2 2007-08 UCLA MEN’S GOLF

SEASON OUTLOOK

First-year Head Coach Derek Freeman could not have asked for a better Fall season: three victories in three events, the No.2 ranking and a recruiting class judged No.2 in the country by

GolfWeek. However, like all UCLA coaches, Freeman’s focus remains in front and not behind. “Although we had a great Fall season, we understand that there is a lot of work to do,” he said “Our goal this off season was to uncover our weaknesses and to work diligently to improve.” Th e 2007-08 edition of UCLA men’s golf has something for everyone: plenty of talent, experience, depth and enthusiasm. It also possesses a winning attitude as evidenced by its three victories and its eagerness to make a statement. With a combination of competitive fi re and leadership, the Bruins expect to make a serious run for the NCAA championship. Following are capsule summaries of the Bruins’ personnel by eligibility:

SENIORS

Th e Bruins boast a trio of three-year lettermen in Kevin Chappell, Brandon Christianson and Craig Leslie. All of these golfers have made at least 24 starts and each has played more than 60 career rounds. Last season Chappell earned All-America honors, winning twice and completing the season with eight straight Top 20 fi nishes. He also led the team in scoring average (71.5), Top 10 (8) and Top 20 (11) fi nishes. “Kevin is our senior captain and strongest leader,” said Freeman. “He’s what every coach needs on a championship team: a leader, a hard worker and a motivator. Expect for him to have an opportunity to win every week.” Overall, Chappell boasts three career collegiate victories, a 72.1 scoring average, 15 Top 10 and 23 Top 20 fi nishes — totals that have improved every year. “It’s easy to see why he has played the best recently — he works harder than anyone else,” Freeman continued. “He pushes each of our guys by demonstrating what it takes to be an All-American.” In the Fall, Chappell placed second at the Big Ten/Pac-10 Chal-

lenge and tied for fourth at the CordeValle Col-legiate, continuing his streak of Top 20 fi nishes to 10 over two seasons. He was four-under par through six rounds with a scoring average of 71.2, a team leader. Leslie burst into the Fall season as a member of the Gold Team and recorded a pair of Top 20 results, tying for third at the Big Ten/Pac-10 event and tying for 16th at CordeValle. His scoring average of 72.1 ranked second on the team and he was one-over par through six rounds. He also recorded three rounds under par — tied for the team lead — and a 69 (-3) in the second round at CordeValle. “Craig had his best Fall since enrolling at UCLA,” said the head coach. “He has the ability to play without any distractions when he’s playing his best. He will be able to help this team.” Last season, Leslie played in six Gold Team events and recorded three fi nishes in the Top 25. At the Pac-10 Championship, he tied for 46th. Overall in 31 rounds, he averaged 73.9 with fi ve Top 20 fi nishes. Christianson played in the second half

of the season last year and contributed three Top 20 results in just 12 rounds. He placed fi fth at the UC Riverside Braveheart event in his best performance of the season. “We have challenged Brandon to make sure [that] every aspect of his life is at the highest level, which will allow him to compete at UCLA,” said Freeman. “He is working hard on earning his degree, and competing for a position to play in his last year.” In his career, Christianson has made 24 starts and played 66 rounds. He has a career scoring average of 74.3 with 15 Top 20 results and nine rounds under par.

