In the end, it wasn’t much of a contest.

No matter how they got it done, though, the No. 2 ranked Oregon Ducks women’s golf team walked away from the Eugene Country Club with the first Pac-12 Championship victory in program history.

As poor weather rolled through the Willamette Valley throughout the week, the Oregon players stayed their course and battled through the rain and wind, ultimately taking advantage of the “Duck weather” that caused other teams in the pack to fade on the final day of the tournament.

On Wednesday, the Ducks turned in a 290 (+2) to end the tournament at +6, which was seven shots clear of the next closest finisher.

It was Hsin-Yu (Cynthia) Lu who led the way for the Ducks after another remarkable performance on Wednesday. Lu finished with an even-par 72, tied for Oregon’s best round on the day, to complete the tournament with an individual score of 210 (-6), which was the best in the tournament. Stanford’s Rose Zhang came in 2nd with 214 (-2).

While Oregon took the title on their home course, it was Oregon State and Stanford who split second-place at 877 (+13).

Up next, the Ducks will partake in one of six NCAA regionals, where they will look to advance to the NCAA Championships. The regionals take place on May 9-11.
