Flying High at No. 2
Oregon is No. 2 in the national Golfstat rankings for the third week in a row, while also coming in at No. 2 in the WGCA and Golfweek rankings.

Living In The Top Five
The Ducks head to Napa with an impressive history of top-five finishes under head coach Derek Radley. Oregon has placed in the top five in each of its eight tournaments so far in 2021-22, headlined by a trio of dominant wins. UO has recorded 20 top-five finishes in its last 22 tournaments dating back to the 2019-20 season, with four total wins during that stretch. Overall, the Ducks have earned 26 top-five finishes in 33 total tournaments since Radley and assistant coach Monica Vaughn took over ahead of the 2018-19 season.
