HEAD COACH KEVIN BURTON One of the most accomplished golfers to come out of the Treasure Valley, Kevin Burton is in his eighth season as head coach of the Boise State men’s golf team.
Burton’s Broncos have also performed well in the classroom, earning CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District, GCAA All-American Scholar and academic all-conference accolades.
A former touring professional on the PGA Tour, Burton joined the Broncos prior to the 2005-06 season. Since his arrival, the Broncos have captured multiple team titles, the first non-hosted victories since capturing the Big Sky Conference Championship during the 1995-96 season.
Prior to his coaching career, Burton played on the PGA Tour during the 1997 season. He also played on the Australian PGA Tour (1988-90) and the Nike Tour (now the Web.com Tour) in 1996 and 2001.
Boise State spent Burton’s first six seasons challenging for the Western Athletic Conference Championship – twice finishing in the top three – and now, in the team’s second season in a new league, are looking to do the same in the Mountain West. Burton has helped Boise State produce two of the most decorated golfers in school history, Graham DeLaet and Troy Merritt. DeLaet has been playing on the PGA Tour the last three seasons, and Merritt, now on the Web.com Tour, played on the PGA Tour in both 2010 and 2011. DeLaet was the top money winner on the Canadian Tour in 2009, and Merritt spent 2009 on the PGA’s Nationwide Tour, where he ranked amongst the top 30 in earnings. He won the Q-School Qualifying Tournament in 2009, earning his PGA Tour card. DeLaet, a three-time all-conference honoree, and Merritt, a two-time All-WAC performer, rank first and second, respectively, in career victories and career top-10 finishes. Merritt won the 2008 WAC Championship and was named Boise State’s first Golf Coaches Association of America All-American. Each was named WAC Golfer of the Year and advanced to the NCAA Regional Championship. In all, Burton has helped five different golfers earn six first- or second-team all-conference accolades.
A six-time Rocky Mountain Section PGA Player of the Year (2002-04; 2006-08), Burton was a member of the PGA Cup Team in 2000 and captured the Western PGA Club Professional Championship in 2002 and 2004. He is also a three-time winner of the Rocky Mountain Section PGA Championship (2002, 2003 and 2008), a two-time winner of the Snake River Championship (2004 and 2006), a four-time winner of the Idaho Open (1999, 2002, 2003 and 2008) and the 1995 California Open champion. He also finished second at the 1995 Albertson’s Boise Open. He still plays professionally, competing this last year in the PGA Club Professional National Championship. He has played in the event several times, finishing as high as tied for third (2003). He finished fifth in the country in Player of the Year points for PGA Club Professionals in 2003. In addition to serving as the one-time club professional at Plantation Country Club in Boise, Burton has also served as a teaching professional at BanBury Golf Club in Eagle, Idaho, and spent time as the head professional at Pierce Park Greens in Boise and at the Redhawk Golf Club in Temecula, Calif. A Boise native, Burton graduated from Boise High School before attending Idaho. He played four years for the Vandals, and earned his bachelor’s degree in computer science in 1986. He and wife Amy have two children, daughter Ali and son Cal.

FROM BOISE TO THE PROS... After record-setting collegiate careers at Boise State University, Graham DeLaet and Troy Merritt have gone on to succeed at the professional level.
GRAHAM DELAET (2001-06)
TROY MERRITT (2006-08)
DeLaet finished No. 1 on the Canadian Tour in 2009 - earning Player of the Year honors - before playing his first full season on the PGA TOUR in 2010.
Merritt won the 2009 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament, earning his card for the 2010 season. He became one of just three players since 1992 to hold at least a share of the lead after each of the event’s six rounds (Scott Verplank, 1997; Frank Lickliter II, 2007).
He has now earned more than $2 million on tour, recording seven top-10 finishes and 14 top-25 finishes. He has four international victories, and set the course record with a 10-under-par 62 in the third round of the Reno-Tahoe Open in 2010. He earned a career-best finish at the Shell Houston Open in 2010 (T3), following four sub-par rounds.
In his first full season on tour, he recorded a top-10 finish and four top 25s. Included was a third-place effort at the 2010 Zurich Classic of New Orleans. He went on to capture the $1 million Kodak Challenge in 2010, securing his card for the 2011 season.
