Sports_ Arizona takes Pac-10 championship Ky Dan Goulet CM the Emerald Victory shined on the University of Arizona's I<any Silveira twice Wednesday when he and his golf team raced away with the Pacific 10 Championship. The Wildcats hung close to tourney leader UCLA for three rounds before pouncing on them late to take a two-stroke victory on the sun-soaked Eugene Country Club course. Arizona rode to its fourth tournament win of the year on the swings of Silveira and Eric Meeks, who shot a 68 in the third round. "Silveira picker! us up the last nine, but it was Meeks who keyed the win for us." said Arizona coach Rick LaRose. After going one-over par for tin- first nine holes. Silveira broke loose to birdie four of the last six. including the decisive one at 18, to finish with a two-under 70, a one-stroke victory' over Arizona State's Jim Strickland and UCI.A’s David Rhorer. "I wasn't even thinking about winning the ti tle until 1 birdied 15.” Silveira said. “After 15. I knew 16 and 17 were easy.” However, those same easy holes looked more like graveyards to Strickland when he bogied both to relinquish the lead. Strickland and Rhorer, who sank a 25-foot birdie on hole 17 to draw within one of the lead, parred harmlessly on the final hole to give Silveira his third tournament win of the year. "I had bogie-froe golf in the third round, but gutted the ball around the course today. I feel for tunate to win. especially when I was sitting at one-over at the turn.” Silveira said. ASU had three golfers in the top five to draw even with UCIA for second place while Oregon remained a distant fourth — just three strokes ahead of USC. Following Silveira's four-day total of 289 were Strickland and Rhorer at 290; ASU’s Hill Mayfair. Greg Cesario and Oregon's Tony Joyner at 292. Joyner came into the final round just one shot off the lead, but he failed to capitalize on numerous birdie opportunities after shooting a three-over 75. "My magic putter turned to powder," he said. Sitting at five-over after seven holes. Joyner caught fire when he birdied the next three holes But with his brother. Shell, absent from the gallery, he was a shell of his former self that sank 27 putts the day before. Joyner blew eagle and bir die putts of less than 12 feet on five of the next six holes. "My stroke was a little jerky. I sank a bir die on 14. but that didn't make up for my slow start.” he said. Birdies were no problem for Silveira after ho sank five for the round. "My putting bought me the win.” he said. Silveira, who usually plays number one or two for the Wildcats, asked l.aRose to place him lower before the tournament. “Larry hasn't played well the last few tour PfctHn h, |ohn I.MIu Oregon's Tony joyner, si the 16th hole here, tied for third. (laments," latKose said “It mwiik that whoever plays number one for us finishes number two. This tournament we sacrificed l-arry Springer and let one of our other guys win it," he said Arizona holed its way to a NCAA berth; Oregon is hanging on the lip of the cup. "We’re still on a bubble," coach Scott Krieger said. We might lie a little better off since we beat USC, but it'll be about two weeks before we know anything." he said. Pro golfer and former Duck All-American Peter Jacobsen had high praise for his alma mater as he watched from the gallery. "We have some great kids out here; they handled themselves well this tournament." he said. "Obviously. I was looking forward to Oregon winning the whole deal. Down the road, when they start maturing, they’ll do great because they have so much talent with Kintoul, Hal Cochran, Krieger and Hol/.gang. Coach Krieger's done a fantastic job with these guys." Jacobsen said. Jello wrestling Dorm residents Brian Mulligan (behind) and Eric Could beat the heat Wednesday by wrestling in jello. Several dorm residents participated in the event.
