The Ducks are currently in ninth at the Pac-10 Championships and are being led by Jerilyn White, a three-year starter.
White
continued from page 7
with a seventh-place finish at the
Arizona Wildcat Invitational, and
her turnaround was launched from
there. She led the Ducks at every
tournament after that and now
hopes to lead the team to a pros
perous postseason.
The senior attributes her 360-de
gree turn to a
golf club that
can make or
break a golfer:
the putter. As
she practiced
for the last
time before the
postseason Fri
day, White
stood on a
practice green
at the Eugene
Country Club and drained five .six
foot putts in a row.
“I got a new putter and got my
putting going, which I had kind of
been struggling with for awhile,”
White said. “Now, it’s just giving
me a lot of confidence going into
Pac-lOs.”
White’s legacy at Oregon will
last much longer than a few 15
foot putts. She was the only under
classman starter on a senior-laden
team in 1999-2000 and finished
ROUILLARD
60th in the country last season, af
ter a ranking of 96th in 1998-99.
She is currently ranked 35th in the
nation.
But those accomplishments
don’t tap into the biggest impact
she has on the team: her leader
ship on and off the course.
“She’s not only our captain but
Her experience and
her knowledge of the
game, and the fact that
she's such a mentally
tough player; make her a
perfect leader.
Shannon Rouillard
Oregon head coach
she’s definitely a leader by exam
ple,” Rouillard said. “She has,
throughout the entire season, led
this team all the way around, on
the golf course and off the golf
course, in terms of what she adds
to this team.”
White has worn the crown as
team leader with the ease of a
prom queen this season. She
strolls down the fairways of the
Eugene Country Club, or whatev
er course the Ducks may be play
ing, with a confidence that all
great golfers possess.
“Underclassmen see from her
what will be expected of them in
the future,” Rouillard said. “Her
experience and her knowledge of
the game, and the fact that she’s
such a mentally tough player,
make her a perfect leader.”
Another quality shared by lead
ers, golfers and college students —
which White possesses, according
to Rouillard — is humility. White
is so unpretentious that she won’t
even discuss her scores with other
players, or her coach, when she’s
playing in a tournament.
“She thinks that she does better
when I don’t know how she’s play
ing,” Rouillard said. “I didn’t even
realize she was shooting a 68 at
Stanford. If she thinks she plays
better by not telling me, that’s fine.
I really don’t have to worry about
Jerilyn.”
White doesn’t have much to
worry about any more this season,
except the Pac-10 Championships,
the NCAA Regionals and possibly
the NCAA Championships.
Unless, of course, that evil num
ber 77 shows up again.
White just hopes the only num
ber she sees at those important
postseason tournaments is 67 —
and, at the end of the season', the
number one, for the national place
of the Ducks.

who shot an even-par 72 at a
course she is “very familiar with,”
according to Oregon head coach
Shannon Rouillard.
“She knows Arizona State’s
course very well; she’s played it
many times,” Rouillard said. “We
had regionals here last year, and
she finished birdie-eagle, so she
has a lot of good memories of this
golf course.”
White has a penchant for start
ing slow, then finishing strong.
White is only three strokes behind
the tournament’s leader.
CC The last two
tournaments we’ve been
closing the gap on teams
ahead of us.
Nancy McDaniel
California coach
“I just know she’s going to tear it
up and play real well,” Rouillard
said.
Other Oregon finishers Monday
included senior Claire Hunter (77,
34th), sophomore Megan
Heckeroth (78, 39th), senior Dawn
Berry (79, 45th) and junior Kathy
Cho (80, 47th).
The Ducks could overtake some
teams in front of them with a
strong round today. Eighth-place
Oregon State is three strokes ahead
of Oregon, seventh-place Washing
ton is seven stokes up and sixth
place UCLA is eight strokes in
front of the Ducks.
The Pac-10 teams will continue
play with one 18-hole round today
and one tomorrow.
