In what was the Oregon
women’s golf team’s final regular
season competition before the Pa
cific-10 Conference Champi
onships, Oregon did little to build
momentum as it finished 15th in
the 16-team Ping/ASU Invitational
held this weekend at the par-72,
6,183-yard Karsten Golf Course.
Oregon was led by freshman
Therese Wenslow’s 227 three-day
combined score, placing her tied
at 39th overall. Freshman Michelle
Timpani tied for 53rd overall as
the Ducks barely edged out North
ern Arizona.
No. 9 California won the team ti
tle with a one-stroke victory over
No. 4 Texas. No. 16 UCLA was
third with a team score of 878, fol
lowed by conference rivals No. 5
USC and No. 6 Arizona to round
out the top five. The Ducks shot a
combined 934, 58 strokes behind
the Bears. Cal’s Charlotte May
orkas won the individual title with
a combined 209.
Oregon now has two weeks off
before it heads to Corvallis to com
pete in the Pac-10 Champi
onships, April 24-26 at Trysting
Tree Golf Course.
Oregon looks to secure
regional bid
With postseason implications
on the line, the Oregon men’s golf
team travels to the 57th annual
Western Intercollegiate today and
Tuesday to compete at the 6,445
yard, par-70 Pasatiempo Country
Club in Santa Cruz, Calif. Oregon
will join 12 other teams from
District 8, all of which are fighting
for a bid to the upcoming NCAA
West Regional.
“It’s going to be really important
to play well with so many teams
from District 8 in the field,” head
coach Steve Nosier said. “We’re ac
tually in pretty good shape as far
as a bid to regionals is concerned,
but we could really lock it up with
a good showing at Pasatiempo.”
The Ducks are peaking at the
right time of the season, coming
off their third-place finish at the
Oregon Duck Invitational two
weeks ago. Senior John Ellis fin
ished the tournament in a first
place tie, moving him up in the na
tional rankings, where he
currently occupies the No. 46 po
sition. Ellis leads the Ducks with a
71.5 stroke average and tied with
teammate and senior Chris Carna
han at Pasatiempo two years ago.

Onterrio Smith and George
Wrighster were understandably
absent from practice Saturday.
Both declared for the NFL Draft
after their junior seasons in the
month following the final loss of
last season. Bellotti has not named
a starter at either running back or
tight end to replace the two.
However, there are candidates
to fill the spots.
Bellotti did not successfully
recruit any running backs during
the offseason. However, he does
have a group of runners that showed
some promise late last season.
In Smith’s absence during a late
season injury, Terrence Whitehead
and Ryan Shaw showed consisten
cy, and in Whitehead’s case, an
ability to break open a big run.
Joining them is Kenny Washington
and Chris Vincent, a redshirt last
season after transferring from
Louisiana State.
Vincent has strong football blood
lines. His cousin, Troy Vincent, is an
NFL comerback.
“I thought they all caught the ball
really well,” Bellotti said, adding that
he won’t be able to get a true read on

“Everybody that we had in there re
ally did what they had to do today.”
“I’m looking at this and trying to
just make plays,” Whitehead said.
“Every time I touch the play, every
rep I get, I’ve just got to make a play
and make the best of it.”
Tim Day and junior college trans
fer Eddie Whitaker are both battling
for the tight end position, with Bel
lotti signaling out Whitaker for his
play during the first practice.
Whitaker starred at Los Angeles Val
ley College last season.

the field Thursday, then hold their
first scrimmage of the spring
on Saturday.
