The Field: The Pac-10 is arguably the top conference in the nation in the sport of men's golf. UCLA (#3), USC (#5) and Stanford (#11) are all ranked in the top 11 nationally (according to Golfweek/Sagarin index) while Arizona State (#20), Oregon State (#45) and Oregon (#50) are all rated in the top-50. Cal's ranking (#57) may not be as high, but taking into account its play in the spring shows the potency of the Golden Bear lineup (rankings factor in the full year of scores). Arizona, Washington and Washington State round out the competitive field.