JUNIORS

All three juniors have earned a pair of varsity letters and each has played in either a Pac-10, NCAA Regional and NCAA Championship tournament. Two-year lettermen Erik Flores, Lucas Lee and James Lee each have made at least 18 starts and have played more than 50 rounds. Flores, who earned 2006 Second Team GCAA All-America honors, recorded a pair of Top 25 results in the Fall, tying for third at the Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge and tying for 25th at CordeValle. Most encouraging: three of his six rounds were under 70. “Erik had a much improved Fall season,” said Freeman. “He is close to where he was during his freshman year. He has as much talent as anyone that plays the game. I look for Erik to jump into the winner’s circle this Spring.” Missing from Flores’ collegiate resume is a victory. As a fresh-man, he placed second four times and has recorded eight career Top 5 fi nishes. He entered this season with a career scoring average of 72.7 in 72 rounds with 16 rounds below 70 (22%), and 26 under par (36%). Both percentages are team leaders. “Erik has the ability to hit the ball a long way,” remarked Freeman. “Th e key to his success will be controlling his ball fl ight and hitting the correct distance.” In two seasons, Lucas Lee has proven himself to be a workhorse as well as an outstanding player. Overall, he has made 26 starts, played in 78 rounds and boasts a fi ne 72.4 career scoring average. He leads

Head Coach Derek Freeman (l) and senior Craig Leslie.


SEASON OUTLOOK

the team with four victories. As a sophomore, he enjoyed his best season, boasting a 71.7 scoring average, 16 rounds under par and seven Top 10 fi nishes. He won twice, his counter percentage rose to 91% and he was named a Second Team GCAA All-American. Th is Fall, distracted by his ambition to qualify for the PGA Tour, his scores suff ered. In six Fall rounds, he was 17-over par with one Top 20 result and one round under par. “Lucas had an All-American season last year, which led to a great summer,” said the head coach. “Th is Fall he did not play well trying to focus on the PGA Tour Qualifying School and UCLA’s schedule. His split focus led him to average play in both. Th at said, I really look forward to Lucas having a great Spring. He has the ability to score very low. He could win individually on any given week.” James Lee broke into the winner’s circle in the Fall with a victory at the CordeValle Collegiate. His fi rst round score of 65 (-7) was a collegiate career best and the tournament’s low round. Entering the season, he had made 18 starts and played in 55 rounds, averaging 74.0. Last season, in just 24 rounds, he matched his production from his freshman year in which he played 31 rounds. “James is now understanding that there is much more to golf than just hitting balls on the range,” said Freeman. “He has dedicated himself to his short game and it’s beginning to pay off .” With an accurate long game to complement his improving short game, Freeman expects Lee to add to his victory total in 2008.

SOPHOMORES

A veteran and a newcomer represent the sophomore class. Jason Kang earned a varsity letter last season by making 12 starts and playing in 38 rounds. He averaged 73.3 and played in all three championship segments of the schedule, tying for 14th at the Pac-10 Champion-ship. “Last year, Jason became one of our solid players in the lineup,” said Freeman. “During the off -season, he committed himself to work on all his weaknesses. He is very fundamentally sound; he just needs to enjoy some success to boost his confi dence.” Transfer Benjamin Choe is slowly working his way back into playing shape after suff ering some injuries near the end of his high school career two years ago. He struggled in the Fall, but Freeman is confi dent that the LaQuinta HS graduate will work hard to improve his game.

FRESHMEN

Both of the Bruins’ freshmen entered collegiate competition with plenty of junior experience, and each is expected to contribute signifi cantly to the team’s success. Philip Francis enrolled as one of the most heralded freshman golfers in UCLA history. As a junior player, he won more than 140 tournaments, including four consecutive Callaway Junior World titles and the 2006 U.S. Junior Amateur. He was ranked No.1 among junior players for 65 consecutive weeks and he was voted the 2006 AJGA Player of the Year. In the Fall, Francis tied for 13th at both of the Bruins’ stroke play tournaments, but burst onto the national scene with four straight match play victories in the Collegiate Match Play Championship, which UCLA won. “Philip has won at every level in which he has played, and it’s just a matter of time before he wins his fi rst collegiate event,” commented

Freeman. “He has unbelievable skill around the greens and he’s a great putter.” Connor Driscoll enjoyed a solid Fall, tying for ninth place as an individual competitor in the CordeValle Collegiate. His most impres-sive accomplishment, however, was qualifying for the Gold Team in the Bruins’ fi rst event, where he tied for 45th. “Connor is going to improve each time he plays,” off ered Free-man. “He played well at CordeValle, which shows his ability to learn and grow as he plays in each tournament.” At LaCosta Canyon High in Encinitas, Driscoll was a four-year letterman, two-time All-CIF Southern Section and all-league selection. With him in the lineup, the Monarchs won the league championship four straight seasons and they won the CIF title in 2007. As a junior player, he was ranked 18th by GolfWeek in 2006.

