BRUINS ON TOUR
THE RISE OF LILIA VU
UCLA women’s golf alumna Lilia Vu (2015-18) took the golf world by storm in 2023, winning four tournaments, including two major championships, which earned her status as No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings on Aug. 14, 2024. She is the first Bruin to ascend to No. 1 in the professional ranks. Vu led all golfers on the LPGA Tour with four victories in 2023 coming at the Honda LPGA Thailand, The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican and two major championships at The Chevron Championship and AIG Women’s Open. The 25-year-old Vu also clinched the 2023 Rolex ANNIKA Major Award (RAMA), which recognizes the player who has the most outstanding record in all five major championships during the LPGA Tour season. She is the second American to win the award since its inception in 2014, joining Michelle Wie West, who won the inaugural award.
Vu’s meteoric rise has been storybook. In her debut season on the LPGA Tour in 2019, Vu made just one cut in nine events. Vu regained full membership for the 2022 season through the Epson Tour’s Race for the Card in 2021 after winning three times and earning Player of the Year honors. After eight top 10s and no wins in 2022, Vu burst onto the scene with her first career title in the second tournament of the 2023 season at the Honda LPGA Thailand. She is the third player since the inception of the LPGA in 1950 to enter a year with no career LPGA wins, then go on to win multiple majors that season (Se Ri Pak, 1998 and Meg Mallon, 1991).
Two months later, she won her first major at The Chevron Championship at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas in April. In August, Vu claimed took home a purse of $7.3 million in her second major title at the AIG Women’s Open at Walton Heath Golf Club in England. Vu was the first American since Juli Inkster in 1999 to win two major championships in a single season.
“Being the best in the world, that’s just crazy to me,” said Vu following her win in Surrey, England at Walton Heath. “Just thinking about the struggle I had this year and just to come out with that has been – it’s just incredible.”
In 2024, Vu added her fifth win at the Meijer LPGA Classic which is the most by a UCLA women’s golf alumna. Vu has 19 top-10 finishes and 34 top-25s in her career to date as of Sept. 10, 2024.
At UCLA, Vu was the Pac-12 Conference Golfer of the Year, WGCA Player of the Year and a Honda Sport Award Finalist in 2018. Vu, a three-time WGCA First-Team All-American, ranks first in UCLA history with eight victories and second with a 71.09 scoring average.
She posted two top-10 individual finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2016 and 2018. In her junior season in 2017, Vu became the fifth Bruin in program history to medal at the Pac-12 Championships, helping UCLA to its sixth team title and first in 11 years.

BRUINS AT THE OLYMPICS
Four UCLA women’s golf alumnae have competed on the world’s biggest stage at the Summer Olympics: Emma Spitz (Austria), Patty Tavatanakit (Thailand), Mariajo Uribe (Colombia) and Lilia Vu (USA). All four golfers represented their countries and UCLA at the most recent Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Le Golf National.
Golf was first contested in the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri, but was not featured again for another 112 years at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A native of Giron, Colombia, Uribe has appeared in all three Olympic golf events since its return in 2016.
Uribe, who was competing in her final event as a professional, registered the best finish by a Bruin at the Olympics with a T-10th mark (-4; 70-70-71-73) in Paris.

Many of UCLA’s undergraduates volunteer for these programs, including tutoring youths, 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 partners 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.

UCLA’s COACHES
Career Highlights
ALICIA UM HOLMES
UCLA Women’s Golf Head Coach
2nd Season (19th Overall)
UCLA ‘02
• Golfweek Women’s Coach of the Year (2023-2024)
• WGCA Assistant Coach of the Year (2013-2014)
• 2011 NCAA Champion Assistant Coach
Alicia Um Holmes enters her second season as head coach of the UCLA women’s golf program in 2024-25. Um Holmes spent the previous 17 years as an assistant and associate head coach for the Bruins under UCLA Athletic Hall of Famer Carrie Forsyth. Um Holmes was announced as the new head coach on May 25, 2023, by The Alice and Nahum Lainer Family Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond.
