HEAD COACH - DEREK FREEMAN
DEREK FREEMAN HEAD COACH • 4TH YEAR • (OKLAHOMA ’94)
N
ow beginning his fourth 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 smiled with pride as that player won a host of awards. 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 finish, a final 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, sophomore Alex Shi Yup 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, extending the longest in school history. Freeman also guided UCLA to its third NCAA Regional title in program history. In addition, Gregor Main was voted Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and senior Erik Flores became the only player in school history to earn 1st Team All-Pac10 honors three times. Flores also earned All-America honors for the third time in
his career. The Bruins won the 2008 NCAA title by one stroke over defending champion Stanford at Purdue’s Kampen Course on the last day of May. A key par by senior All-American Kevin Chappell on the 72nd hole clinched the victory, but it was Chappell’s bogey save from a disastrous lie at the 71st 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 final three holes in one-under par to stymie the Cardinal’s rally. In the succeeding days, Chappell collected some awards that had UCLA historians dusting up their antique collection and creating new mantle space. He became the first UCLA golfer in the 75-year history of the program to win the NCAA individual championship and the Jack Niclaus Award. He also became just the third player in school history to earn consensus first-team All-America honors, and the first since 1985. A month before the season ended, Chappell became the sixth UCLA player to earn Pac-10 Golfer of the Year honors. Freeman also claimed one other AllAmerican -- Erik Flores, who also won his first collegiate individual title. In addition, both Chappell and Flores were selected First-Team All-Pac-10 members. 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. Through 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. The Bruins finished his first half season ranked No.2 in the nation. In the November signing period, Freeman inked the nation’s No. 2 ranked group of recruits as judged by GolfWeek. The list included two AJGA All-Americans and one of Mexico’s top amateurs. Four months later, he added another AJGA All-American to that list. In 2007-08, the Bruins won five tournaments, a figure that ranks fifth in school history. UCLA also won its first-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 five 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 by averaging 71.0 strokes per round and ended his career ranked fifth in school history with five career victories. Finally, he was the only player under par at the 2008 NCAA Tournament. In his first year as the Bruins’ assistant coach, Freeman coached the UCLA Blue Team, which won the Cougar Invitational and and the Cal State Bakersfield Spring Invitational. Senior Chris Heintz won the Cougar event, and at the Bakersfield 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.

HEAD COACH - DEREK FREEMAN Four years ago, Freeman spent the season as Oklahoma’s men’s assistant coach. In 2005-06, the Sooners finished 29th at the NCAA Championship after placing seventh in the NCAA Central Regional. Oklahoma also won its first Big 12 Conference team title since Freeman’s sophomore year as all five players finished 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 (200203), 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 finish 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. The 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).

2010-11 UCLA MEN’S GOLF
In six of his last eight seasons as a head coach or assistant, his teams have won either a conference, regional or national championship. As a player at OU, Freeman enjoyed a fine 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 first-ever league title. He also participated in four NCAA Regional events and four NCAA Championship tournaments. Of his 51 collegiate appearances, he finished 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 financial services industry for five years prior to entering the coaching ranks. Freeman, his wife Stephenie and their two sons live in the Santa Clarita Valley.
ASSISTANT COACH - JASON SIGLER
JASON SIGLER ASSISTANT COACH • 1ST YEAR • KANSAS ’06 Jason Sigler, a former fouryear letterman for the University of Kansas golf team, begins his first season in 2010-11 as the Bruins’ assistant golf coach. Sigler, 27, spent the last five years as an instructor for the Dave Pelz Golf School. For the past year, he has served as the lead instructor at the Pelz school’s Atlanta location, where he taught more than 1,000 students in one, two and three day seminars. Sigler opened and organized the school in Atlanta and consistently received high evaluations from students. Dave Pelz is considered one of America’s foremost short game experts and has tutored many golf professionals. “We’re excited to have Jason Sigler join the coaching staff at UCLA,” said Head Coach Derek Freeman. “His instruc-
tional expertise as well as his collegiate experience will be very valuable in our pursuit of championships. In addition, Jason’s motivation and excitement will continue to provide our student-athletes with the atmosphere to become successful.” Sigler played at Kansas from 2003-06, where he won the 2004 Kansas City Amateur Championship. He was an All-Big XII Academic selection from 2004-06. He earned his degree in Sports Management from Kansas in 2006. A 2001 FCWT First-Team All-American, Sigler played four years of golf at Immaculata High School in Leavenworth, KS, his hometown. In 2001 won the Tapetio Springs championship and was a participant in the Kansas State Amateur. “I am truly humbled to join the UCLA family and it is an honor to be part of their commitment to excellence in academics and athletics,” Sigler said. “I want to thank Coach Freeman for this opportunity. I look forward to meeting the players and being part of such a prestigious institution.”

