Junction City, Ore. - The Pacific golfers completed the first two rounds of the Oregon Duck Invitational today at Shadow Hills Country Club. The Tigers shot a 294-309=603 to finish the first day tied for ninth place.

Sophomore Chris Rosenau and freshman Adam Beckman fired 36-hole scores of 150 to finish day one tied for 41st. Junior Thomas Petersson shot a 74-77=151 to end up in 45th entering the final round at the 6,807-yard, par-72 course. Freshman Charles Van Sicklen carded a 75-77=152 for Pacific and Reid Scarff, playing in his first tournament of the 2005-06 season shot a 75-80=155 for 59th place.

"We went out this morning (in round one) and played good golf. Everyone was a stroke or two strokes away from par and we were hanging in there," said head coach Brandon Goethals. "But in the afternoon our low score was a 77; and you just can't do that at this level. We're going to go out tomorrow and just try to improve."

22nd ranked San Diego State leads all teams with a 10-under 278, a seven stroke lead over Oregon State. Ryan Witz of Washington State leads the individual charge at the Invitational, shooting a 68-71. Tuesday's final round will begin at 8:00 am.
