Lavoie all Pac-10,
Ducks disappoint
■The team finishes fourth
at the U.S. Intercollegiate,
but Ryan Lavoie is named to
the all-Pac-10 team

The No. 18 Oregon men’s golf
team was treating the U.S. Inter
collegiate in Palo Alto, Calif., this
weekend as a warm-up for the
West Regionals next week.
Well, they’re almost warm, and
senior Ryan Lavoie is positively
hot.
The Ducks got a good perform
ance from Lavoie, who finished
ninth overall,
but the rest of
the team was
unable to come
back from a
poor first
round and
Oregon ended
up fourth. Despite being the high
est-seeded team going into the
U.S. Intercollegiate, Oregon shot
an opening round 300, then two
rounds of 289 to drop from sev
enth to fourth on Sunday.
Senior co-captain Lavoie,
ranked 38th in the nation, contin
ued to shine for the Ducks, shoot
ing two even-par rounds, then a
four-over 75 in the final round.
Lavoie continued his statistical
leadership of the team, which he
has lead in scoring at seven of 12
tournaments this year.
The Pasco, Wash., native
achieved an Oregon milestone
Friday when he became just the
third Duck in 21 years to earn first
fF7'
team all Pacific-10 Conference
honors. Lavoie was the only non
Arizona school golfer to be named
to the five-man team, joining Ari
zona State’s Paul Casey, Matt
Jones and Jeff Quinney, as well as
Arizona’s Ricky Barnes and Derek
•Gillespie for the honors.
Oregon freshman Chris Carna
han, who held the Ducks’ second
best stroke average at 74 before
the U.S. Intercollegiate, received
an honorable mention for all Pac
10 honors. Carnahan finished
46th at last weekend’s tourna
ment.
Other finishers for Oregon at
the Stanford tournament were
senior co-captain Andrew Tred
way, who finished in 24th; junior
T.J. Duncan, who finished 50th;
and sophomore Aaron Byers, who
finished 79th. Duncan had the
team’s best round of the weekend,
a five-under par 66 in the final
round.
No. 37 California won the U.S.
Intercollegiate by one stroke over
No. 46 Pepperdine. The Golden
Bears won the Stanford-hosted
tournament behind the play of
74th-ranked Han Lee, who won
the individual title by two strokes.
Unranked Portland University
finished third, six strokes ahead
of Oregon. Only five top-50 teams
played in the 18-team field in Palo
Alto, and the Ducks only man
aged to beat two of those.
The Ducks’ next tournament
will be the NCAA West Regionals
in Fresno, Calif., May 18-20. The
teams for regionals, as well as the
cut for the NCAA Champi
onships, will be announced this
week.
