Oregon men’s golf entered the NCAA Columbus Regional needing a top-five finish to extend its season and return to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2023.

The Ducks gave themselves a chance after a steadier second round, but a rough finish Monday and a difficult start Wednesday proved too much to overcome. Oregon finished ninth in the 13-team field at the Columbus Regional, ending its 2025-26 season. Florida, the No.

2 national seed, controlled the regional from start to finish and won by 24 strokes. Stanford, Memphis, Arizona State and Florida State rounded out the five teams that advanced to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California. Round One: A promising start slips away late Oregon opened Monday on the back nine and appeared to settle in quickly.

The Ducks played their first seven holes at just 1-over as a team, with sophomore Ramil Saelim at 1-under and senior Aiden Krafft at even par during that stretch. Then the front nine got hold of them. Firm conditions and wind made scoring tougher as the round progressed, and Oregon added nine strokes over its final five holes.