In her 18 total years with the program, Um Holmes has helped guide the Bruins to the 2011 NCAA Championship, three NCAA runner-up finishes, five NCAA Regional titles and two Pac-12 Championships. With Um Holmes on staff, UCLA has produced two ANNIKA Award winners in Alison Lee (2014) and Bronte Law (2016), as well as two WGCA Player of the Year honorees in Law (2016) and Lilia Vu (2018). Eleven UCLA golfers have hauled in 22 WGCA First Team AllAmerican awards with Um Holmes on staff. Four Bruins have been named the Pac-12 Golfer of the Year a total of five times under Um Holmes while UCLA’s four Pac-10/12 Newcomer of the Year awards since 2006 trail only one school. Um Holmes has coached 33 All-Pac-12 First Team selections and has been a part of 55 UCLA tournament victories.
Several of Um Holmes and Forsyth’s golfers are flourishing in the professional ranks. Current LPGA stars who Um Holmes helped recruit to UCLA are Law, Lee, Vu, Patty Tavatanakit and Ryann O’Toole. Tavatanakit became the first Bruin to win a major championship event since Melissa “Mo” Martin in 2014 at the 2021 Chevron Championship. Vu had her breakout season in 2023, ascending to World No. 1 and earning Rolex Player of the Year after winning two major championships – the Chevron Championship and AIG Women’s Open – and two other events at the Honda LPGA Thailand and The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. Vu has five total victories on the LPGA Tour which are the most ever by a Bruin.
Five golfers from the Um Holmes and Forsyth era have represented their country on the world’s biggest stage at the Olympics. Most recently, four Bruins competed at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Emma Spitz (Austria), Patty Tavatanakit (Thailand), Mariajo Uribe (Colombia) and Lilia Vu (USA). Uribe, making her third Olympic appearance and competing in her final event as a professional, notched the highest finish by a Bruin at the Olympics with a T-10th placement. Years as Head Coach
Um Holmes completed a remarkable first season in 2023-24, resulting in a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships, four team stroke play wins and numerous individual accolades and records. Um Holmes was awarded the Golfweek Women’s Coach of the Year for the team’s success. She was also a finalist for WGCA National Coach of the Year.
UCLA was victorious in Um Holmes’ second tournament as head coach at the Windy City Collegiate Classic where the Bruins ousted nine top-25 teams with a score of -32, 832 to tie the lowest 54hole mark in program history. UCLA had a stretch of three consecutive wins to begin the spring at The Match in the Desert, the Nanea Pac-12 Preview and The Show. The four wins were the most for the program since the 2017-18 season. UCLA also secured its second straight Battle for the Bell title over crosstown rival USC in the fall with a convincing 4-1 victory. In postseason play, UCLA placed fourth at both the Pac-12 Championships and NCAA Las Vegas Regional to clinch its spot at the NCAA Championships. The Bruins’ memorable postseason run began by making the eight-team cut line for match play at the NCAA Championships. UCLA toppled Texas A&M in the Quarterfinals, 3-0-2, and Oregon in the Semifinals, 3-1-1, before falling to top-seeded Stanford in the Finals, 3-2. The result marked the fifth runner-up finish in program history.
Six of Um Holmes’ eight golfers recorded multiple top-10 individual finishes in 2023-24. The Bruins’ top performer was consensus First Team All-American and ANNIKA Award Finalist Zoe Antoinette Campos who led the team in scoring average (70.7), wins (4), top 10s (9), top 20s (10), rounds under par (21) and counting round percentage (32/32) for a second straight season. Campos’ four medals were tied for the most in UCLA single-season history and her 21 rounds under par set a program single-season record. Caroline Canales was also awarded WGCA Honorable Mention All-American acclaim for the first time in her career. Canales ranked second on the squad with a 72.6 stroke average, four top 10s and 12 rounds under par, and put on a dominant show in the match play portion of the NCAA Championships with a perfect 3-0-0 record. On the Pac-12 awards circuit, Campos was named to the First Team while three Bruins were
recognized as Honorable Mention: Canales, Meghan Royal and Kate Villegas.
