NORMAN, Okla. - In its second fall tournament, head coach Derek Radley and the Oregon women's golf team tied for seventh at Oklahoma's Schooner Fall Classic at Belmar Golf Club.

"Monica (Vaughn) and I are proud of the team and their ability to finish strong," Radley said. "Each day we improved over the previous round and that is a big focus of ours going forward."

The Ducks shot 3-over as a team in their first round, 3-under in their second round and 6-under in their third and final round.

Petra Salko (4-under, T-14th) and Tze-Han Lin (3-under, T-19th) both finished in the top-20 individually.

Sophomore Alexis Phadungmartvorakul charged out of the gates to finish a team-best 1-under 70 on Friday. The Ducks started their round on the 10th hole and Phadungmartvorakul birdied 11 and 12. She then shot an eagle on the par-4 16th hole to wrap up the back nine with a 4-under 31. The sophomore was at 5-under after the third hole but bogyed No. 4, 6, 8 and 9 to finish at 1-under on the day.
