Men's Golf to Host 36th Annual Duck Invitational
03/21/26 | Men's Golf
EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon men's golf team is set to host the 36th Annual Duck Invitational in a two-day, 54 hole tournament beginning on Monday, March 23.
Two continuous rounds will be played on Monday, followed by the final 18 holes on Tuesday with play beginning at 8:30 a.m. PT each day. Eugene Country Club will be this year's host for a par-71, 6,997 yard course. Live scoring for the tournament will be available at Scoreboard powered by Clippd.com.
Oregon returns to defend its home course after securing the title at the Duck Invitational last season. The Ducks entered the final round in a tie for the lead and fought through a stellar back nine to claim the team title at their home tournament in 2025.
Ramil Saelim and Jeffrey Kwak both return to the course after top-10 finishes last season. Saelim finished in a tie for third after carding a 7-under 206 last season, the best result of his career.
Kwak was two strokes behind with a 5-under 208 and a low 68 in the third round. Aiden Krafft went even on the tournament last year.
Oregon is coming off its best finish of the season with a second place result at the Bandon Dunes Championship earlier in March. The Ducks had three top-10 finishers for a total tournament score of 838, just behind the winning Oregon State team.
