After a slow spring; Oregon
golfers regroup for Nationals
When the men’s golf team
stumbled through its opening
meets in early spring, coach Jim
Ferguson was one of the last
people worried.
"Our team usually starts
slowly in the spring because we
don’t play much in the winter,"
Ferguson says. “That's been
the history of golf at Oregon
since I have been here."
Ferguson congratulates him
self now for not pushing the
panic button back in April. The
Ducks have regrouped and will
head to the NCAA Champion
ships, May 27, at Palo Alto, Calif.
It is Oregon’s eighth appear
ance at the three-day tourney
since Ferguson became coach
nine years ago. And it comes
while many of the Oregon
golfers are playing the best golf
of their season, thanks to
warmer weather and increased
playing, Ferguson says.
"When you play all winter in
Oregon without any competi
tion, you don’t know what to
expect. But we’ve played better
every week, and by now we are
playing on par with teams like
use.
"I detected a change in atti
tude They believe they cart play
with anybody now."
Belief in their abilities has put
the Ducks over the edge, Fer
guson says. “The team is really
pumped for the NCAA Cham
pionships."
Five golfers — Shell Joyner,
Scott Kreiger, Eric Johnson,
Steve Bowen and Dave Delong
— will represent Oregon at the
NCAA tourney.
And the tournament comes
just when freshman Joyner and
senior Krieger, Oregon’s
number-one and number-two
golfers, are playing their best
golf of the season. They tied for
10th with 297 at the Pac-10
Championship, pushing the
Ducks into third place.
Joyner’s recent performance
may catch some by surprise, but
not Ferguson.
"We knew he would be a
great one,” Ferguson says. “His
confidence builds each week.
He is losing the butterflies that
sometimes come with the first

year of college competition."
"I was in a terrible slump until
I went home for spring break,”
Joyner says. “It gave me time to
just concentrate on golf.”
The freshman has reacted
well to being the Ducks’ top
golfer in his first season.
“It’s pleasing, but I’m not sur
prised,” Joyner says. "I came
here to be number one on the
team. There are a lot of good
players on this team and anyone
of them could have (been
number one). It was just me who
ended up with the better year.”
At the NCAA Championships,
Ferguson hopes the Ducks
place in the top 15. “We aver
aged 370 at the Pac-10. If we
improve one shot per golfer
each round, we can be talking
about the top 10."
But Ferguson is cautious
about making predictions on
individual performances. With
good reason. He recalls when a
relatively unknown Oregon so
phomore, Jeff Sanders, placed
third in the NCAA Champion
ships in 1975 and earned All
American status.
“So anything can happen."

Unser and his car owner,
