2 2008-09 UCLA WOMEN’S GOLF

SEASON OUTLOOK

With four stroke-play victories in four starts this fall, the 2008-09 UCLA Women’s Golf Team will be considered one of the favorites for the NCAA championship in 2009.

At the beginning of the fall season, the Bruins received the nation’s top ranking from GolfWeek and by early November they were the country’s consensus No.1 team.

Part of the reason is experience. UCLA returned its entire lineup from last year’s squad, which was the runner-up to for the title in 2008. Th at lineup represents 268 career rounds entering the 2008-09 season. Another reason is the nation’s No.1 recruiting class, which features a pair of AJGA All-Americans. Finally, Carrie Forsyth enters her 10th season as one of the country’s best head coaches, having guided the Bruins to eight straight NCAA Championship berths, a national championship, four NCAA Regional crowns and three Pac-10 titles. She has established her reputation as a championship coach.

To win a national championship, a team needs three compo-nents: experience, talent and depth, and the Bruins possess all three in abundance. UCLA’s three seniors have each played under the pressure of a championship schedule. Th e Bruins also boast a pair of regional championship winners, a Pac-10 champion and a player who tied for the NCAA title last season. Top to bottom, the Bruins boast talent in excess: four All-Americans, one additional all-conference player, and a pair of veteran freshmen, who already have made an impact on the roster. Th e depth on this team is such that last year’s NCAA runner-up fi vesome, may not return intact to this year’s championship. As for some intangibles like trust, accountability, team chemistry and work ethic, the Bruins, according to Forsyth, have no problems with those issues; they even boast an additional characteristic: the desire to improve which will combat any complacency.

In 2004, when the Bruins won the NCAA title as decided underdogs, their desire to win was fueled by momentum and an us-against-them attitude. Th is year, as one of the nation’s clear favorites, they’ll rely on the painful memories of fi nishing as a runner-up to an arch-rival last season and the knowledge that underdogs have nothing to lose.

Following are capsule summaries of the Bruins’ personnel for the 2008-09 season.

THE SENIORS

Th e heart and soul of this team is its three seniors — Tiff any Joh, Ryann O’Toole and Maiya Tanaka — and each brings something dif-ferent to it. Th e failure to win a team title and the subsequent individual crown, motivated Joh to accelerate her academic calendar for a March graduation. And a well-practiced and prepared Tiff any Joh during the “championship season” spells danger for the collegiate fi eld. Th e three-year letterwinner captured her second USWAPL title last June after leading the Bruins in every statistical category in her junior year. She became just the second UCLA golfer in history to earn All-America honors for the third time.

“I know she defi nitely wants to be a part of a team that wins a national championship,” said Forsyth. “It has motivated her [to lead] this team. She is a leader by example. She has a ton of talent.”

In addition to her USWAPL title, Joh also played on the victorious U.S. Curtis Cup team and boasted a record of 2-1-1, and represented the United States in the Women’s World Amateur Championship.

O’Toole boasts 56 career starts, including the 2007 championship segment. Following a challenging season last year, she has rededicated herself to improving her game. Th e results are apparent: a Top 10 fi nish at the Stanford Invitational in October and a FUTURES Tour


SEASON OUTLOOK

qualifi cation in November. “More competition [among players] has improved Ryann’s game,”

said Forsyth. “She knows that in order to make the travel lineup, she must improve and that starts with more consistency.”

At the Stanford event, she fi red a second round fi ve-under par 66 and tied for fi fth at 212 (-1). At Lakeland, Fla., in the FUTURES Tour qualifying, she posted rounds of 77-72-71-72—276 (+4) and tied for 32nd. Th rough the fall 2008 schedule, she played six rounds in just fi ve-over par and was averaging 72.0.

In the last two seasons, Tanaka has managed to insert herself into the lineup during the championship schedule. As a sophomore in 2007, she tied for 65th at the NCAAs, and last season at the NCAA Central Regional, she tied for 10th, her best collegiate result.

