CORVALLIS, Ore. — The Oregon men's golf team claims the Oregon State Invitational championship after a clutch performance in round three on Tuesday.

The Ducks went into round three tied for second, just one stroke behind Eastern Washington. Oregon stayed the course and gained four strokes in their final four holes collectively for a 7-under round three and 17-under tournament finish, a comfortable five strokes ahead of second place Boise State. A surging Boise State and Oregon traded turns at the top throughout the final day, but Oregon kept their foot on the gas. All four players with counting scores combined to shoot a 8-under across their final nine holes. Boise State, Eastern Washington, Oregon State and Utah State rounded out the top five, respectively.

It is the Ducks' first tournament win since they won back-to-back in March of 2025 at the Bandon Dunes Championship and the Duck Invitational.

"It was a great win for us. The guys battled and made some clutch birdies down the stretch. I'm super proud of them," head coach Casey Martin said. "We knew we needed to play well without Seb (Sebastian Desoisa), who is competing on the DP World Tour this week in Spain, and the guys stepped up."

How It Happened
Oregon entered the final round one stroke off the lead before using a strong finish to pull away and claim the Oregon State Invitational title.

Saelim, starting on the second hole, played his opening nine holes in 1 under before making his move late in the round. The junior birdied the 12th, 13th and 14th holes and added another birdie on the 18th before finishing on the first hole to card a bogey-free 5-under 66.

Chang started on the first hole and made the turn at 1 under after birdies on the third and ninth holes offset a bogey on the sixth. The junior played the back nine in 3 under, making back-to-back birdies on the 13th and 14th before adding another on the 18th to close with a 4-under 67.

Chang and Saelim both played bogey-free closing stretches, combining to shoot 7 under over their final nine holes and put the Ducks in position to pull away late.

Eriksson started on the fourth hole and battled back after bogeys on the fourth, 13th and 17th. The freshman birdied the first and third holes, two of his final three holes of the day, to finish with an even-par 71.

Kwak began his round on the fifth hole and moved to 1 over after a bogey on the 10th. The senior birdied the 16th before giving the stroke back with a bogey on the 17th and played his final five holes at even par to card a 1-over 72.

Kwak's steady finish and Eriksson's two late birdies provided key insurance down the stretch as the Ducks closed in on the team title.

Oregon finished the final round with a 7-under 277, its lowest team score of the tournament. The Ducks finished at 17 under overall to defeat Boise State by five strokes and secure the Oregon State Invitational title.

Oregon also received strong performances from its individual competitors, led by Von Gordon, who capped an impressive collegiate debut with a 1-under 70 to finish tied for second at 8 under. Teddy Vigna finished tied for 19th at 1 under, while Logan Park closed his collegiate debut at 4 over and Oscar Lent finished at 5 over.

Chang, Saelim and Gordon each finished tied for second at 8 under, sharing runner-up honors.
