SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Oregon men's golf team finished the final round of play at The Gifford in sixth place on Wednesday at the par-71, 6,996-yard La Costa Legends course.
How It Happened: The Ducks carded a 10-over 294 in Wednesday's final round for a 54-hole tally of 871 to wrap up the tournament in sixth at 19-over. Washington was the only team to shoot under par for the tournament, taking home the team title at 6-under.
Sophomore Aaron Wise turned in a 1-over 72 in his final round of the fall to finish the tournament in 11th at 2-over.
Sulman Raza shot 5-over in Wednesday's third round. The redshirt junior finished the week in 12th overall at 3-over for the tournament after firing 4-under 67 in Tuesday's second round to match his season-low score to par.
Freshman Edwin Yi and senior Zach Foushee wrapped up the week in a tie for 45th. Yi notched his best round of the tournament, recording a 1-over 72 to finish at 11-over. Foushee carded a 3-over 74 to finish 11-over as well.
Thomas Lim finished play at The Gifford tied for 56th at 13-over after a final-round 78.
Competing as an individual, Sam Foust rounded out his second collegiate tournament in a tie for 37th at 8-over after a 75 in his final round.
From Head Coach Casey Martin: “It was a little disappointing. I didn't think that we played near as well as we're capable of. The elements were very difficult here and the conditions were tough, but we didn't really have our best stuff. We had a couple of good events in the fall and a couple that weren't so great. We need to get better and go attack in the spring because it's a big spring for us.”
Notes and Numbers: The course played the hardest it had all week on Wednesday, resulting in a 74.91 average score for the day … Stanford's Maverick McNealy and the Washington duo of Chris Babcock and Corey Pereira shared the individual tournament title with scores of 4-under.
Up Next: The Ducks will have a couple of months off before returning to action Feb. 4-6 at the Amer Ari Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