“Every year, Maiya surprises me,” said Forsyth. “She can never be counted out of anything. She works hard on her game; she’s made changes in her swing and putting. She’s really competitive and never quits.”

Given an opportunity, Tanaka makes the most of it. An injury and a scheduling confl ict opened up two spots on the travel roster this fall for the Collegiate Match Play Championship. Tanaka helped the Bruins to the stroke play title by tying for 24th.

THE JUNIORS

Sydnee Michaels enjoyed a solid year in 2008, in which she fi nished the season ranked 21st and earned 2nd Team All-America honors after tying for eighth place at the NCAA Championship. She also recorded eight Top 20 fi nishes, a career best.

Unsatisfi ed, she worked over the summer to improve her game and her diligence produced impressive results this fall: a victory and three Top 10 fi nishes in four starts.

“She has already started with a breakout year,” said Forsyth. “She has taken on the challenge of improving the weak parts of her game. Th e biggest improvement has been her short game and putting.”

Michaels won this fall’s Mason Rudolph event with scores of 68-70-67—205 (-11), two strokes shy of the 54-hole record she set in winning her last tournament, the 2007 NCAA East Regional. She also placed fourth at Stanford and tied for sixth at the Top Cup.

She ended the fall season six-under par through nine rounds with a 71.2 scoring average and four rounds under par.

Lalitla Bonnoppornkul is expected to redshirt this season. Last year she played just six rounds, all as an individual competitor. She boasts 24 rounds of experience.

THE SOPHOMORES

Second-year golfers Maria Jose Uribe and Glory Yang each were impact players a year ago, and both earned All-America honors as freshmen.

By virtue of her U.S. Women’s Amateur victory in 2007, Uribe received exemptions into the LPGA’s four majors last season. She made the cut in three of them, highlighted by a tie for 10th at the U.S. Women’s Open. She earned consensus All-America honors as a freshman after sharing two titles last year: the Kent Youel Invitational and the NCAA Central Regional title.

“No matter how good her game is, [Maria] is always trying to improve it,” said Forsyth. “She’s a very positive player, and a great team-mate because of her attitude.”

Yang, a 2008 First-Team All-Pac-10 selection and a consensus second-team All-American, tied for 15th at the NCAA Championship as a freshman. She ended the season ranked 20th nationally and recorded eight Top 20 results in 11 starts.

“Last year, Glory made a lot of improvements in her mental game, particularly in the perception of herself,” said Forsyth. “Th e result has been a much more confi dent player to go along with her talent. She has

one of the best short games in the country.”Yang started her sophomore season with a victory at the Topy Cup.

She also tied for 10th at the Mason Rudolph event. She’s played nine rounds this season in even par.

THE FRESHMEN

Judged by GolfWeek to be the best recruiting class in the country, freshmen Stephanie Kono and Brianna Do have already made an impact on the roster — the most important of which is competition and depth.

Kono, considered the nation’s top recruit, was ranked No.1 most of the spring by the AJGA. She entered UCLA as one of the nation’s most accomplished junior golfers, after advancing to the semifi nals of the USWAPL and the third round of the U.S. Women’s Amateur over the summer. A two-time First-Team AJGA All-American, Kono also was twice a member of the Canon Cup West Team.

“She’s an impact player,” said Forsyth. “Her biggest asset is her calm demeanor. She’s very poised and unfl appable. And that can be very intimidating to an opponent.”

Kono ran away with the stroke play competition of the Collegiate Match Play Championship, fi ring bookend 66s and fi nishing at 12-under par 132 to lead the Bruins to the team title and a top seeding. Th rough the fall schedule, she emerged as the team’s most consistent player recording four Top 20 results in four starts.

During the summer, Do advanced to the second round of the USWAPL and the U.S. Amateur. In her only fall start, she tied for 48th at the Stanford tournament and was averaging a respectable 73.6 after three rounds.

“Brianna will develop into a really solid young player,” said Forsyth. “She will contribute for the next few years.”

