As it turned out, Oregon’s best performances came from players who competed individually and did not factor into the team score. Freshman Rak Cho rode a 2-under 211 to a sterling third-place finish, while Jonathan Woo — also a freshman — tied for seventh with a 2-over 215. Washington’s Chris Williams won the tournament with a 9-under 204, while Kevin Lim of Long Beach State trailed in second with a final score of 3-under 210.
