The Oregon State men’s golf team put three players inside the top 10 Tuesday at the Oregon State Invitational at Trysting Tree Golf Club.
Stanley Lin led the way for the Beavers, finishing a career-best eighth. The senior from Clamath Falls kept his momentum going after winning the first tournament he played at Oregon State, taking medalist honors at the NCAA National Reserve Invitational in Coeur d’Alene. Lin closed with a 5-under 69 in the final round to finish at 5-under 211, his best result in a counting lineup spot at Oregon State.
Davis Hartwell tied for fifth at 4-under 212 after a final-round 3-under 69. It was the sophomore from Klamath Falls’ best result in a counting lineup spot at Oregon State.
As a team, the Beavers tied for third in the 12-team event. Oregon won with a score of 15-under 633 and Boise State was second at 620.
Oregon State and Eastern Washington both finished at 620, 10 shots under par.
The Beavers will next compete Oct. 12-13 at the Bryson Invitational in Miami, Fla.

Oregon State Suddenly Has A Secondary Problem Before A Crucial Home Game
Oregon State heads into Saturdays home game against San Diego State with a growing concern in the secondary, where cornerback Isaiah Houi is listed as questionable. With several other Beavers already dealing with injury-related availability issues, the possibility of Houi sitting would leave the defense stretched thin at a spot that cannot afford much margin for error at Reser Stadium.
The staffing issue has forced Oregon State to look for answers elsewhere, including moving safety Sailasa Vadrawale III into cornerback reps as a contingency. It is the kind of late-week shuffle that can ripple through a game plan, especially with a crucial matchup looming and both teams still sorting through updated injury reports before kickoff on October 10 in Corvallis.

Oregon State Has A Chance To Turn This Homecoming Into Something Bigger
Oregon State gets a familiar kind of chance this week, coming home after back-to-back road wins and a solid start to its Pac-12 schedule. The Beavers are 3-2 overall after opening conference play with a win over Colorado State, and head coach JaMarcus Shephard has made no secret of how much he welcomes the return to Corvallis after a stretch spent away from home.
San Diego State arrives at 2-3, bringing a defense that still has to be accounted for, especially with Djibril Abdou Rahman on the roster. For Oregon State, though, the broader interest goes beyond just the matchup. Freshman wide receiver Jesse Legree has already drawn attention with his place on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, a sign that the Beavers may have more than one reason to believe this homecoming could become something bigger.

Oregon State Could Catch San Diego State At The Perfect Time
Oregon State heads into its matchup with San Diego State with a chance to catch the Aztecs at an awkward moment. The roster is being thinned by injuries, the defense is still adjusting after losing most of its starters from last season, and the offensive side has not found much easy rhythm either. Quarterback Jayden Denegal has dealt with mechanical issues and a dip in confidence, which only adds pressure on a group already trying to settle in around him.
There is still some presence on the other side of the ball, especially with edge rusher Djibril Rahman emerging as a defensive leader, but the broader picture is one of uncertainty for San Diego State. For Oregon State, that matters because a team with this much instability can be vulnerable early, especially if the Beavers are able to push pace and make the Aztecs sort through problems on both offense and defense before they find any footing.