Um Holmes’ offseason recruiting prowess led to much success in 2023-24. Three of the four transfers she signed to her first-year roster – Royal, Villegas and Natalie Vo – were in the starting lineup for UCLA’s NCAA Championship run. Royal, along with Canales, were named to Golfweek’s All-Match Play Team after strong showings in the postseason. Villegas was the only Bruin to appear in all 12 stroke play tournaments and two match play competitions, notching three top 10s in the process. She placed in the top 20 in all four of UCLA’s wins with every round counting towards the team score. Vo proved reliable down the stretch, competing in all eight spring tournaments with a pair of top-20 results. The junior transfer from Colorado put up points for the Bruins in her first two matches at the NCAA Championships.
Years Prior to Becoming Head Coach
Alongside retired UCLA head coach Carrie Forsyth, Um Holmes helped guide the Bruins to the 2011 NCAA Championship, five NCAA Regional titles and two Pac-12 Championships. Beginning her first year as an assistant in 2006, Um Holmes and Forsyth went on a dominant run of five consecutive seasons with top three finishes at both the conference championships and Regionals. They placed top three at nationals in four of those five years.
Um Holmes and Forsyth have produced two ANNIKA Award winners, which is given annually to the top female Division I collegiate golfer, in Alison Lee (2014) and Bronte Law (2016), as well as two WGCA Player of the Year honorees in Law (2016) and Lilia Vu (2018). Eleven UCLA golfers hauled in 21 WGCA First Team All-American Awards in Um Holmes’ time as an assistant and associate head coach.
No school won more Pac-10/12 Golfer of the Year awards than UCLA since Um Holmes joined the staff, with four Bruin golfers taking home the honor five times. UCLA’s four Pac-10/12 Newcomer of the Year awards since 2006 trail only one school.

UCLA’s COACHES
ERYNNE
YOO
UCLA Women’s Golf Assistant Coach 2nd Season UCLA ‘15
Erynne Yoo enters her second season as UCLA women’s golf assistant coach in 2024-25. Head coach Alicia Um Holmes announced the former Bruin All-American golfer as her assistant coach on Monday, June 26, 2023.
Yoo and Um Holmes completed a remarkable first season in 2023-24, resulting in a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships, four team stroke play wins and numerous individual accolades and records.
UCLA was victorious in Yoo’s second tournament as assistant coach at the Windy City Collegiate Classic where the Bruins ousted nine top-25 teams with a score of -32, 832 to tie the lowest 54hole mark in program history. UCLA had a stretch of three consecutive wins to begin the spring at The Match in the Desert, the Nanea Pac-12 Preview and The Show. The four wins were the most for the program since the 2017-18 season. UCLA also secured its second-straight Battle for the Bell title over crosstown rival USC in the fall with a convincing 4-1 victory. In postseason play, UCLA placed fourth at both the Pac-12 Championships and NCAA Las Vegas Regional to clinch its spot at the NCAA Championships. The Bruins’ memorable postseason run began by making the eight-team cut line for match play at the NCAA Championships. UCLA toppled Texas A&M in the Quarterfinals, 3-0-2, and Oregon in the Semifinals, 3-1-1, before falling to top-seeded Stanford in the Finals, 3-2. The result marked the fifth runner-up finish in program history.
Six of UCLA’s eight golfers recorded multiple top-10 individual finishes in 2023-24. The Bruins’ top performer was consensus First Team All-American and ANNIKA Award Finalist Zoe Antoinette Campos who, for the second straight season, led the team in scoring average (70.7), wins (4), top 10s (9), top 20s (10), rounds under par (21) and counting round percentage (32/32). Campos’ four medals were tied for the most in UCLA single-season history and her 21 rounds under par set a program single-season record. Caroline Canales was also awarded WGCA Honorable Mention All-American acclaim for the first time in her career. Canales ranked second on the squad with a 72.6 stroke average, four top 10s and 12 rounds under par, and put on a dominant show in the match play portion of the NCAA Championships with a perfect 3-0-0 record. On the Pac-12 awards circuit, Campos was named to the First Team while three Bruins were recognized as Honorable Mention: Canales, Meghan Royal and Kate Villegas.
