HEAD COACH - DEREK FREEMANHEAD COACH - DEREK FREEMAN

DEREK FREEMANHEAD COACH • 8TH YEAR • (OKLAHOMA ’94)

Entering his eighth season, Derek Freeman has created a list of accomplishments that few other UCLA golf coaches can match.

He guided the Bruins to their second NCAA team title in 2008, mentored the only NCAA individual champion in UCLA history and has tutored two Jack Nicklaus Award winners and one Hogan Award recipient. Last year, Freeman guided an inexpe-rienced team to the match play draw of the NCAA Championship. Th e Bruins secured the fi fth and fi nal spot at the San Antonio Regional, and on the fi nal day of stroke play at the NCAA Championship, they made several clutch putts down the stretch to nail down sixth place and advance. Freeman also led the Bruins to a late-season victory at the Redhawk Invitational. Individually, sophomores Jonathan Garrick and Lorens Chan earned GCAA All-America Honorable Mention honors as well as Second-Team All-Pac-12 acclaim. In addition, junior Preston Valder won the Cal State San Marcos Fall Classic with a score of 205 (-11). In the classroom fi ve players — Valder, Chan, senior Anton Arboleda and juniors Jay Hwang and Matt Pinizzotto — were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team. In 2012-13, Freeman guided the Bruins to their 11th consecutive NCAA Champion-ship berth after capturing the Tempe Regional, UCLA’s third regional title during his tenure. Th e Bruins won three additional tournaments during the regular season: the Stanford Clas-sic match play crown at Cypress Point GC in October, the Giff ord Collegiate Championship in November and the Amer Ari Invitational in February. Individually, four players won fi ve in-dividual titles: senior Pontus Widegren won the Cal State San Marcos Fall event with an 18-under par score of 198; senior Pedro Figueiredo won Th e Prestige and the Western Intercollegiate in the Spring; Garrick won the Cal Poly Invitational in the Fall and rookie Jake Knapp won the Cal State San Marcos Spring

Invitational in February. In addition, Widegren’s 70.4 scoring average set a single season school record. He also played 31 rounds in 14-under par and led the team with a counter ratio of 96%. In the classroom, the Bruins continued to shine under Freeman’s leadership. Figueiredo earned GCAA Scholar All-America honors for the second straight season, and he was joined on the All-Pac-12 Academic Team by seniors Bobby Lange and Widegren, Arboleda, and sophomores Manav Shah, Hwang, Pinizzotto and Valder. Th ree years ago, the Bruins advanced to the NCAA Championship after placing third at the NCAA Regionals. During the season, UCLA won a pair of tournaments: the U.S. Collegiate Championship and the Del Walker Collegiate Match Play Championship. Sophomore Patrick Cantlay played in four professional tournaments as a amateur while retaining his world No. 1 ranking. Figueiredo won his fi rst collegiate title and teammate Mario Clemens added his second. In 13 varsity starts, the Bruins recorded nine podium fi nishes, including three runner-up results. Cantlay and Figueiredo earned Second-Team GCAA All-America honors and First-Team All-Pac-12 laurels. In addition, Cantlay became the fi rst golfer in UCLA history to receive the Hogan Award and the fi rst to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. Finally, Figueiredo earned First-Team All-Pac-12 Aca-demic honors and GCAA Scholar All-America acclaim. In 2011, Freeman guided the Bruins to four tournament victories, including an NCAA Regional championship. As a freshman Cantlay won the NCAA West Regional individual title with a 54-hole total of 13-under par. He earned consensus First-Team All-America honors, the Nicklaus Award and the Phil Mickelson Award as the nation’s top freshman. He was also chosen as the Pac-10’s Freshman and Player of the Year. In 2010-11 junior Gregor Main and Wide-gren also earned All-America and all-conference

