San Diego State shot 22-over-par 310 and was in 16th place yesterday after the opening round of the NCAA Men's Division I Golf Championships at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.

Aaron Goldberg shot 2-over 74 to get into a tie for 10th place and lead the Aztecs.

He was followed by David Palm at 76, while Chad Moscovic recovered from a front-nine 44 to salvage an 80 on the demanding 7,450-yard Purdue Kampen Course.

Johan Carlsson also shot 80 and Matt Hoffenberg carded an 84.

The course was so tough that only three players broke par, led by UCLA's Kevin Chappell with a 69.

UCLA and USC topped the team standings at 9-over, followed by Oklahoma State at 10-over.

Earlier in the day, SDSU's Ryan Donovan was named the Southwest Region's Coach of the Year.

It was a first-time honor for Donovan, the Aztecs' fifth-year coach who is now among nine candidates to be chosen the National Coach of the Year.