Yoo was coached by Um Holmes and UCLA Athletic Hall of Famer Carrie Forsyth during her collegiate playing career from 2011-2015. As a Bruin, Yoo was a three-time WGCA All-American, earning first-team recognition in 2012 and 2013, was an All-Pac-12 First Team honoree in 2013 and was both the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and NGCA Freshman of the Year in 2012.
Yoo returns to Westwood after a season and a half as the assistant at Princeton University. The Tigers posted three top 3 finishes in 2022-2023 and recorded their best performance of the season at the Columbia Classic where they placed second out of 14 teams. One of Yoo’s golfers, Victoria Liu, qualified for NCAA Regionals.
UCLA qualified for the NCAA Championship all four years with Yoo in the program, finishing in the top 10 three times with a high finish of third during her junior year. With Yoo, UCLA won or tied for two NCAA Regional team titles in 2014 and 2012. Yoo played in the NCAA Championship all four years, highlighted by a t-4th mark in 2013. She medaled in four events in her collegiate playing career with one in each season.
Yoo has competed in 26 LPGA events during her professional career. At the 2018 Bank of Hope Founders Cup at the Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix, Ariz., Yoo tied for seventh, marking her top finish to date on the LPGA circuit. On the Symetra Tour, Yoo has competed in 73 events, turning in 10 top-10 finishes, including wins at the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship and the Donald Ross Centennial, both in 2017, and the 2016 IOA Championship.
In international competition, Yoo was a member of the U.S. team at the 2014 Curtis Cup, was the stroke-play medalist while playing for the U.S. team at the 2013 Copa de las Americas, was part of the U.S. team at the 2012 Women’s World Amateur Championship and was part of the U.S. team for the 2008 Junior Ryder Cup.
Prior to earning her degree in psychology at UCLA in 2015, the Silverdale, Wash., native and alumna of Central Kitsap High School was a two-time U.S. Women’s Open qualifier in 2008 and 2011, was a five-time AJGA All-American and was twice named the Pacific Northwest Golf Association and Washington State Golf Association’s Girls Player of the Year.

1991 NCAA CHAMPIONS
NCAA Champs!
By Michael Klein – Daily Bruin
May 28, 1991
Legendary football coach Woody Hayes would have loved this one.
A team stepped onto Ohio State University’s Scarlet Golf Course and absolutely refused to lose.
That team was the No.3-ranked UCLA women’s golf team, which captured its first ever national championship with a gutsy come-from-behind victory over top-ranked San Jose State.
For the first time in NCAA history, the national title was decided in a playoff. The Bruins wasted little time, winning the first playoff hole on a birdie by senior LaRee Sugg.
“This is my greatest moment at UCLA,” Sugg said.
Sugg’s incredible finish overshadowed the performance of Christy Erb. She came into the tournament as the lowest-ranked Bruin, but she finished in second place for the individual title behind Arizona’s Annika Sorenstam.
The NCAA Championships were supposed to b a three-team race between the Bruins, Spartans and Arizona Wildcats. Not coincidentally, they finished one, two, three.
The three powers were left scratching their heads after Wednesday’s first round, however, as unheralded South Florida shot a 298 and held a two-stroke lead over the Spartans and threestroke lead over the Bruins.
“We played a good first round. South Florida played very well early, but we were confident that we could overtake them,” said head coach Jackie Steinmann.
Midnight came in the next round for the would-be Cinderella, as the Bruins scorched the course with an even-par 288, the best round of golf in UCLA history (the previous record was 290). The Bruins’ shots did not fall as frequently in the third round, though, as they faltered with a 307.