honors. In addition, both players landed on the Director’s Honor Roll during the season. Finally, Alex Shi Yup Kim was selected as an All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention Team member. Overall at UCLA, Freeman has coached 11 players who have earned 15 All-America certifi cates. He has tutored a pair of Nicklaus Award winners, one Mickelson Award recipient and one Hogan Award winner. In addition to coaching Chappell, who won the NCAA individual title, he has coached two players who have won NCAA Regional crowns. Overall, 11 players have won 18 individual tournament titles under his watch. Two players — Chappell and Cantlay — have been named Pac-10 Player of the Year under his direction and two have earned Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. Th irteen players have received 23 all-conference certifi cates. In 2009-10, Freeman’s team entered the NCAA Championship with the youngest lineup in the tournament. He led the Bruins to a 16th place fi nish, a fi nal ranking of ninth in the national poll and two team victories. Two players earned All-America honorable mention honors from the coaches association and four players earned All-Pac-10 acclaim. In addition, Kim emerged as one of the most improved players in the country vaulting from 438th in the rankings his freshman year to 41st as a sophomore. In 2008-09, despite the loss of three talented players during the season, Freeman managed to guide the Bruins to their seventh straight NCAA Championship berth. He also guided UCLA to its third NCAA Regional title in program history. In addition, Main was voted Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and senior Erik Flores became the only player in school history to earn First-Team All-Pac-10 honors three times. Flores also earned All-America honors for the third time in his career. Th e Bruins won the 2008 NCAA title by one stroke over defend-ing champion Stanford at Purdue’s Kampen Course on the last day of May. A key par by Chappell on the 72nd hole clinched the victory, but it was Chappell’s bogey save from a disastrous lie at the 71st hole that enabled the Bruins to maintain a slim lead. Freeman kept his star player level-headed and positive, and coaxed his other senior — Craig Leslie — into playing the fi nal three holes in one-under par to win the title. In the succeeding days, Chappell collected some awards that had UCLA historians creating new mantle space. He became the fi rst UCLA golfer in the 75-year history of the program to win the NCAA individual championship and the Nicklaus award. He also became just the third player in school history to earn consensus fi rst-team All-America honors. A month before the season ended, Chappell became the sixth UCLA player to earn Pac-10 Golfer of the Year honors. Freeman claimed one other All-American — Flores, who also won his fi rst collegiate individual title. In addition, both Chappell and Flores were selected First-Team All-Pac-10. A former all-conference golfer at the University of Oklahoma, Freeman made an immediate impact on the UCLA program soon after his appointment on July 16, 2007. Th rough the 2007 fall campaign, the Bruins did not lose a tourna-ment, winning the Big Ten/Pac-10 Challenge, the Collegiate Match Play Championship and the CordeValle Collegiate. Th e Bruins fi nished his fi rst half season ranked No.2 in the nation. In 2007-08, the Bruins won fi ve tournaments, a fi gure that ranks fi fth in school history. UCLA also won its fi rst-ever Collegiate Match Play Championship. In that event, Chappell and freshman Philip Francis posted records of 4-0-0. During the season, four players won fi ve individual tournament titles, including Chappell who won twice and ended the season 20-under par through 34 rounds. Chappell also set a single season school record at the time by averaging 71.0 strokes per round and ended his career ranked fi fth in school history with fi ve career victories. Finally, he was the only player under par at the 2008 NCAA Tournament. In his fi rst year, 2006-07, as the Bruins’ assistant coach, Freeman coached the UCLA Blue Team, which won the Cougar Invitational and and the Cal State Bakersfi eld Spring Invitational. 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 capturing medalist honors at 14-under par. Nine 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 Free-man’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 14 combined 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 their 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 and 2005). 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 aca-demic 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 Cham-pionships, including the 1992 event in which the Sooners won their fi rst-ever league 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.

Brandon Christianson (UCLA ‘09) was named the Bruins’ assistant coach on Aug. 9, 2012. He begins his third season as the Bruins’ full-time assistant coach under Derek Freeman. After earning four varsity let-ters for the Bruins from 2005-08, Christianson served one season as the Bruins’ Undergraduate As-sistant Coach while completing his degree in History in 2009. He returned to Westwood after work-

ing on the PGA Tour as a caddie for three years (2010-12), most recently with UCLA alumnus Kevin Chappell. “We’re very fortunate to have Brandon as our full-time assistant coach,” said Freeman. “His experience caddying for Kevin Chappell and Jason Gore is exactly the type of on-course expertise from which our players can benefi t. “Also, as a UCLA golf alumnus, he knows precisely what we expect from our student-athletes both on and off the course,” Freeman continued. “And, having been a member of a national as championship team, he realizes the tremendous amount of dedication required to achieve that goal.”

Th rough 2014, UCLA has advanced to the NCAA Tournament 46 times, 33 by a team. In 1988, the Bruins captured their fi rst NCAA golf title and in 2008 they won their second. Currently, UCLA has qualifi ed 12 consecutive years for the NCAA Championship, a school record. 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 NCAA golf team championship at North Ranch Country Club in Th ousand Oaks, CA. On the fi nal day of the tournament, 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 championship by three shots over Texas-El Paso. Th e Bruins’ Brandt Jobe fired a final 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.

Senior Kevin Chappell made a par on the 18th hole to give UCLA a one-shot victory on May 31, 2008 at the 111th NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, hosted by Purdue at its Kampen Course

