Ducks Finish Tied for Ninth at The Prestige

LA QUINTA, Calif. – The Oregon men's golf team turned in their second under-par round of the week on Wednesday to wrap up play at The Prestige, finishing tied for ninth in the 24-team field.

The Ducks wrapped up Wednesday's final round at the Greg Norman Course at PGA WEST with a 2-under 282, the same score they shot in Monday's round. Three Ducks finished par or better in the finale as the Ducks climbed four spots up the leaderboard, finishing with a 2-over 854 for the tournament. San Diego claimed the team title at 18 under.

Individually, Aiden Krafft led the Ducks with a 3 under performance for the week, earning his second-straight top-20 finish and third of the season after an even-par 71 in the final round. San Diego's Ryan Abuan won the individual title at 11 under.

How It Happened
For the second day in a row, Greyson Leach turned in the best round of the day for the Ducks. The senior carded a 3-under 68 in the final round to climb 33 spots up the leaderboard, finishing the tournament with a 3-over 216. Leach tallied a team-high five birdies and two bogeys en route to his eighth round under par this season.

Krafft made his first collegiate hole-in-one on the 140-yard, par-3 4th hole, the lone eagle recorded by the Ducks on the week and one of two aces at The Prestige this year. The junior also carded a birdie to go with three bogeys, finishing even-par on the day and 3 under for the week to tie for 19th individually.

Eric Doyle carded a 1-under 70 in the final round and finished the week at 1 under, his third-consecutive tournament under par. The senior also recorded a team-high five birdies, all of which came on the back nine.

Tim Chang rounded out the Ducks' counting scores with a 2-over 73 for his best round of the week. After scoring 5 over in his first three holes, the freshman settled down and played the final 15 holes 3 under.

Quotable
"Kind of a mixed bag for us today," head coach Casey Martin said. "We did some good things, but made way too many mistakes on the par 5s. When we play them well, we have competed with the best teams, but you can't have a good event making bogeys on par 5s. We've got room to improve in that category."

Notable
By finishing in the top 12, the Ducks have earned an invitation back to La Quinta for the 2026 Prestige.

Next Up
The Ducks will play their first of two tournaments in Oregon to start the month of March. UO heads to the coast for the Bandon Dunes Championship from March 9-11, before returning to Eugene for the Duck Invitational.