“I didn’t think we could have a repeat of the second round, so I was satisfied with the score. We got a little tired on the back nine, but we still had a two-shot lead over (San Jose State),” Steinmann said.
The fourth round Saturday was perhaps the most exciting final round in NCAA history. The Bruins still had their two-stroke lead after nine holes, and then the fun began.
On the 13th hole, Sugg placed her ball very close to the front of the tee marker, trying to find a flat spot on the viciously torn-up tee. San Jose State’s Pat Hurst, the top-ranked player in the nation, apparently had a ruler in her brain and noticed that the ball was placed a little bit too far in front of the tee marker.
Hurst, on the urging of Georgia coach Beans Kelly, then notified the officials. The divot was measured (Sugg had already teed off) and the ball was estimated to be half an inch too far. Sugg was assessed a two-stroke penalty and had to replay the hole.
The penalty and a slight lapse by the Bruins dropped them five strokes back of the Spartans with just two holes remaining. Then the rally started.
Freshman Lisa Kiggens birdied the 17th hole and miraculously got out from under a tree to salvage par on the 18th. Sugg and senior Debby Koyama parred both holes. This would not have been good enough to win without help from San Jose State. They obliged with a string of bogies and a double bogie.
The Bruins and Spartans were tied at 1197 when Erb calmly sank a six-foot putt to save par and send the tournament into a playoff.
“At the time, I had no idea that the whole tournament was riding on my putt,” Erb said. The Bruins also got a big lift from the gallery, which immediately sided with the Bruins after the penalty.
“Having the crowd on our side was a tremendous help, and it got us even more pumped up,” Sugg said.
“In those last two holes, I did not believe what I was seeing. The team came through. They just did it,” Steinmann said.
All of the San Jose State players made par on the first playoff hole. Erb, Kiggens and sophomore Liz Bowman parred for the Bruins. That set the stage for Sugg, who drained a 25-foot birdie putt for the national title.
“I was completely determined to make up for the penalty,” Sugg said. After the victory, more honors came at the awards banquet that night. Kiggens capped off the greatest freshman season in UCLA history by being named a First-Team All American. The Pac-10 Individual champion became the first freshman in UCLA history to garner such an honor.
Sugg and Koyama finished off their UCLA careers by being named to the Second Team. Coach Steinmann was named the Far West Regional Coach of the Year.
“This is the best team I have ever had in my 14 years at UCLA. Their goal at the beginning of the year was to win the Pac-10 and nationals. They worked incredibly hard the whole year to achieve that goal,” Steinmann said.

2004 NCAA CHAMPIONS
Not even rain could stop the Bruins from winning the 2004 NCAA Championship at the Grand National Golf Course in Auburn, Ala., concluding the tournament at 4-under (1,148) to win by three shots over Oklahoma State. Three UCLA golfers, Susie Mathews (3rd, -8), Charlotte Mayorkas (4th, -4) and Gina Umeck (T-16), finished inside the Top 20. The Bruins won their second NCAA title in women’s golf with a lot of heart and hard work. The 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. They won the spring season opener, the Regional Challenge, by 32 strokes. After finishing third in their next event, they won every event that followed, including the Pac10 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 final day helped. Entering the day with a seven-stroke lead, the Bruins watched their advantage shrink to nothing through the first nine holes. Rain came and hope followed.
“We were definitely struggling when they halted play (on Friday),” said Coach Carrie Forsyth. On Saturday, the rainbow appeared, and the Bruins erased the doubters by playing the final nine holes in five-under par. All-American 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 finish third individually at eight under par. Gina Umeck tied for 16th with a clutch 73 in the final round.
“It’s pretty awesome to win this thing,” Mathews said. “It was quite hot most of the day but we settled down and pulled through in the end. I’m carrying the trophy right now. We’ve all taken turns with it. ... On the last hole I looked at the leaderboard and saw that we were three shots ahead. When I made my putt there was all sorts of cheering. It was just fantastic!” In the end, the Bruins had won by three shots over Oklahoma State and by 11 over Duke.
