Big Ten Tournament Recap: Oregon Ducks Tennis and Men’s Golf

Men’s Golf: Big Ten Championships

The Ducks finished a solid season with a strong showing a brutal course at the the Baltimore Country Club. First place UCLA finished +2 overall, and no team finished at par or under on a rough weather day 3. Oregon finished in fourth place at +15. Greyson Leach led the way at -4 individually, finishing tied for runner up as an individual. If he can manage seven birdies during the post-season he would tie the all time Oregon record.

The Ducks will begin post-season play the Auburn Regional on Monday May 12.

Tennis: Big Ten Championships

The women’s tennis team closed out the season on April 20 with a season ending win over Nebraska to close out a 2-11 Big Ten campaign. Finishing 15th out of 18 programs they did not get an invitation to the conference tournament, but Tilde Jagare did pick up post-season accolades.

The men’s team finished the regular season 5-8 in conference, good enough for 9th place and a spot in the qualifying round of the Big Ten Tournament where they were eliminated 8th place Illinois. The Ducks fell into an all-too-familiar pattern by losing the doubles point 2-1. Facing a deficit against a higher seed in singles play, Oregon surrendered three of the first four matches and were eliminated 4-1. Clement Lemire was up in his third set 5-0 and Paris Pouatcha was about to begin his third set having come back to win his second when the meet was called. In the end only Vlad Brezau was able to put up a point for the Ducks, defeating Tyler Bowers of the Illini 6-4, 7-6.

Though the tennis season is now concluded, there were post-season honors for Lenn Luemkemann.
