At the completion of 54 holes, Trueba was in a tie for the second championship qualification spot. He then won a playoff, 5-6 to earn his place in the NCAA Division II Men's Golf National Championship.
He has become one of the most decorated golfers in program history in only one season on campus. Over the year, Trueba has won three tournaments, no other Tornado has won more than one tournament in their career. He has posted five top 10 finishes and four top five finishes while averaging 70.72 strokes per round. Trueba has recorded 18 rounds of par or lower, including his season low of 67.
Trueba will tee off at the NCAA Division II Men's Golf National Championship on Monday at TPC Michigan in Dearborn, Mich. The second round is scheduled for Tuesday and the final round on Wednesday.
