Second round of NCAA championship
Parker loses to Pac-10 champion
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -Who
would be so bold to stand inside
the baseline while expecting n
first serve from Georgia’s A1
Parker?
Jason Netter.
. The UCLA junior met Parker’s
rocket first serves on the rise
from inside the baseline which
enabled him to upset the fifth-
ranked Parker 4 6, 6-2, 6-3 in the
second round of the NCAA
Tennis Championships.
"My return is one of my
strengths and I hit it much better
when I hit it on the rise,” said
Netter, the 1990 Pac-10 singles
champion.
“On some big points, I’d hit

some pretty good serves and he
wns catching it right off the bo
unce," Parker said. ‘He really
rushed me with his returns."
Netter broke Georgia’s No. 1
player three successive times in
the final set before holding serve
for the first time in his last three
tries to close out the match.
On serve, Netter was also able
to successfully manipulate
Parker from comer to corner. The
Beverly Hills native would start
off points by drawing Parker off
the court with wide serves,
opening up the court.
‘That was his plan,” Parker
said. “He tried to get me off the
court and rushed me back into
the other side. He tried to make
me move a lot.”
“Al is a good player and I just
thought if I could wear him down
and move him, I’d have a
chance,” Netter said.
Netter avenged a 6-2, 6-0 first
round loss to Parker in last year’s
NCAAs in Athens.
“He played very well and just
beat me,” Parker said. There
may have been some things I
could have done with my own
game that may have made a dif
ference, but he played very well
and deserved to win.”
The day was not a total loss for
Parker, however. The junior ad
vanced in doubles play alongside
Murphy Jensen. The Georgia
tandem advanced into the second
round of doubles play, defeating
Joby Foley and Brad Kelly of
West Virginia 6-2, 7-5.
Parker and Jensen take on
Owen Casey and J.L. Guillou of
Clemson today in the second
round.
NCAA NET NOTES: Todd
Martin of Northwestern and Jon
athan Stark of Stanford, the top
two respective seeds in the sin
gles tournament, advanced easily
into third round play. Martin
bested South Carolina’s Lou
Gloria 6-4, 6-2, while Martin de
feated Mnrk Jeffrey of Missis
sippi St. 6-2, 6-0.

No. 10 Lady Dogs fall to last place
1990 NCAA
Women's
Golf Tournament
By TREVOR PADGETT
Sports Editor
For the second straight day, the
course at Arthur Mill Country
Club reached up and grabbed the
Georgia women’s golf team.
The No. 10 Lady Dogs shot a
second-round 324 Thursday at the
NCAA women’s golf
championships on Hilton Head Is
land to fall into last place with two
rounds remaining.
“It's definitely disappointing be
cause we haven't played this poorly
all year,” Georgia coach Beans
Kelly said from Hilton Head fol
lowing Thursday’s round. “We’re
trying not to let it get us down, but
the reality is we’re in last place.”
Georgia’s two-round total of 654
puts them 50 strokes behind leader
Arizona State, but Kentucky’s
second-round charge gives the
team some encouragement. The
Wildcats were in last (17th) after
the first round, but scorched the
course for a 306 on Thursday to
jump up five places.
“We’re on the bottom rung and
the only way to go is up,” said Jill
Kinloch, who shot a 77 to pace the
Lady Dogs for the second straight
day. “Just look at what Kentucky
did.”
What Kentucky did was what
Georgia did not.
“(Thursday) was going to be the
day for our strong charge,” said
Kelly Kluska, who fired an 83
Thursday. “But it didn’t happen."
And the main reason why the
charge didn't happen was the
course, according to Kluska.
“Every hole requires so much,”
the sophomore from Arkansas said.
“You can’t take a hole and rest.”
Kinloch also thinks the course is
“tough,” but the Scotland native
believes it is the Lady Dogs’ reac
tion to the course that has been
their source of trouble.
“I think the team is thinking too
much on the course," the senior
said. “You begin worrying about
not hitting the ball well rather
than just hitting it.”
Kinloch feels like she has been
more successful than the others be
cause she “decided to enjoy her last
tournament no matter what.”
Also figuring into the team’s
poor showing could be mental and
physical fatigue. The fact that the
team is playing in its fifth tourna-
ment in seven weeks has taken its
toll, Kluska and Kinloch said.
But their coach dismisses that
as a poor excuse.
“We finished first three times
and second once in the four tourna
ments before the NCAAs,” Kelly
said. “We are just struggling all at
the same time for the first time
this year, which is unfortunate."
Golf Dogs 7th after opening round
Claxton fires
first-round 69
By TREVOR PADGETT

As odd it sounds, the Georgia
men’s golf team looks forward to
getting up early this morning.
Figuring to improve on its 285
team score yesterday in the
opening round of the NCAA Re
gional Qualifier in Savannah, the
No. 9 Golf Dogs tee off at xx a.m.
hoping to capitalize on the morning
advantage.
‘The greens aren’t as spiked up
and the winds aren’t nearly as bad,
so it makes playing a little easier,”
said Paul Claxton, whose 69 paced
the Dogs and put him in eighth
place individually.
Franklin Langham fired a 70 to
tie him for 16th, while Bill Brown
and Antonio Barcellos shot 73s.
Neal Hendee, who brought up
the rear for the Dogs with a re
spectable 79, said the Thursday
morning teams had a bit of an ad-

vantage over those who teed off
later.
‘The winds began to pick up
around noon, right about the time
our first guy teed off’ said Hendee.
“I think the course played a bit
easier for the teams that played in
the morning.”
Auburn and Miami, who each
played in the morning, are tied for
first at 279. The Dogs’ 285 places