A member of the 2007 Jr. Solheim Cup team, Do twice earned AJGA All-America honors. She played four years of varsity golf at Wilson High in Long Beach and led the Bruins to four straight Moore League titles, winning the individual crown in 2007.

Carrie Forsyth, one of the country’s top collegiate coaches, begins her 10th season as Bruins’ head coach.

For three of the past four years, Golf Digest, the nation’s foremost golf magazine, has ranked Forsyth’s program among the nation’s most balanced. Based on the growth and success of UCLA women’s golf, Forsyth deserves much of the credit.

Last year, Forsyth guided the Bruins to their fourth NCAA Regional title and run-nerup fi nishes at the NCAA Championship and the Pac-10 Tournament. Junior Tiff any Joh and freshman Maria Jose Uribe earned consensus first-team All-America honors and both of those players plus sophomore Sydnee Michaels and freshman Glory Yang were named to the all-conference team. Th e Bruins also won four tournament titles to boost Forsyth’s career total to 25. In addition, fi ve of the seven players on the roster earned spots on the Director’s Honor Roll during the academic year. Finally, the Bruins extended two of their most impressive streaks by recording their seventh straight podium fi nish at the regional championship and earning their eighth consecutive NCAA berth.

Joh enjoyed an outstanding season, earning Pac-10 Golfer of the Year honors and tying for fi rst place at the 2008 NCAA Championship.

Overall, Forsyth has tutored 12 diff er-ent All-Americans, including six fi rst-team selections.

In 2006-07, despite the loss of two All-Americans who were expected to return, For-syth guided the Bruins to their third podium fi nish at the NCAA tournament. Th e Bruins, with just four scholarship players, captured second place in the conference championship and came within a few birdies of winning the regional title.

Th ree years ago, UCLA won four tourna-ments, including its third straight conference

championship. Th e Bruins landed two players on the NGCA 1st Team All-America list and a total of four players were selected to the All-Pac-10 squad. In addition, Joh was voted the 2006 Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year and senior Susie Mathews became the fi rst player ever to earn Scholar All-America honors from the NGCA four straight years.

In 2004-05 UCLA won six tournaments and came within a few shots of winning its second-straight NCAA title. Th e Bruins won their second consecutive Pac-10 title and tied for fi rst at the NCAA Regional. For the third time in four years, Forsyth was voted the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. At the NCAA Championship, the Bruins recorded their fourth Top 5 fi nish in her tenure.

Th ree players — Charlotte Mayorkas, Mathews and Amie Cochran — earned All-America honors, and Mathews earned NGCA Scholar All-America honors for the third straight year.

At the 2005 NCAA Championship, they were runners-up.

In 2003-04, the Bruins enjoyed a magical season, and Forsyth orchestrated their success. UCLA won its last six tournaments, including the trifecta of the Pac-10 Championship, the NCAA West Regional crown and the NCAA


title. Th at season, the Bruins won seven tournaments, a school record. Forsyth’s pro-gram also produced four All-Americans, fi ve all-conference selections and three academic All-Americans.

Statistically, the Bruins dropped their scoring average eight strokes from the pre-vious year, while every player on the roster improved her stroke average.

UCLA set school records during the season for lowest average team score (291.5) and lowest team score in a single round (282). Mayorkas also set a school record for single season tournament victories (4), best scoring average (71.6), lowest single round score (65) and consecutive counters (35).

Mathews and Mayorkas also fi nished third and fourth, respectively, at the NCAA Championship, helping UCLA play the fi nal nine holes in fi ve-under par.

Forsyth’s energy produced immediate results in her fi rst UCLA season — 1999-

THE COACHING STAFF

2000. Th e Bruins won the Hawaii Rainbow Fall Classic a few weeks into the season and established themselves as a growing force on the national scene by placing fi fth at the NCAA Fall Preview. When their season ended, the Bruins had improved their team stroke average by fi ve shots from the previous year, and nearly every player had improved her stroke average.