THE COACHING STAFF

DEREK FREEMANHEAD COACH • 1ST YEAR • (OKLAHOMA ’94)

Derek Freeman, a former all-conference golfer at the University of Oklahoma, began his fi rst season as UCLA’s head

men’s golf coach on July 16. He has made an immediate impact. Th rough the 2007 Fall campaign, the Bruins did not lose a tournament, winning the Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge, the Collegiate Match Play Championship and the CordeValle Collegiate. In the November signing period, Freeman inked the nation’s No. 2 ranked group of recruits as judged by GolfWeek. Finally, the Bruins fi nished his fi rst half season ranked No.2 in the nation. Last season in his fi rst year as the Bruins’ assistant coach, Freeman coached the UCLA Blue Team, which won the Cougar Invitational and and the Cal State Bakersfi eld Spring Invi-tational. Senior Chris Heintz won the Cougar event, and at the Bakersfi eld tournament, the Blue Team scorched the course for a score of 25-under par with sophomore Lucas Lee cap-turing medalist honors at 14-under par. Two years ago, Freeman spent the season as Oklahoma’s men’s assistant coach. In 2005-06, the Sooners fi nished 29th at the NCAA Championship after placing seventh in the NCAA Central Regional. Oklahoma also won its fi rst Big 12 Conference team title since Freeman’s sophomore year as all fi ve players fi nished among the Top 15 individuals. Prior to his appointment at OU, Freeman served the previous three seasons (2002-05) at Oklahoma City University. As an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s programs (2002-03), he helped lead OCU to a combined 15 tournament titles, including the men’s 2003 NAIA Championship.

Following the 2003 season, Freeman was promoted to head coach of the OCU women’s program and guided the Stars to a second straight runner-up fi nish at the NAIA Championship. In his second season, 2004-05, OCU captured the NAIA women’s national championship and Freeman was named the NAIA National Coach of the Year. Th e team set a championship record with a 49-stroke victory. In two seasons as the OCU women’s coach, Freeman mentored eight All-Americans and seven academic All-Americans. Twice he was voted the NAIA Region VI Women’s Golf Coach of the Year (2004-05). In four of his last fi ve seasons as a head coach or assistant, his teams won either a conference or national championship. As a player at OU, Freeman enjoyed a fi ne career, serving as the Sooners’ captain for three seasons (1992-94). During his collegiate career, he earned All-Big Eight honors in 1994

and All-Big Eight academic honors in 1993. Freeman was a two-time Bruce Drake Award winner for most improved player and won OU’s Jim Begwin Award for leadership and sportsmanship. Overall, Freeman played in four Big Eight Conference Championships, including the 1992 event in which the Sooners won their fi rst-ever league golf title. He also participated in four NCAA Regional events and four NCAA Championship tournaments. Of his 51 col-legiate appearances, he fi nished in the Top 30 25 times. He received his degree in Economics from OU in 1994 and later played two years on the Canadian, Mexican and Nike Tours. A rib injury forced him to change careers, and he worked in the fi nancial services industry for fi ve years prior to entering the coaching ranks. Freeman, his wife Stephenie and their two sons live in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Th e Bruins have qualifi ed for 19 of the last 30 NCAA Championships. In 1988, the Bruins captured their fi rst NCAA golf title. Below is a list of UCLA’s year-by-year fi nishes since 1947.

