LA QUINTA, Calif. – The Oregon men’s golf team is set to continue its season at The Prestige for a three-day tournament beginning on Monday, Feb. 16. The 54-hole, par 72 tournament will be played at the Greg Norman Course at PGA West.

The Prestige has been a regular stop on the Ducks’ spring schedule, where they finished in a tie for ninth as a team at 2-over 854 for the tournament last year. Aiden Krafft led the Oregon lineup last year with two rounds under par to finish 3-under 210 across three rounds. Tim Chang looks to improve on last season’s scores as he makes his second appearance at PGA West. Live scoring for The Prestige will be available at Scoreboard through clippd.com.

All four of Oregon’s counting scores were under par for the tournament, with Casper Nerpin carding a career-low round of 67 and Tim Chang shooting a personal-best 6-under 66. Nerpin carded three eagles in the first two rounds, helping the Ducks to a 31-under 833 to finish 12th in the field.
