EUGENE, Ore. — The University of Colorado men’s golf team was in fourth place late in the second round of the 33rd annual Oregon Duck Invitational here Monday when play was suspended due to darkness.
Host and No. 23 Oregon was ahead of No. 23 Colorado State by seven strokes when play was called at 7 p.m. local Pacific time. The Ducks were 1-over par as a team; CSU was 8-over; Oregon State was in third (12-over), followed by the Buffaloes (14-over) with Kansas rounding out the top five (16-over).
Colorado, ranked No. 52, was in third place after the first round, which was delayed by 75 minutes due to frost; the Buffaloes shot a 4-over par 288 and were one out of the lead. Most of the round was played in the upper 30s, eventually “warming” to 41 by the end of the round, which saw just five players under par (just two in the 60s, both 69s) and six who equaled par on the 6,995-yard, par-71 Eugene Country Club course.
It was cold all day, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, with light rain commencing during the afternoon round that eventually turned into moderate showers. Half the field has either two or three holes remaining to finish in the second round, the other half either four or five.
Sophomore Justin Biwer is tied for third at present with four holes left in his second round; he’s in at even-par after scoring four birdies in the morning with 13 pars and a bogey, following with a birdie, 11 pars, a bogey and a double in the afternoon. With one of the two 69’s in the morning, which included a 33 on the front nine, he was tied for the lead heading into round two after birdying his last two holes (Nos. 2 and 3) in the first round. He played the par-3’s at 2-under on Monday, the best in the field as only two others were under par on the shorts.
Freshman Hunter Swanson is currently tied for 11th as he is 2-over par with five holes remaining to play in round two. The only Buff under par in the afternoon (minus-1), he opened with a 74 after recording 15 pars and three bogeys in the morning. He had three birdies and two bogeys among his 13 holes in the second round.
Sophomore Tucker Clark was tied for third after fashioning a 1-under 70, one of five subpar scores in the first round, but slid a little bit into a tie for 16th after standing 4-over through 13 holes in the afternoon. He has two birdies and 25 pars with just three bogeys and a double through 31 holes as he also needs to finish five to complete his…
