Oregon returns to The Prestige after tying for ninth place last year with a team score of 2-over 854. Aiden Krafft led the Ducks in that event by finishing 3-under 210 across three rounds. Tim Chang is set to compete again at PGA West and aims to improve on his previous performance. Live scoring will be available through clippd.com.

In the second round of that tournament, Oregon posted a score of 16-under 272, also equaling the seventh best mark in school history.
All four counting scores for Oregon were under par during the Amer Ari Invitational. Casper Nerpin achieved a career-low round of 67 while Tim Chang shot his personal best with a 6-under 66. Nerpin made three eagles over the first two rounds as Oregon finished twelfth overall.
