The Ducks look to assert themselves this week as they head to Stanford for the U.S. Intercollegiate tournament in their final competition of the season before heading to the Pacific-10 Conference Championships.
The Ducks will play 36 holes Saturday beginning with an 8 a.m. shotgun start and conclude the tournament with 18 holes on Sunday at the 6,786-yard, par-71 Stanford Golf Course.
The 16-team tournament field includes No. 8 Oklahoma State, No. 11 UCLA, UC Irvine, California, Long Beach State, San Diego State, Pacific, Texas A&M, Washington State, Portland, San Diego, Santa Clara, San Jose State, Fresno State and host Stanford. Individually, six players in the top 50 will play along with two currently ranked in GolfWeek Magazine’s top five.
Oregon finished fourth in last year’s U.S. Intercollegiate, led by then-sophomore Mike Sica, who at the time carded a career-low 67, tying Oregon teammate and then-junior Chris Carnahan in the final round. Carnahan finished the tournament 11th overall.
Oregon begins postseason play with the Pac-10 Championships April 28-30 in Glendale, Calif.
