Washington’s hopes for a national championship were detrailed,
for the second straight year, in the quarterfinals of match
play.
Oregon beat the Huskies 3-and-2 earlier today on The Honors Course
at Chattanooga, Tenn.
It came down to the 18th hole with the final pairing. Oregon
sophomore Eugene Wong won 1 up over Nick Taylor, who missed an
18-foot birdie try that would have sent the match to extra
holes.
Washington was coming off wins in the Pac-10 tournament and NCAA
West Regionals, which were held at Gold Mountain.
Kelly Fires 67: Troy Kelly finished with five
straight birdies today to shoot a 4-under 67 at the Melwood Prince
George’s County Open, a Nationwide Tour event on the University of
Maryland Golf Course. He’s at 2-under 140 for the tournament and
tied for 53rd, which is on the cut line right now.
Kelly Update: He’s now tied for 63rd and it looks
like he’ll miss the cut by a stroke.
