Men’s Golf Hosts Duck Invitational Before Heading to The Goodwin

EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon men's golf team is set to play two tournaments this week. The Ducks will host the 35th annual Duck Invitational on Monday and Tuesday at Eugene Country Club before heading to Stanford, Calif., for The Goodwin on March 27-29.

Oregon is coming off of its first team title of the season, finishing atop the leaderboard at the Bandon Dunes Championship to start the month. The Ducks finished with a 4-over 852, using an 8-under final round to separate itself from the field and claim the program's first win since the 2022-23 season. That year, the Ducks won at Bandon before taking the team title at the Duck Invitational.

Greyson Leach led UO individually for the week, finishing second with a 4-under 209. Aiden Krafft (4th, -1) and Ramil Saelim (T6th, +5) also secured top-10 finishes to help the Ducks seal the team title.