Senior Amanda Moltke-Leth earned 1st Team NGCA All-America and All-Pac-10 honors, and fi nished the season ranked sixth nationally.

Forsyth, 37, served as the head coach at Cal State Northridge from 1996-99, where she was named the 1998-99 Big Sky Coach of the Year. She guided the Matadors to a third place fi nish in the 1998 Big Sky Conference Championship and placed two players on the all-conference team. In her three seasons, the Matadors improved their team scoring average by 31 strokes.

In 1990, the former Carrie Leary en-tered UCLA as a walk-on player and earned a scholarship after her fi rst year.

As a UCLA freshman, she participated in 11 of 12 tournaments, including lineups that won the Pacifi c-10 Conference Cham-pionship and fi nished second at the NCAA Championship.

She graduated with honors from UCLA in 1994 with a degree in Psychology and also served as the Bruins’ student assistant coach during the 1993-94 season.

As an amateur, Forsyth competed in four U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championships and advanced to the quar-terfi nals in 1991. She also competed in three U.S. Amateur Championships and was an alternate qualifi er for the 1992 and 1994 U.S. Women’s Open Championships.

Forsyth, who is a member of the Ladies Professional Golf Assn., played on several LPGA mini-tours. She competed in the 1995 LPGA Tour Qualifying School.

Forsyth enjoyed a fi ne junior career before entering UCLA. She won over 30 events as a member of the Southern Cali-fornia Junior Golf Assn., including a third place individual fi nish in the 1983 Junior World Championship.

At Canyon High, where she gradu-ated in 1989, she lettered four years on the boy’s golf team and earned MVP honors as a senior.

She married James Forsyth on July 26, 2003, and the couple reside in the Santa Clarita Valley with their twin sons, Luke and Tyler and newborn daughter Josslynn.


A l i c i a Um, 29, a for-mer four-year letterwinner for the Bruins, enters her third season as as-sistant coach under Carrie Forsyth.

“We are fortunate to have Alicia as

our (fi rst) full-time assistant women’s golf coach,” Forsyth said following Um’s appoint-ment. “As a former UCLA golfer, Alicia brings a tremendous amount of experience to the position. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced golfer who can help our players’ development. She also spent a few years in the business world and her organizational and technological skills are valuable to the position. I am grateful to have her.”

In the summer of 2006, Um was credited with gaining commitments of the Bruins’ two current sophomores: Maria Jose Uribe and Glory Yang. Uribe, the 2007 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, won a pair of tournaments as a freshman last year and earned fi rst-team All-America honors. Yang, who won the 2008 Topy Cup title, earned First-Team All-Pac-10 honors and second team All-America honors as a freshman.

As a senior in 2002, Um earned All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention honors when she tied for

UCLA WOMEN’S GOLF HISTORY

Former UCLA golfer Elizabeth Kellen


THE HISTORY OF UCLA WOMEN’S GOLF

From its inception in the early 1970s, the UCLA women’s golf program has enjoyed much success. Beginning in

1971 when the Bruins won the National Intercollegiate Championship to the 1991 national championship that UCLA won under legendary coach Jackie Steinmann, and continuing with the 2004 NCAA title won under the stewardship of Carrie Forsyth, UCLA women’s golf has been synonymous with athletic and academic success.

Th e 1970-71 UCLA women’s golf team won UCLA’s fi rst national championship in women’s athletics by defeating favored Arizona State by 18 shots. Th e event, hosted by the University of Georgia, featured the two-player Bruin team of Janet Webber and Carol Ginder. Webber fi nished second indi-vidually, losing in a sudden-death playoff , and Ginder captured fi fth.

A winning tradition was born.Th e following year the Bruins com-

peted in the Assn. of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women and paticipated in six AIAW Golf Championships until the NCAA incorpo-rated women’s athletics for the 1981-82 academic year.

Webber and Ginder played another four years for the Bruins with Ginder serv-ing as player-coach during the 1974-75 season after Joann Martin, the Bruins’ fi rst coach, retired.

