Rebels fall to ninth in Arizona tournament

Tuesday, April 1, 2003 | 9:21 a.m.

Despite matching its first round 297, the UNLV men's golf team slipped into a tie for ninth place after second-round play Monday at the National Invitation Tournament in Tucson, Ariz.

UNLV was not the only team to struggle on the second day at Tucson National Golf Course (Par 72, 7,094 yards), but none of the 14 teams in the field improved as much as host Arizona. The Wildcats blistered the course for a 10-under 278 and carry an eight-stroke lead into today's final round.

Aside from the team's struggles, freshman Ryan Keeney continued his hot play in his collegiate debut. Keeney followed Sunday's 73 with a two-under 70 and climbed into a tie for fifth place overall at one-under. He trails co-leaders Ricky Barnes from Arizona and David Schultz from TCU.
