Magnus went 95-4-2 during that stretch against conference opponents. He is currently tied for 12th in the nation in scoring average at 69.67 and is rated eighth nationally by GolfStat.

A native of Reykjavik, Iceland, Magnus has carded a score of par or better in eight of his nine rounds. Magnus has also notched three straight 54-hole scores under par for the first time in a season including a career-best 6-under (207) score at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate finishing in seventh place.

Magnus has placed top 5 in his last two events finishing in a tie for fourth at both with a 5-under (208) at the Sun Belt Conference Fall Preview and a 4-under (212) at the Cabo Del Sol Intercollegiate. The senior has tallied four rounds in the 60s and has twice carded a career-low 67 this fall.