1988 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY

In 1988, the Bruins won their fi rst and only NCAA golf team championship at North Ranch Country Club in Th ousand Oaks, CA. On the fi nal day of the tourna-ment, UCLA, 13 shots behind the leader, rallied for one of the great comebacks in NCAA golf history. Th e Bruins shot a one-under par 287 over the fi nal 18 holes to win the national champi-onship by three shots over Texas-El Paso. Th e Bruins’ Brandt Jobe fi red a fi nal round three-under par 69 to record a one-under par 72-hole score of 287 and fi nish in a tie for second place. Jobe’s fi nish was the best individual fi nish ever by a UCLA golfer in the NCAA Championship. Although no other Bruin fi nished among the Top 20, clutch performances, especially on the fi nal day, produced one of the most memorable championship moments in UCLA history. Below are the scores from the 1988 NCAA Championships.1988 Team score: 1,176. Individuals: Brandt Jobe, 2nd tie (72-73-73-69 — 287); Bobby Lasken, 26th tie (74-71-75-75 — 295); Tim Cruikshank, 31st (79-73-73-71 — 296); Kevin Leach, 43rd (76-78-72-72 — 298); Rich Greenwood, 85th (82-79-77-77 — 315).

FRIENDS OF GOLF

The Friends of Golf (FOG) organization has been a fi xture of fi nancial support for the UCLA golf program and col-

legiate and youth golf nationwide for the last three decades. Th e origins of this group come from former UCLA head golf coach Eddie Merrins, who served as Bel Air’s head professional for nearly 40 years. Under his active leadership, the UCLA golf program has developed into one of the most successful in the country. To implement that program, Merrins pioneered the FOG organization to aid in fundraising activities for college and youth golf programs. FOG was incorporated in 1981 as a non-profi t organization and has drawn enthu-siasm from many prominent professionals in the business and sports communities. Th e annual FOG event is highlighted by an elaborate golf tournament and dinner held at Bel Air Country Club. Luminaries such as Dinah Shore, Digger Phelps, Rick Pitino, David Wolper and Richard Crenna distinguished the tournament in 1991. Highlighting the 10th annual tournament was the legendary Jack Nicklaus. Each year, FOG honors a member of the PGA Tour, which has enabled Friends of Golf to endow the Golf Scholarship Fund at UCLA. Th e late, legendary golfer Byron Nelson called the annual FOG event, “Th e best one-day golf tournament in the country.” At right is a list of the past honorees:

2007 — Steve Pate, Kathy Whitworth, 2006 — Gene Littler, John Wooden, Duff y Waldorf2005 — Al Geiberger, Dave Stockson Scott Simpson2004 — FOG Founders2003 — Tommy Bolt, Bob Rosburg Duff y Waldorf2002 — Gary Player, Amy Alcott2001 — Billy Casper, Tony Jacklin2000 — Payne Stewart1999 — Fred Couples,, Corey Pavin1998 — Mark O’Meara1997 — Tom Lehman1996 — Jim Murray, Peter Jacobsen1995 — Sam Snead, Deane Beman1994 — Byron Nelson1993 — Ken Venturi1992 — Chi Chi Rodriguez1991 — Jack Nicklaus1990 — Hale Irwin1989 — Ben Crenshaw1988 — Greg Norman1987 — Arnold Palmer1986 — Byron Nelson1985 — Lee Trevino1984 — Raymond Floyd1983 — Ben Hogan1982 — Eddie Merrins

KEY ADMINISTRATORS

DAN GUERREROATHLETIC DIRECTOR • UCLA ’74 • 6TH YEAR

GLENN TOTHSENIOR ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR • UCLA ’76 • 31ST YEAR

In fi ve years as UCLA’s Director of Athletics, Daniel G. Guer-rero has presided over 14 NCAA team titles, more than 30 conference championships, and will lead the year-long celebration of UCLA’s First to 100 campaign. A former Bruin baseball player, Guerrero exudes the pride of a student-athlete who is now calling the shots at his alma mater. Declar-ing his current position his dream job, his goal is to help each sport at

