Saint Mary's Invitational
10/20/26 | Men's Golf
SEASIDE, Calif. — The Oregon men's golf team moved into sole possession of first place at the Saint Mary's Invitational on Tuesday, shooting a 5-under 283 in the second round to take a two-stroke lead into Wednesday's final round at Bayonet Golf Course.
The Ducks sit at 15-under through 36 holes, two strokes ahead of California (-13), while Santa Clara (-11), Washington (-10) and Cal Poly (-7) round out the top five. Oregon entered Tuesday tied atop the leaderboard with California and Washington after opening the tournament with a season-best 10-under 278 on Monday.
The Ducks are seeking back-to-back tournament victories for the first time since winning the Duck Invitational and Bandon Dunes Championship in March 2025. Oregon is also in contention for its third Saint Mary's Invitational title, having previously won the event in 2011 and 2021. The Ducks last competed at the tournament in 2021, when they claimed the team championship.
How it Happened
Oregon closed out Tuesday's second round in strong fashion, recording two birdies and an eagle on the par-5 18th hole to move into sole possession of first place heading into the final 18 holes.
Adam Anderson led the Ducks on Tuesday, firing a 4-under 68 to move into a tie for third on the individual leaderboard at 7-under. The sophomore transfer opened with a 3-under 33 on the front nine, carding birdies on holes 1, 7 and 8 before making the turn. Anderson added an eagle on the par-5 10th hole before a bogey on No. 11 and played his final seven holes at even par.
Sebastian Desoisa followed his opening-round 67 with a 1-under 71 to finish Tuesday tied for sixth at 6-under. The sophomore started strong with birdies on holes 1, 4 and 5 before a score of * on the ninth hole brought him to 2-over at the turn. Desoisa responded by playing his final nine holes at 3-under, highlighted by a birdie on the par-3 17th and an eagle on the par-5 18th to help push the Ducks into the lead.
Von Gordon bounced back from an opening-round 75 with a 2-under 70 on Tuesday, contributing a counting score and moving into a tie for 38th at 1-over. After making the turn at 1-over, Gordon played his final nine holes at 3-under, carding birdies on holes 10, 15 and 16 before closing his round with another birdie on the par-5 18th.
The strong finishes from Anderson, Desoisa and Gordon proved decisive in the closing moments of Tuesday's second round, giving Oregon a two-stroke advantage heading into Wednesday's final round.
Tim Chang rounded out Oregon's counting scores with a 2-over 74, finishing the second round tied for 28th at even par. Chang made the turn at 2-under after recording birdies on holes 3 and 5, but a double bogey on No. 12 and a bogey on No. 13 brought him back over par. The junior enters Wednesday's final round seeking his second consecutive top-20 finish.