In 1977, UCLA hired an obscure, local club champion, who played golf when she wasn’t working as a professional ski instruc-tor. Jackie Steinmann quickly propelled the Bruins into the national spotlight by leading them to a ninth place team fi nish in the 1979 AIAW Championships. Playoff appearances, All-Americans and national rankings became the norm under Steinmann’s leadership.

Th e transition to NCAA competition proved seamless as the Bruins competed in the inaugural championship at Stanford in

1982 and placed seventh. Mary Enright was UCLA’s top fi nisher, capturing 26th place.

Th e previous year, Enright had become UCLA’s fi rst USGA champion, capturing the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship at Emerald Valley GC in Creswell, GA.

A few months later, a scrawny fresh-man enrolled at UCLA as a non-scholarship player and fi nished her career as one of the fi nest players in school history. Kay Cockerill became UCLA’s fi rst female NCAA golf All-American and won consecutive U.S. Amateur Championships (1986 and ’87), while also becoming the program’s fi rst golf Academic All-American.

In her fi nal two seasons, Cockerill led the Bruins to a pair of Top 15 fi nishes at the NCAA Championship and placed fourth and sixth individually.

In 1999, she became the fi rst female golfer to be inducted into UCLA’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Th e Bruin tradition of success con-tinued after Cockerill’s graduation. Kristal Parker, who played nearly 20 years on the LPGA Tour, earned All-America honors in 1987. She tied for 33rd place individually at the NCAAs and led the Bruins to a 16th place fi nish that season.

In 1988 Valerie Pamard earned All-America honors after sparking the Bruins to a 13th place fi nish. Jean Zedlitz was UCLA’s highest NCAA fi nisher that season, tying for 23rd place.

Zedlitz earned All-America honors in 1989 and ’90. She tied for 24th place nationally, competing as an individual in 1989.

In 1990, the Bruins won their fi rst Pac-10 title and placed second nationally. Current coach Carrie (Leary) Forsyth played in 11 of 12 events for this team as a non-scholarship freshman. Zedlitz and Elizabeth Bowman earned fi rst-team all-conference honors and Christy Erb was a second-team all-conference selection.

In 1990-91, the Bruins won fi ve tournaments, their second straight Pac-10 title and freshman Lisa Kiggens won the conference individual title. Th e Bruins also won their fi rst NCAA team title and Erb captured second place. (See story, previous page.)

From 1990-97, the Bruins participated in the NCAA Championship eight straight seasons, capturing the title once and fi nish-ing in the Top 10 every season.

In 1995-96, Steinmann engineered a defi ning achievement for UCLA Women’s Golf when the Bruins hosted the NCAA Championship at the La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs. Th at season, the Bruins enjoyed one of their fi nest campaigns, win-ning four tournaments and placing among the Top 5 in seven others. Th ey posted 17 sub-300 scores, a school record at the

Kay Cockerill, who won U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships in 1985 and ’86, was UCLA’s fi rst All-American.

1991 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY

UCLA won its fi rst NCAA title in women’s golf in 1991 at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course. Th e Bruins won fi ve tournaments that season, one shy of the previous school record, and entered the tournament as one of the favorites to capture the team crown.

Th e Bruins overcame a six-stroke defi cit on the fi nal two holes to tie San Jose State after 72 holes.

Th e teams began the fi rst-ever NCAA Championship sudden death playoff format, and on the fi rst extra hole, UCLA’s LaRee Sugg sank a 25-foot birdie putt to win the

school’s second NCAA golf team champion-ship (the men won in 1988).

Individually, the Bruins’ Christy Erb fi nished second to Arizona’s Annika Soren-stam. Erb’s 291 total was three-over par. Lisa Kiggens fi nished in a tie for 13th at 300, and Sugg tied for 16th at 301.

Kiggens, Sugg and Debbi Koyama earned All-America honors, while each of those players plus Elizabeth Bowman was awarded All-Pac-10 honors.


