The Oregon Ducks men’s golf team will wrap up its 2026 regular season at the 79th Western Intercollegiate in Santa Cruz, California, according to an April 10 announcement. The tournament is hosted by Pasatiempo Golf Club, where the Ducks finished eighth last year.
This event marks the final opportunity for the team to compete before postseason play. Last season, Aiden Krafft and Ramil Saelim tied for 22nd place with even scores, while Jeffrey Kwak also placed in the top 50. This year, newcomers Sebastian Desoisa, Casper Nerpin, Oscar Lent, and Kyreece Romero will make their debuts on this course.
The team’s recent results include a tie for seventeenth at The Goodwin in March and two consecutive second-place finishes at both The Bandon Dunes Championships and The Duck Invitational. All three days of competition will be broadcast live on The Golf Channel with live scoring available through Scoreboard powered by clippd.com.
The field features fifteen teams including six ranked squads such as Pepperdine (#13), Stanford (#18), Arizona (#22), BYU (#24), USC (#30), San Diego State (#35), along with Big Ten opponents and others like Washington (#40) and UNLV (#50).
Oregon’s lineup highlights several standout performances from this season: Krafft won The Prestige after two rounds; Desoisa was individual medalist at Cal Poly Invitational; Kwak posted a career-low round of 66 at The Tindall; Nerpin made three eagles in two rounds at Amer Ari Invitational; Saelim tied for seventh at Duck Invitational; Lent tied for first at the Tindall Individual Tournament; Romero finished tied-sixteenth at The Prestige.
Head Coach Casey Martin is currently leading his twentieth season with Oregon. Martin has guided the program to eighteen NCAA Regionals and eleven NCAA Championship appearances, including a national title in 2016.