UCLA maximize its potential and contend for a national championship. Guerrero is serving his third year as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee and “Th e College Basketball Partnership,” a group that includes many of the most infl uential people in the sport. Last year, UCLA won its historic 100th NCAA team title when the women’s water polo squad defeated Stanford to capture its third consecutive national championship. Entering the 2007-08 academic year, 81% of UCLA’s teams had qualifi ed for post-season competition over the previous fi ve years. In addition, 268 student-athletes have earned All-America honors in their respective sports. In 2002-03, Guerrero earned numerous honors, including: 2002 UCLA Latino Alumnus of the Year (October); 2003 Cal State University Dominguez Hills Alumnus of the Year (March); and 2003 “Father of the Year” by the Father’s Day Council of the American Diabetes Assn. (June). He also became the fi rst athlete in any sport at Banning High School to have his jersey (No. 8 in baseball) retired, and on Sept. 10, 2002, the Los Angeles City Council honored him with Dan Guerrero Day. In addition, the May 5, 2003 issue of Sports Illustrated listed him No. 28 among the 101 Most Infl uential Minorities in Sports. He was one of 28 people whose photo was on that issue’s cover. He also served as a member of the NCAA Baseball Committee during the 2002-2003 year. Guerrero received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 after playing second base for the Bruins for four years. In 1982, he earned his Master’s degree from Cal State Dominguez Hills. He is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have adult two daughters.

Glenn Toth, who has served the athletic department as an admin-istrator for more than 30 years, enters his 11th year in charge of the golf and tennis programs. In addition to his role as a sports supervisor, Toth has also seen duty as an assistant coach, and serves as a member of athletic director Dan Guerrero’s senior staff . A senior associate athletic director with a variety of responsibilities, Toth serves as the liaison with shoe and apparel sponsor adidas, having

orchestrated both the original 1999 agreement and its renewal in 2005. Adidas supplies all Bruin teams, and represents the department’s most lucrative sponsorship. In addition, Toth was the point person in the negotiations with International Sports Properties (ISP) which now handles the department’s corporate relations, media rights and other external relationships. Toth also has administrative responsibility for the athletic equipment room, which features six full-time staff memebers, and the sports medicine area/athletic training room, which employs 14 full-time staff and a student program. Toth also supervises the speed, strength, and conditioning area and its six coaches. Toth graduated from UCLA in 1976 with a degree in economics and was hired shortly thereafter to work in the events and travel offi ce. From 1978-84, he supervised the management of home athletic events and team travel. In 1982, Toth handled the logistics of UCLA’s move to the Rose Bowl and at the same time became the athletic department’s fi rst marketing director. Promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 1984, he was credited with several award-winning football marketing campaigns and the creation of the department’s corporate relations program. A life-long golfer, Toth lettered in golf at Tustin’s Foothill HIgh School where he graduated in 1972. He enjoys scuba diving, hiking, and mountaineering, and also serves as a Reserve Captain with the LA County Sheriff ’s Department, managing the Search and Recovery Dive Team. His golden retrievers are Misty and Dottie.

THIS IS UCLA

UCLA is one of the world’s premier universi-ties. Thirty-one of its departments are ranked among the top 20 in their fi elds,

and thirteen of those departments are among the Top 10. UCLA is the engine for real-world advances in health care, science, education, commerce, culture, humanistic studies, social exploration, and com-munity service that enrich our neighborhoods, our nation, and our world on a daily basis. UCLA is a university with the size and scope to allow for unimagined diversity, unmatched breadth and depth of scholarship, and limitless possibility for its 24,000 undergraduates and 12,000 graduate students. A recent study noted that UCLA’s presence as a major employer, research institution and economic force generates more than $9 billion for the Southern California region alone.

