The Oregon men’s golf team is set to compete in the Bandon Dunes Championship, which begins Sunday at the Pacific Dunes course in Bandon, Oregon. The tournament will feature 18 holes each day, with live scoring available through Clippd Scoreboard.

Oregon recently finished February with a strong performance at The Prestige tournament. Senior Aiden Krafft earned individual medalist honors after two rounds that were shortened due to wind. Krafft’s rounds of 69 and 68 gave him a total score of 137, finishing five under par for his second career win.

The Ducks have won the last three team titles at the Bandon Dunes Championship, claiming victories in 2025, 2023, and 2022. Last year, they finished with a score of four over par (864), and their third-round tally was the only under-par round by any team at Bandon Trails. Three Oregon players placed in the top ten individually in 2025, including runner-up Greyson Leach. Two members from last year’s lineup—Aiden Krafft and Ramil Saelim—are returning this season.

This year’s field includes fifteen teams: Air Force, Denver, Eastern Washington, Idaho, Oregon State, Pennsylvania, Sacramento State, Santa Clara, Seattle, Seton Hall, SIU Edwardsville, Utah Tech, Utah Valley, Wofford, and Oregon.

Oregon’s lineup for the championship features Aiden Krafft (senior), Sebastian Desoisa (freshman), Casper Nerpin (senior), Jeffrey Kwak (junior), and Ramil Saelim (sophomore). Several players will also compete as individuals: Tim Chang (sophomore), Oscar Lent (freshman), Kyreece Romero (junior), Teddy Vigna (freshman), and Jeffrey Kwak.

Freshmen Sebastian Desoisa and Oscar Lent have quickly made an impact on the team. Before joining Oregon, both represented Great Britain and Ireland at the Jacques Leglise Trophy Match. Lent tied for first place at the Tindall Individual Tournament during his collegiate debut in September. Desoisa secured individual medalist honors at the Cal Poly Invitational with a final score of 17-under 199—a result that matches Owen Avrit and Eric Doyle for the fifth-lowest score in program history.

Head Coach Casey Martin is leading Oregon into his twentieth season. Martin has guided the Ducks to eighteen NCAA Regionals and eleven NCAA Championship appearances during his tenure. His leadership was highlighted by winning the NCAA title in 2016.

“Head Coach Casey Martin is in the midst of his 20th season with the Ducks and has amassed an impressive resume. Martin has led Oregon to 18 NCAA Regionals and 11 NCAA Championship appearances, headlined by the 2016 NCAA title.”

“Oregon closed out the month of February with a strong showing in tough conditions at The Prestige, where Aiden Krafft took home individual medalist honors after a wind-shortened two rounds of play.”

“Two of Oregon’s freshmen, Sebastian Desoisa and Oscar Lent, made an immediate impact on the Oregon lineup.”

“Oregon finished last year’s tournament with a 4-over 864, and the Duck’s third round tally marked the lone under-par round out of any team at Bandon Trails.”