THE HISTORY OF UCLA WOMEN’S GOLF

time. Th e Bruins fi nished three shots behind Arizona for the NCAA title, but landed four players on the All-America team: Jenny Park, Kathy Choi, Amandine Vincent and Jeong Min Park.

On July 1, 1999, UCLA began a new era by hiring Leary (later Forsyth) as its second full-time head coach.

In eight seasons, she has guided the Bruins to seven straight NCAA Champion-ship berths, culiminating with the 2004 team title (see story below). She led the Bruins to victories in the 2002, ’04 and ’05 NCAA West Regionals, the 2004, ’05 and ’06 Pac-10 titles, and she has earned Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors three times.

Forsyth has tutored nine All-Americans: Amanda Moltke-Leth in 2000, Laura Moff at in 2001 Charlotte Mayorkas from 2003-05, Susie Mathews, Hannah Jun and Krystal Shearer in 2004, Amie Cochran in 2005 and 2006, Jane Park in 2006 and Tiff any Joh in 2006 and 2007.

In 2002, freshman Yvonne Choe earned Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year honors after fi nishing in a tie for fourth place at the conference championship tournament. In 2004, Jun was awarded the same honor after placing second in the conference champion-ship. Jun became the fi rst UCLA golfer to win the NCAA West Regional a few weeks later. In 2005, Joh was voted the conference’s Newcomer of the Year.

Forsyth was named the 2004 NGCA Coach of the Year after guiding the Bruins to seven tournament victories including the conference, regional and national champi-onships.

In 2005, the Bruins were in contention to win a second national championship,

2004 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY

Th e Bruins won their second NCAA title in women’s golf with a lot of heart and hard work. Th e experts were ready to hand top-ranked Duke the title. Th e Blue Devils had won 10 of the 11 tournaments in which they had participated, including a 14-shot victory over the Bruins in the Fall at the Stanford tournament. More than a few people said Duke was the greatest team ever assembled.

In the Spring the Bruins got hot. Th ey won the spring season opener, the Regional Challenge, by 32 strokes. After fi nishing third in their next event, they won every event that followed, including the Pac-10 and NCAA Regional championships.At the NCAAs, they took the 36-hole lead and hung on while Duke faded and Oklahoma State ran out of holes.

A 24-hour rain delay on the fi nal day helped. Entering the day with a seven-stroke

lead, the Bruins watched their ad-vantage shrink to nothing through the fi rst nine holes.

Rain came and hope fol-lowed.

“We were defi nitely struggling when they halted play (on Friday),” said Coach Carrie Forsyth.

On Saturday, the rainbow ap-peared, and the Bruins erased the doubters by playing the fi nal nine holes in fi ve-under par. All-Ameri-can Charlotte Mayorkas drained three birdies on the inward nine, including a 30-footer on the 71st hole, Susie Mathews added two birdies of her own to post an even par 72 and fi nish third individually at eight-under par. Gina Umeck tied for 16th with a clutch 73 in the fi nal round.

In the end, the Bruins had won by three shots over Oklahoma State and by 11

over Duke.Four Bruins — Mayorkas, Mathews,

Krystal Shearer and Jun — earned All-America honors and Forsyth was voted the National Golf Coaches Assn.’s Coach of the Year. In addition, three players were named Scholar All-Americans: Mathews, Umeck and Bridget Dwyer.

but ultimately fi nished as the runner-up to Duke. Th ree players, including Cochran, earned All-America honors and Mayorkas and Mathews earned fi rst and second team laurels, respectively. In addition, the Bruins won the Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional titles for the second straight year and Forsyth was voted conference coach of the year for the third time.

Th e Bruins in 2006 earned their sixth straight NCAA Championship berth, won their third consecutive Pac-10 title (a fi rst in the program’s history) and captured four tournament titles. Four players earned All-Ameerica honors, one player earned Scholar All-America honors and two players were named to the Pac-10 All-Academic Team. In addition, senior All-American Susie Mathews graduated with a 3.56 grade point average in communications and became the fi rst collegiate player to earn NGCA Scholar All-America honors four straight years.