1988 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY In 1988, the Bruins won their first and only NCAA golf team championship at North Ranch Country Club in Thousand Oaks, CA. On the final day of the tournament, UCLA, 13 shots behind the leader, rallied for one of the great comebacks in NCAA golf history. The Bruins shot a one-under par 287 over the final 18 holes to win the national championship by three shots over Texas-El Paso. The Bruins’ Brandt Jobe fired a final round three-under par 69 to record a one-under par 72-hole score of 287 and finish in a tie for second place. Jobe’s finish was the best individual finish ever by a UCLA golfer in the NCAA Bobby Lasken Championship. Although no other Bruin finished among the Top 20, clutch performances, especially on the final 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).

2008 NCAA CHAMPIONS S
enior 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 first men’s golf title since 1988. He finished at 2-under 286 and was the only player in the field under par for the event. He became the first UCLA player to win NCAA medalist honors. “The feeling I have right now is better than anything,” said Chappell. “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 kneehigh rough at the 18th hole. That score helped him post a cool 68 (-4) and assume first place entering the final 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 figured we’d take [a] five and move on to 18.” The two-time All-American chipped it in. “That 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 final 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. “This is huge for our school which prides itself on national championships,” said Freeman. “Now, I want to figure 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 final holes by junior Erik Flores and freshman Philip Francis. The 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 first team title. These three titles gave UCLA a total of 103, a national leader. For complete scores, please see page 29. Page 28 (top): The Bruins hoist the team trophy. (Middle section, left): The Bruins celebrate.

FRIENDS OF GOLF
T
he Friends of Golf (FOG) organization has been a fixture of financial support for the UCLA golf program and collegiate and youth golf nationwide for the last three decades. The 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-profit organization and has drawn enthusiasm from many prominent professionals in the business and sports communities. The 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. The late, legendary golfer Byron Nelson called the annual FOG event, “The best one-day golf tournament in the country.” At right is a list of the past honorees: Jack Nicklaus appeared at the 1991 FOG tournament.

THIS IS UCLA
UCLA
is one of the world’s premier universities. Thirty-one of its departments are ranked among the top 20 in their fields, 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 community 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 & ALUMNI
Five 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 Fellowships, 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 freshman 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, engineers, bankers, and astronauts. Founded in 1934, the UCLA Alumni Association serves 91,000 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 first 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 community 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, field 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 Orthopaedic Hospital, primary care offices and community outreach health programs.

All UCLA head coaches stress involvement with the campus and the community. Whether it’s volunteering at an inner-city youth clinic, speaking to children at elementary and middle schools in the area, or assisting in campus programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ and ‘I’m Going to College,’ community service is an important aspect of being a Bruin.

Examples of these events include; • Marathon Kids • Dribble for the Cure • Mattel Children’s Hospital • Elementary/Middle School Visits • Team Prime Time/Prime Time Games • UCLA Lab School Jogathon • I’m Going to College • Adopt a Classroom • Special Requests/Events These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.
