Sun Belt golf title taken by Trojans

Jansen Smith didn't need anyone to tell him that his birdie on Mystic Creek Golf Course's 16th hole Wednesday evening was worth celebrating.

Two holes later, Smith didn't even have to swing his putter to set off another celebration. And this time, the Trojan junior wasn't reveling alone.

Smith's lengthy birdie late in the No. 3 match against Georgia Southern swung the momentum toward the University of Arkansas-Little Rock as the Trojans won 3-1-1 to claim the Sun Belt Conference men's golf tournament title in El Dorado.

Smith followed back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 -- which moved him 1-down to 1-up -- with a tight approach on the par-5 18th, needing only a two-putt tap-in par to win his match against Hogan Ingram and give UALR its third point to clinch the third men's golf conference championship ever.
