The Oregon men’s golf team completed its third day at the 63rd annual Western Intercollegiate tournament by earning its second tournament win of the season. The very young squad – four freshmen and one sophomore – had three players in the top 10 and four in the top 12 to give them the final edge over Colorado and Fresno State, who finished in a tie for second.
Oregon tallied scores of 282 for the day, and 865 for the tournament. Colorado and Fresno State ended the tournament eight strokes back at 873 each.
Freshman Andrew Vijarro led the way for the Oregon men, shooting a 1-over 71 for the day, and 4-over 214 for the tournament. He finished in a tie for fourth place overall.
Shortly behind him was fellow freshman Robbie Ziegler, who also shot a 1-over 71 for the day. Ziegler ended the tournament in a tie for sixth place with a final score of 5-over 215. Freshmen Eugene Wong and Daniel Miernicki broke even, finishing the tournament at 7-over 217 and 11-over 221, respectively.
The lone sophomore that made the trip, Jack Dukeminier struggled to find his stroke throughout the day and ended up finishing 10-over 80 for the day and 22-over 232 for the tournament.
The Ducks will be in action again on April 10-11 at the Arizona State University Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz.
