PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Texas A&M senior golfer Adrià Arnaus is among 14 of the country's top collegiate golfers who will compete in an 18-hole shootout on Monday at the Riviera Country Club with the goal of earning an exemption into the PGA's Northern Trust Open.

Each collegiate player in the field will team up with a PGA Tour player as well as two amateurs who represent their respective university in the second-annual Collegiate Showcase. Arnaus will be paired alongside Aggie pro Bronson Burgoon as well as amateurs Lou Paletta and Jay Graham.

Last season, Texas A&M was represented at the showcase by Greg Yates.

The college golfer with the lowest 18-hole score will receive a spot in the Northern Trust Open three days later. The pro and two amateurs, meanwhile, will compete for the Champions Trophy and a $50,000 donation to their alma mater's program.

The programs represented in this year's competition along with Texas A&M are Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Northwestern, Texas, UCLA, UNLV, USC, Wake Forest, and Washington.

The PGA's Northern Trust Open will take place at The Riviera Country Club Feb. 18-21.
