Golfers finish last at Stanford
■ The women’s golf team doesn’t recover after dropping to last
place on the second day of the Stanford/Pepsi Intercollegiate.
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
On the plane ride home from this
weekend’s tournament in Palo Alto,
Calif., the Oregon women’s golf team
might as well have played some Citi
zen King over the speakers.
“I’ve seen better days,” the song
“Better Days,” says. “And the bot
tom drops out.”
The bottom dropped out on the
Ducks this weekend, as they finished
18th of 18 teams at the Stanford/Pep
si intercollegiate in Palo Alto
The golfers were 16th after one
round, but dropped to 18th after a
second-round 321, the highest sin
gle-round score of the tournament
until Washington State matched it
on Sunday. Oregon followed its 321
performance with a 320 on Sunday,
and couldn’t catch the Cougars,
who finished six strokes ahead of
the Ducks in 17th.
The 18th-place finish was the
Ducks’ worst of the year. Oregon fin
ished 19th at the rain-shortened
NCAA Preview in September, but
the field was 21 teams there.
Top-ranked Arizona won the
tournament by six strokes over No.
3 Southern California, continuing
its unbeaten streak in complete
tournaments to an unprecedented
10 competitions. The Wildcats, last
season’s NCAA Champions, beat
out nine other top-25 teams to take
the title at the Stanford-Pepsi.
Arizona also beat heavy competi
tion from its Pacific-10 Conference
foes. Besides USC, No. 5 Stanford
finished third, Arizona State fin
ished seventh, UCLA finished
eighth and California finished 12th.
Tulsa’s Stacy Prammanasudh shot
six under par through the tourna
ment’s final two days to win the indi
vidual title at the Stanford/Pepsi,
beating Arizona’s Lorena Ochoa by
three strokes. Prammanasudh helped
her team to a fourth-place finish. Ari
zona had three players—Ochoa, Na
talie Gulbis and Cristina Baena—fin
ish in the top 10, while USC had two.
Oregon’s next tournament is the
Hawaii Fall Golf Classic in Oahu,
Hawaii, October 31-November 1.

The Wildcats were trailing by
four and had the ball at the Oregon
36-yard line. The game, and posses
sion of first place in the Pacific-10
Conference, was on the line.
Autzen Stadium was in a nervous
frenzy. Arizona quarterback Ortege
Jenkins acted with calm confi
dence.
It was the perfect offense versus
defense scenario.
First pass: Incomplete. Eighteen
seconds left.
Second pass: Incomplete. Eleven
seconds left.
Third pass: Incomplete. Two sec
onds left.
Fourth and final pass: A rainbow
heave that floated through the air
and fell crashing to the ground
when Oregon cornerback Ryan
Mitchell batted the ball down.
For those brief seconds when
Jenkins’ hail-Mary floated, every
one in the stadium held their
breath.
It was what college football is all
about.
“Our defense has been the back
bone and it was fitting that we were
on the field in the end,” Oregon de
fensive end Jason Nikolao said.
Yes, it would have been easier to
play and watch if Oregon had beat
en the Wildcats 52-17. But playing
in a hard-nosed defensive battle
where the game is always in doubt
is good for the team to experience.
Especially since there is one
game looming on the schedule that
is bound to be a nail-biting show
down: The Civil War Nov. 18.
With No. 18 Oregon State beating
UCLA on the road, it has become
clear that the road to Pasadena
comes through the state of Oregon.
But are any of the players letting
such rosy aspirations slip out of
their mouths and avoid their usual
“one game at a time” mantra?
Nikolao is.
“Right now I’m thinking about
uh... yeah, to tell you the truth, I’m
thinking about the Rose Bowl,” he
said. “I’m not gonna lie. Go get
your tickets and we’ll meet you
down there.”
The 1994 Oregon team that went
to the Rose Bowl has been hailed
as one of the greatest teams in
Duck history. That team also beat
Arizona at home, but guess what
the final score was?
A forgettable 10-9, Ducks.
See, a win is a win is a win.
