PAGE 10 ; l i ■Arizona leads the Pac-10 championships, but the Ducks’ eyes remain on the proverbial prize By Peter Hockaday for the Emerald The Pacific-10 Conference is one of the toughest golf confer ences in the country — but it’s also got a touch of inconsisten cy At the second round of the wide-open Pac-10 women’s golf championships at the Eugene Country Club Tuesday, every team except Stanford had a swing of at least five strokes from the first round. Most teams — including Oregon — improved their first round scores. “Today we were much more comfortable,” said Oregon head coach Renee Baumgartner.
