UO Men?s Golf Hosts Oregon Duck Invitational
EUGENE, Ore. ? The Oregon men’s golf team will host the annual Oregon Duck Invitational beginning Monday at Shadow Hills Country Club in Junction City, Ore. Teams will play 36 holes Monday on a par-72, 6,802-yard lay out, while Tuesday’s final round will feature a slightly longer 6,900-yard configuration. The first tee times are at 8 a.m. each day.
The Ducks will be joined by Cal State Northridge, Drake, Idaho, Oregon State, Portland, San Diego, San Diego State, Stanford, Utah Valley State, Washington State and Wyoming.
Oregon will compete a young squad that features three freshmen -- Eric Hastings, Matt Ma and Dustin Pewarchuk -- in addition to senior Mike Sica and sophomore Justin St. Clair (Springfield, Ore.).
Five other Ducks will compete as individuals, including sophomores Chris Dukeminier (Eugene, Ore.), Kyle Johnson (North Bend, Ore.) and Gregg LaVoie, and freshmen Matt Amen and Jay Snyder. It will be the first tournament experience for Snyder, a walk-on from Vancouver, B.C., who joined the team during the winter quarter.
Last year when the Oregon Duck Invitational was held at Eugene Country Club, the Ducks finished third at 3-over 867. Johnson tied for eighth at 1-under 215, while Sica tied for 14th at 3-over 219.
