CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Pacific men's golf team finished the Oregon State Invitational with a 36-over-par 888 (292-298-298), positioning in 12th place of 14 teams Tuesday afternoon at Trysting Tree Golf Club. Host Oregon State earned the first-place finish in the tournament, posting a three-over 855.
 
"The team battled in today's weather conditions," said Pacific head coach John Cook. "It was definitely quite challenging."
 
Shooting a 14-over 298 in the final round, the Tigers and the rest of the field struggled against the challenging, windy conditions on the course as no team finished even-par or better. Despite those conditions, the Tigers placed two golfers in the top 35 of the player leaderboard and finished the tournament with the third-most birdies (37), trailing just Seattle and Oregon State.
 
Freshman Carlos Astiazaran paced the Tigers through the tournament, finishing the Oregon State Invitational in a tie for 19th place with a six-over 219 (70-72-77). For the second time this season, Astiazaran has placed in the top 20 of the player leaderboard.
 
Senior Petr Janik continued his steady play within the field, finishing in a tie for 32nd place with a nine-over 222 (72-72-78).
 
After the second day of the tournament, sophomore Timothy Jung moved up 12 spots to a tie for 54th place with a 12-over 225 (73-78-74). Jung led the Tigers with nine birdies.
 
In his season debut, sophomore Ian Fritz posted a 14-over 227 (77-76-74).
 
Fifth-year senior Maverick Pavletich rounded out the team scoring with an 18-over 231 (79-79-73). Pavletich recorded the team's best score in the third round with a two-over 73.
 
As an individual, freshman Samuel Pampling earned a 15-over 228 (79-75-74).
 
"We are looking forward to some warmer weather next week at our Pacific Invitational," said Cook. "We are excited for the opportunity to play in our own backyard next week."