UCLA not only won the NCAA title, but it also claimed Pac-10 and NCAA Regional Championships. Mayorkas was the medalist at Pac-10s, leading a 1-2 finish with Hannah Jun, who won the Regional title with a score of 7-under, as Mayorkas tied for third. All told, the Bruins won seven times as a team in 2003-2004, tying the school single-season record for victories, finishing in the Top 5 12 times.
Mayorkas had a historic season, winning four times with 10 Top 10 finishes, both of which are tied for the school’s single-season record. Mayorkas was the Pac-10 Golfer of the Year, a WGCA First Team All-American and one of two Bruins to be named a Honda Sport Award nominee along with Susie Mathews, who was also a First Team All-American. Jun, the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year, was a Second Team All-American, while Krystal Shearer was Honorable Mention AllAmerican. Carrie Forsyth was named the WGCA National and Regional Coach of the Year, as well as Pac-10 COY.

2011 NCAA CHAMPIONS
A scoring snafu, a note of encouragement and some clutch putting on the inward nine propelled the Bruins to their third NCAA women’s golf team championship at the Traditions Golf Course on the campus of Texas A&M University, May 21, 2011.
The Bruins brought home NCAA trophy No. 107 and the 36th for the school in women’s athletics, increasing a pair of nation-leading figures.
UCLA led wire-to-wire in this championship, but in the middle of the final round found itself trailing by a couple of shots after beginning the day with a seven-shot lead.
“We had some struggles on the front nine,” said Head Coach Carrie Forsyth, alluding to a triple bogey by junior Stephanie Kono at the eighth hole. “But we started making some birdies and it just sort of turned the tide a little bit.”
Kono redeemed herself with four birdies on the back nine, and helped inspire one of her teammates who was having a tough tournament. A note she wrote to freshman Ani Gulugian motivated the rookie to lead the team with a final round even par 72 — a key score in the last round.
As a team, the Bruins played the final nine in two-under par to register a fourth round score of 292 (+4) for a 72-hole total of 1,173 (+21).
Defending champion and eventual runner-up Purdue faded, in part, because of a disqualification. Although the signed, incorrect scorecard made little difference mathematically, the Boilermakers never recovered.
Sophomore Tiffany Lua, who held the individual lead at one point during the final round, led the Bruins by tying for fourth at 287 (-1). Third year sophomore Lee Lopez tied for 26th, Kono tied for 32nd, senior Glory Yang tied for 43rd and Gulugian tied for 65th.
“Just thinking about all those extra workouts, all those extra practices, and all those things you were dreading to get through but you did as a team, you just look back and it it makes you think that it was all worth it,” said Lua.
Lua was also the top Bruin at the Pac-10 Championship, tying for first place before eventually losing medalist honors in a playoff. Stephanie Kono added a T-1 showing at the Notre Dame Regional, one of two UCLA golfers to finish in the Top 10 (Ani Gulugian, T-8). In addition to Kono’s victory, Lua won at the Landfall Tradition, while Lee Lopez was first at the Bruin Wave Invitational.
Kono, who recorded 15 under-par rounds on the year, was a First Team WGCA All-American. Lopez and Lua were both named Second Team WGCA All-American, Glory Yang was Honorable Mention WGCA All-American and Gulugian was Honorable Mention Golfweek All-American. All five All-Americans were also named to the All-Pac-10 teams (First Team - Kono, Lopez and Lua; Second Team - Gulugian and Yang). Head coach Carrie Forsyth earned Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year honors.

ANNIKA AWARD WINNERS
Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is annually given to the top female Division I collegiate golfer; the winner voted on by players, coaches and members of the golf media.
Named for and presented by Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Commission to acknowledge the top female golfer at the end of the season, to match the Haskins Award presented by Stifel which acknowledges the top male Division I collegiate golfer.