Th e Bruins played the 2006-07 season without Cochran and Park, two All-Ameri-cans who were expected to return, and still managed to earn their seventh straight NCAA berth and fi nish third nationally.

Joh earned All-America honors for the second straight year and freshman Sydnee Michaels won the NCAA East Regional title with a school record score of 13-under par. Sophomore Ryann O’Toole earned a spot on the all-conference team along with Joh and Jun, who were fi rst and second team selections, respectively.

In 2007-08, the Bruins earned their eighth straight NCAA berth after winning their fourth regional championship in Forsyth’s tenure. Th e Bruins also won three other tournaments, including the Regional

Challenge in Palos Verdes.Joh and freshman Maria Jose Uribe

earned consensus fi rst-team All-America honors, and Uribe tied for fi rst place at the NCAA Regional. In June, Joh won her second U.S. Women’s Amateur Publinks title after tying for fi rst at the NCAA Championship. Michaels and freshman Glory Yang were selected as second-team All-Americans, and all four players were voted to the Pac-10 All-Conference Team.

As a result of her 2007 U.S. Women’s Amateur victory, Uribe received exemptions to all four of the LPGA’s major champion-ships. She made the cut in three of them, highlighted by a tie for 10th result at the U.S. Women’s Open.

Th omas, Jack Neville and Billy Bell Sr., with most recent changes by Robert Trent Jones. Th e Bruins play here frequently and enjoy privileges at the driving range. From the white tees the course measures 6,100 yards, par 74 with a rating of 67.0.

Brentwood Country Club: Th e Brentwood Country Club is located just 10 minutes from the UCLA campus.

Palos Verdes Country Club: Built in 1924 and designed by George C. Th omas, this course is one of the Southland’s best kept secrets.

KEY ADMINISTRATORS

DAN GUERREROATHLETIC DIRECTOR • UCLA ’74 • 7TH YEAR

BOB FIELD

ASSOCIATE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR • ARKANSAS ’71 • 8TH YEAR

In just six years as UCLA’s Director of Athletics, Daniel G. Guerrero has boldly placed his imprint on the school’s athletic program.

Guerrero, one of the most respected and talented administrators in intercollegiate athletics, has stamped his mark on UCLA Athletics. He is currently serving as the chair of the NCAA’s Division I Men’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group. He is also a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. In addition, he is the

third vice-president of NACDA, serves on the NACDA Executive Committee and is also on the executive board of the Division I Athletic Directors Association. In June of 2007, he was named NACDA Division I West Region Athletic Director of the Year.

In his fi rst six years, Guerrero has clearly established a philosophy of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA has won 103 NCAA team championships, a national leader. In those six years, UCLA teams have led the nation by winning 17 NCAA team titles in 11 diff erent sports, fi nished second 13 times and have fi nished in the Top Five 22 times. A staggering 113 teams have qualifi ed for NCAA post-season competition and the football team has appeared in six straight bowl games. Th e program has also won 37 conference championships in 15 diff er-ent sports, produced 338 All-Americans and featured four Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.

In 2007-08, UCLA won its fourth consecutive NCAA women’s water polo championship, its fi rst NCAA title in women’s tennis and its second in men’s golf. Th e Bruins fi nished second in women’s golf, tied for third men’s tennis, made their fi fth straight trip the Women’s College Cup, their third consecutive visit to the Final Four in men’s basketball, and recorded six other national Top 20 fi nishes. UCLA also won fi ve conference championships and two league tournaments.

Guerrero came to UCLA in 2002 from UC Irvine, where he had served for 10 years. Prior to that appointment, he was the Athletic Director for fi ve years at Cal State Dominguez Hills, where he earned his Master’s degree in 1982. He received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base in the Bruin baseball program for four years. Dan is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two adult daughters.

