04/29/26 | Men's Golf
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon men's golf team has its sights set on the Big Ten Championships, with this year's event taking place close to home in Portland.
The Ducks will compete over 54 holes at the par-72, 7,017-yard course, with 18 holes scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's final round will be televised on the Big Ten Network, and live scoring will be available via the Clippd Scoreboard.
The Ducks will stay in-state for this year's Big Ten Conference Tournament, with a quick 124-mile trek. The rest of the field will average approximately 1,905 miles in travel distance, with the farthest school covering nearly 3,000 miles.
Oregon enters the Big Ten Championships having recorded top-five finishes in six consecutive conference tournaments. The Ducks are seeking their first conference title since 2017. In their first appearance at the Big Ten Championships last year, the Ducks finished fourth, highlighted by an individual runner-up performance from alumnus Greyson Leach.
OU closed out the regular season earlier this month with a ninth-place finish in a 15-team field at 17-over par at the 79th Western Intercollegiate. Aiden Krafft shot a 5-under-par 65 in the second round, while Ramil Saelim finished the third round at 2-under. Both Oregon players placed inside the top 30.
