The Arizona menās golf team continued what has been a disappointing season with a seventh-place finish at the Pacific 10 Conference Menās Golf Championships last weekend in Corvallis, Ore.

A final-round team score of 18-over-par dropped the Wildcats to seventh after the team entered the final day of play in fifth place.

None of the six UA golfers participating could break par in the final round, and only junior Ricky Barnes managed to finish under par for the tournament. Barnes, the defending Pac-10 individual champion, came into the clubhouse with a score of 1-under-par 287, three strokes behind this yearās winner, Stanfordās Jim Seki.

UA sophomore Chris Nallen, one of the teamās most consistent players this season, finished tied for 19th at 5-over-par 293. Freshman Andy Connell followed in 29th, while junior Reid Hatley was the only other Wildcat in the top 50 in 35th place.

The Wildcats finished ahead of only California, Arizona State and Oregon State in the match. Southern California ran away with the team title, finishing play 15 strokes ahead of the nearest competitor at 1-over-par. Stanford came in second at 16-over-par, while Oregon State put in a strong showing on its home course of Trying Tree Golf Club to finish third at 18-over-par.

Arizona will have more than two weeks to prepare for its next action, the 2002 NCAA West Regionals in Albuquerque, N.M., which begin May 16.
