Ducks in sixth after first day
The women play in the
second round of the
western regionals today
By Brett Williams
for the Emerald
In a field loaded with talent, the
Oregon women’s golf team shot a
302, good for sixth place in the
first round of the NCAA West Re
gionals on Thursday at Pine For
est Country Club in Houston.
Oregon head coach Renee
Baumgartner is impressed with
the skill of the participants at re
gionals this season.
“In my 12 years of coaching,
this is the most talented field I
have ever seen,” said Baumgart
ner, who led Oregon to a seventh
place finish at the NCAA Cham
pionships two seasons ago.
“We’re definitely in the thick of
things, though.”
Oregon led the field after 12
holes, keeping its score under par.
Oregon’s red-hot putting has kept
it in the mix during the first day of
competition.
“This was the
lowest putting
average we’ve
had this sea
son,” said
Baumgartner,
who saw her
team putt 28
times Thursday. “Angie [Rizzo]
and Pam [Sowden] had hot put
ters all day.”
Sowden and Rizzo’s success on
the greens translated into the
Ducks’ lowest scores. Sowden
was Oregon’s top performer with
a 73, and Rizzo is right behind her
at 75. Jerilyn White shot a 76, and
Dawn Berry ended up with a 78.
Surprisingly, Oregon’s top scor
er on the season, Karen Bristow,
finished with the worst Oregon
score at 79. The senior, who aver
ages 76.5 strokes, missed the Pa
cific-10 Conference Tournament
to return to Australia for personal
reasons. Baumgartner dismisses
the notion that her absence in that
tournament reflected on her high
score Thursday.
“She hit great shots; they
would just roll over the green, and
her putter wasn’t her friend,”
Baumgartner said. “But she al
ways comes through when we
need her, and she handles pres
sure very well.”
Consistency may be Oregon’s
key in improving its ranking in
the tournament. Rizzo had two
triple bogies, but finished only
three over par because of multiple
birdies.
“We need to eliminate big
numbers,” Baumgartner said. “If
we do that, we’ll be fine.”
No. 18 UO drives for momentum
The Ducks’ final test
before regionals starts
today at Stanford
By Brett Williams
for the Emerald
Coming off a third-place finish
at the Pacific-10 Tournament last
week, the Oregon men’s golf team
begins its last test before the
NCAA West Regionals today at
Stanford Golf Course in the U.S.
Intercollegiate.
The two-day tournament will
help No. 18 Oregon decipher
where it stands nationally, partic
ipating against three ranked Pac
10 opponents. No. 7 Arizona
State, No. 12 Washington and No.
24 California are featured. Other
Pac-10 opponents in the top 40
are UCLA, Stanford, Oregon State
and Southern California.
Oregon’s indi
vidual perfor
mances at the
Pac-lOs and
throughout the
season merited
conference hon
ors that were accepted this week.
Adrian Burtner, despite a 39th
place finish at the Pac-lO’s, cap
tured second-team all-league hon
ors.
Ryan Lavoie and Andrew Tred
way, who both tied for ninth in
the tournament, received honor
able-mention honors.
Ben Crane, who leads Oregon
with a 73.21 average, was voted
honorable mention as well.
Crane’s play at the U.S. Intercol
legiate last season led the Ducks
to a fifth-place finish. Crane man
aged to shoot a 68 in the final
round to place third individually.
No Oregon player has ever won
the individual championship.
Oregon’s last and only team title
was in 1993.
Stanford’s Joel Kribel has en
joyed tremendous success at this
tournament in years past. As a
freshman, Kribel earned first
place individually.