FACULTY, STUDENTS & ALUMNIFive UCLA faculty have been awarded Nobel Prizes — the two most recent are Louis Ignarro in medicine (1998) and biochemist Paul Boyer in chemistry (1997). Among faculty there have been nine National Medals of Science recipients, and hundreds of Guggenheim Fel-lowships, Fulbright Awards and other academic distinctions. UCLA educates more students than any other university in California and was the most popular institution in the nation for this fall’s fresh-man class. At UCLA, thousands of students extend their educations beyond the classroom by working directly with faculty on research projects. Many UCLA undergraduates participate in major research studies, working one-on-one with world-renowned scholars as they discover and create new knowledge. UCLA’s alumni are bright stars on the world stage. They include leaders of industry and commerce — Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and Emmy winners; philanthropists and public servants; Olympians and professional athletes; educators, en-gineers, bankers, and astronauts. Founded in 1934, the UCLA Alumni Association serves 86,400 members with a comprehensive array of services, programs and activities.

BOOKS & TECHNOLOGY The UCLA Library is ranked among the top ten academic research libraries in North America with holdings of more than eight million volumes as well as digital resources and services. From the birth of the Internet at UCLA in 1969, the university continues to be a leader in resources for learning. UCLA is nationally recognized for developing ground-breaking computer services for undergraduates and was the fi rst university to offer a Web site for every undergraduate student. The university provides an innovative, on-line tool called “My.ucla.edu,” which provides a Web page tailored to each student’s academic needs.

OUTREACH & COMMUNITY SERVICE From its founding, UCLA has been an integral and contributing part of the greater Los Angeles community. Outreach programs and volunteerism are as much a part of UCLA as academics and research, with hundreds of UCLA-sponsored programs providing a wide range of opportunities. Many of UCLA’s undergraduates volunteer for these programs, including tutoring youngsters, adults and incarcerated youths; addressing health and educational needs of underserved communities; combating poverty and homelessness; aiding the elderly and disabled; and providing legal, social, medical and educational assistance to com-munity residents. Through outreach and academic preparation programs, UCLA works with K-12 schools throughout Los Angeles to help greater numbers of students prepare to compete successfully for college. UCLA also is partnering with community colleges to increase the number of underrepresented students transferring to the university. Additionally, UCLA faculty, researchers and students provide leadership and public service in health care, law, economic development, social welfare, urban planning, public policy, arts and the environment. Most academic departments have major research projects, fi eld studies or student internships that directly affect people’s lives in Los Angeles, the state and the nation.

HEALTH CARE Each year more than 450,000 patients from Southern California, the U.S. and around the globe come to the world-renowned UCLA Medical Center for treatment, while thousands more area residents receive care through Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Ortho-paedic Hospital, primary care offi ces and community outreach health programs. The four schools in the medical enterprise are medicine, dentistry, nursing and public health. UCLA Medical Center has been ranked as one of the top hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, including “Best in the West” for 17 consecutive years. A new state-of-the-art medical center, which includes the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsy-chiatric Hospital and Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA, is under construction and is scheduled to open in 2008. Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital renovations are scheduled for completion in phases in the coming months. Groundbreaking research is constantly taking place in the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Gonda (Goldschmied) Neuroscience and Genet-ics Research Center and in many other centers and laboratories on campus.

ARTS A diverse array of public arts programming makes UCLA the leading arts and cultural center of the West. More than 500,000 people annually attend arts events including theater, music, opera and dance performances, lectures, poetry readings, exhibitions, fi lm screenings, and media arts that are presented by UCLA’s two professional arts schools. Check the web sites at www.arts.ucla.edu and www.tft.ucla.edu for more information.

LIFELONG LEARNING Another prime example of UCLA’s connection with the commu-nity is through UCLA Extension, one of the nation’s largest divisions of continuing higher education, offering more than 4,500 courses each year In diverse fi elds of study. In addition, the university conducts guided walking tours and distributes self-guided tour maps. For further information, call (310) 825-8764 or check out UCLA on the Web at www.ucla.edu.

Powell Library is one of four original structures on campus dating to the early 1920s.
