The No. 33 Oregon women’s golf team sits in sixth place overall after two rounds at the 25th annual Pacific-10 Conference Championships in Tempe, Ariz.
The Ducks entered the second day of competition tied with No. 7 Arizona after opening with a team score of 290 (2-over) on Sunday. On Monday, however, Oregon dropped 16 strokes from its first round total to finish at 18-over 306 in the team standings, 23 strokes behind front-runner No. 2 USC.
Individually, senior Erica Omlid paced the Ducks with a 3-over 75, which was a four-stroke drop after finishing 1-under 71 on Sunday. Omlid, a Thurston High School graduate, now sits in 14th in the individual standings.
Senior Kendra Little, junior Ashley Edwards and freshman Raphaela Dyer each carded 5-over 77 in the second round, while sophomore Cheyenne Hickle rounded out the Oregon scoring with a 6-over 78.
Edwards and Little ended the day in a five-way tie for 20th at 149 through two rounds of action, and Dyer sits in a three-way tie for 29th. Hickle finished day two in a tie for 34th.
Omlid is just six strokes behind individual leaders Tiffany Lua of UCLA and Sophia Popov of USC at 140 each. No. 7 Arizona and No. 24 Stanford are in a tie for second with team totals of 580.
