The Wildcats stand at 20-over-par after two rounds of play, trailing tournament leader UCLA by 14 shots.

UCLA, playing on its home course at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, Calif., assumed the day one lead after posting two rounds better than any single round by the other teams in the field. Standing at 6-over par, the Bruins lead second-place Stanford by seven shots. Washington is third at 17-over-par, while Arizona and Arizona State round out the top five.