in West Lafayette, Ind.Chappell won the individual title and led the fourth-ranked Bruins to their fi rst men’s golf title since 1988. He fi nished at 2-under 286 and was the only player in the fi eld under par for the event. He became the fi rst UCLA player to win NCAA medalist honors.“Th e feeling I have right now is better than anything,” said Chap-pell. “To win individually is great, but it becomes even more special because the team also won. I can’t say enough about this team. All season long we’ve always been there to pick each other up and that’s what championship teams do.”In the third round, Chappell made a round-saving bogey from knee-high rough at the 18th hole. Th at score helped him post a cool 68 (-4) and assume fi rst place entering the fi nal round. At the time, he called it “the best bogey of my life.” He amended that statement on May 31 with a bogey that preserved the Bruins’ national championship.At the 71st hole, a 230-yard par 3 over water, Chappell dumped his tee shot in the hazard. His third shot from the drop area skirted 22 paces past the hole -- almost a certain double-bogey.“I knew he could get it up and down from there,” said Head Coach Derek Freeman. “I fi gured we’d take [a] fi ve and move on to 18.”Th e two-time All-American chipped it in.“Th at was the best bogey of my entire life,” he said.Chappell had struggled most of the week at the 18th. In the second round, he came to the brutish 484-yard par 4 at one-under par. A double-bogey gave him a 73 (+1). His bogey there in the third round prevented him from carding a 67 (-5).And in the fi nal round, he knew a par would preserve the Bruins’ precarious one-shot lead and their championship dreams. His tee shot found the fairway, leaving him 189 yards to the green. His second shot landed 20 feet above the hole. He barely missed making a birdie, but tapped in for par before the entire UCLA entourage charged the green to embrace their senior leader.“Th is is huge for our school which prides itself on national champion-ships,” said Freeman. “Now, I want to fi gure out how to get better because I sure like this feeling.”Senior Craig Leslie’s birdies at the 16th and 18th holes proved crucial to the Bruins’ title hopes, as well as key par saves on the fi nal holes by junior Erik Flores and freshman Philip Francis.Th e championship was the third won by the Bruins in the month of May, 2008. On Mother’s Day the women’s water polo team won its fourth consecutive national championship, and on May 20, the women’s tennis team won its fi rst team title. Th ese three titles gave UCLA a total of 103, a national leader.For complete scores, please see next page.

FRIENDS OF GOLF

The Friends of Golf (FOG) organization has been a fi xture of fi nancial support for the UCLA golf programs and collegiate and youth golf nationwide for more than four decades. Th e origins of this group come from UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame golf coach Eddie

Merrins, who served as Bel Air’s head professional for more than 50 years. Under his active leader-ship, the UCLA golf program has developed into one of the most successful in the country. To increase funding for the UCLA golf programs, Merrins pioneered the FOG organization to aid in fundraising activities for college and youth golf. FOG was incorporated in 1981 as a non-profi t organization and has drawn enthusiasm 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 Pi-tino, David Wolper and Richard Crenna distinguished the tour-nament in 1991. Highlighting the 10th annual tournament was the legendary Jack Nick-laus. Each year, FOG honors a member of the PGA Tour, which has enabled Friends of Golf to endow the Golf Scholarship Fund at UCLA. The 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:

DAN GUERREROATHLETIC DIRECTOR • UCLA ’74 • 13TH YEAR

CHRIS CARLSON

ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR • UC SANTA BARBARA ‘93 • 1ST YEAR

In 12 years, Dan Guerrero has clearly established a pattern of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA has won 112 NCAA team championships, a fi gure unmatched by any institution in the nation. UCLA teams have won 26 NCAA championships since his appointment, another national leader, fi nished second 23 times and have enjoyed an additional 46 Top Five fi nishes. More than 80% of UCLA teams have qualifi ed for NCAA post-season competition since 2002. Th e football team has appeared in 11 bowl games and

the men’s basketball team advanced to consecutive Final Fours from 2006-08. Th e program has also won 56 conference championships in 15 diff erent sports, produced over 600 All-Americans and featured six Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Furthermore, during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, 32 Bruins participated as athletes or coaches, representing the United States and eight other nations. Th ey won nine medals, including six golds. In 2013-14, UCLA won NCAA team championships in women’s soccer and women’s tennis. For women’s soccer, it was the program’s fi rst national title; for women’s tennis it was the Bruins’ second. Overall, UCLA has won NCAA championships in 18 diff erent sports. Four other UCLA tems fi nished among the Top 5 nationally last year: women’s water polo (2nd), women’s golf (3rd), men’s tennis (T-3rd) and men’s golf (T-5th). Additionally, the football team posted a 10-3 record after winning the Hyundai Sun Bowl and defeated USC for the second straight year. Th e men’s basketball team won 28 games and the Pac-12 Tourna-ment title before advancing to the “Sweet 16” under fi rst-year coach Steve Alford. During Guerrero’s tenure, UCLA teams have captured the following NCAA team titles: six in women’s water polo, three each in women’s softball and women’s gymnastics, two in men’s water polo, women’s golf and women’s tennis, and one each men’s tennis, men’s volleyball, women’s volleyball, men’s golf, men’s soc-cer, women’s soccer, women’s outdoor track and baseball. In addition, the Bruins have recorded 36 national podium fi nishes in that span. Under Guerrero’s guidance, UCLA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) continues to climb. Over the past 12 months, UCLA boasted an 87% overall GSR among student-athletes, second-highest in the Pac-12. In addition, over the past 12 years (36 quarters) more than 7,700 student-athletes have earned distinction on the Director’s Honor Roll. Finally, fi ve teams (men’s and women’s tennis, women’s basketball, softball and women’s water polo) achieved a GSR of 100%. Guerrero received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base for the Bruins for four years. He is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two grown daughters: Jenna and Katie.