Bob Field begins his eighth season as an associate athletic director and his 30th as a member of the athletic department.

For the past seven years, Field oversaw the cross country and track programs. Th is year he begins his fi rst season as the men’s and women’s golf administrator. He also will continue to supervise UCLA’s rowing program and serve as an aide to Dan Guerrero in all football matters.

In addition, he also oversees housing, parking, training table, video services, agent relations and coaches’ development.

Prior to his switch to administration in 2001, Field spent 22 seasons as an assistant coach with the Bruin football team. He was the assistant head coach during his fi nal fi ve seasons (1996-2000) and served as defensive coordinator for 16 seasons (1982-95 and 1999-2000) while tutoring outside linebackers, place-kickers and defensive backs at various times in his career.

Field has been at UCLA since 1978, with the exception of the 1980 season. Over the years, he tutored some of the top athletes in school history and crafted numerous defenses ranked in the Top 20 in various categories. He began his coaching career under the legendary Bear Bryant at Alabama (1971-72) and moved to Mississippi State in 1973. During his fi ve-year tenure at MSU, he coached the secondary and served as defensive coordinator in his fi nal four seasons with the Bulldogs.

Field earned a Bachelor’s degree in Science Education at Arkansas in 1971 and was named to the All-Southwest Conference Academic Team his senior year. He was a three-year varsity letterman and two-year starter in the secondary for Hall of Fame Coach Frank Broyles. In his three varsity seasons, the Razorbacks were 28-5 with two Sugar Bowl appearances.

He is married to the former Valorie Kondos and has three sons: Kyle, Brian and Michael.

FRIENDS OF GOLF

Th e Friends of Golf (FOG) organization has been a fi xture of fi nancial support for the UCLA golf program and collegiate and youth golf nationwide for the last three decades.

Th e origins of this group come from former UCLA golf coach and GCAA Hall of Famer, Eddie Merrins. Under his stewardship from 1976-89, the UCLA golf program developed into one of the most successful in the country.

Merrins pioneered the FOG organization to aid in fund-raising activities for youth golf programs around the Southland. 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 Pitino, David Wolper and Richard Crenna distinguished the tourna-ment in 1991. Highlighting the 12th 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, a two-time FOG honoree, called the annual event, “Th e best one-day golf tourna-ment in the country.”

A NOTE OF GRATITUDE

Th e UCLA Athletic Department and the women’s golf program sincerely thank Carl and Bette McBain for their generous support of UCLA Athletics. Th e McBains have established fi ve athletic endow-ments: football, men’s track and fi eld, women’s gymnastics, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In addition, the McBains generously gave their fi nancial support for the construction and renovation of the J.D. Morgan Intercollegiate Athletics Center. Th ey are Hoopsters members, and have named the Administrative Suite in the Morgan Center.

Carl was a three-year track and fi eld lettermen from 1938-41 as one of the country’s best hurdlers. Some of his teammates included the late Tom Bradley, former mayor of Los Angeles, Kenny Washington, the fi rst African-American to play in the NFL, and Baseball Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, the fi rst African-American to play Major League Baseball.

In 1940, Carl earned All-America honors and won the AAU national championship in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles. His time of 51.6 was the world’s fastest that year and stood as the Ameri-can record for 12 years. Although voted by national sports writers as most likely to win the Olympic gold medal in this event, Carl didn’t compete because World War II caused the cancellation of the Games. He graduated from UCLA in 1941 with a degree in Psychology.

Four days after graduation, Carl married Bette. After serving as an offi cer in the Navy, he returned to campus and served as Administra-tor of Medical Research for fi ve years on the UCLA Atomic Energy Commission. In 1952, Carl founded McBain Instruments, which manufactures mechanical, optical and automated instruments for industry and medicine. He still works several days a week.

If their fi nancial support hasn’t been enough, the McBain’s

legacy continued in another way: their grandniece, Melissa McBain, competed for the UCLA’s women’s cross country and track and fi eld teams from 2000-04.