Two Bruins – Alison Lee and Bronte Law – have taken home the award in its 10-year history.
Lee was the first-ever winner of the award in 2014 after establishing the single-season scoring record and leading the nation with a 71.0 scoring average. Lee rounded up three tournament wins and nine top 10 finishes to help the Bruins to a third overall finish at the NCAA Championships.
Law won the award just two seasons later after breaking Lee’s previous single-season scoring record (70.61). Law finished 10 of her final 13 rounds of the season under par. She placed first in three events and was a medalist or runner-up in four straight events leading up to the NCAA Championships where she notched a top 10 finish.
Lilia Vu was named an ANNIKA Award finalist in 2018.
Alison Lee (2014)
Alison Lee of UCLA is the winner of the very first ANNIKA Award which 3M proudly presents to the nation’s top female collegiate golfer.
Lee, a first-team All-American and Pac-12 Player of the Year as a freshman, adds the ANNIKA Award to her growing resume after sweeping a vote of Division I golfers, college coaches and members of the golf media.
The award is an initiative of the Fred Haskins Commission and ANNIKA Foundation and is managed with the help of Golfweek. Oversight is provided by the Haskins Commission, which for 44 years has given out the Haskins Award to the outstanding male collegiate player.
Lee’s record last season at UCLA was impeccable. She set a single-season scoring record for the Bruins, led the country with a 71.0 stroke average and was a cumulative 22-under-par.
She won the Betsy Rawls, the Stanford Invitational and the Pac-12 Championships and finished in the Top 10 in nine of the 11 events she started. She was honored as Freshman of the Year by the Pac-12 and the WGCA.
She came to UCLA from Valencia, Calif., after a sparkling junior career. She was a six-time AJGA All-American and a nine-time winner on the AJGA circuit. Lee helped the USA to three straight victories at the Junior Solheim Cup and was a member of two Junior Ryder Cup teams. When votes for the inaugural ANNIKA Award were counted, it was Annika who delivered the news to Lee. This was not the first time they had met. The young Californian won the 2012 ANNIKA Invitational — a victory she calls a turning point in her young career.
“I still remember winning the tournament … I had always been in contention and on leaderboards and finishing top 10 in other events but could never win. The ANNIKA Invitational was really the turning point because in my opinion, in order to be a great successful golfer, you have to learn how to win and the ANNIKA Invitational was a big step for me,” Lee said.
Annika is proud that Lee is the first winner of an award that bears her name. “She is a great young player at UCLA, who I got to know when she won our AJGA tournament a few years ago. I’m very happy for her.”
Bronte Law (2016)
Bronte Law is the third winner of the ANNIKA Award presented by 3M, the second from UCLA. Law was named the PING WGCA Player of the Year, as well as a WGCA First Team All-American. The top-ranked collegiate golfer, according to Golfweek, led the Bruins with a 70.6 scoring average this season, posting eight Top 10s in nine events, including a co-medalist finish at the Bryan Regional. It was her third victory of the season (Stanford Intercollegiate and PING/ASU Invitational) and the sixth of her career to tie Kay Cockerill for the most in school history. In her last four events prior to the NCAA Championships, she finished T-1, second (Pac-12 Championships), first (PING/ASU) and second (Bruin Wave Invitational). She had 20 rounds under par and 11 in the 60’s. Law, who was named All-Pac-12 First Team, finished ninth in stroke play at the NCAA Championships and never trailed in both of her match-play contests. She was the first ANNIKA Award winner to receive an exemption to compete in the Evian Championship, the final LPGA major of the year.
“For me it is such an honor to be associated with Annika,” said Law in an interview with Golf Channel’s Lisa Cornwell. “All year it has really been my goal to win the ANNIKA Award. To see such good players win it in the previous two years, to be named the winner, it means so much. Not only because you are considered one of the best players in college golf, but the fact that it is voted for by your peers, the media, and all of the coaches.”
“I can’t explain how proud I am to be a Bruin,” Law continued. “It is something I never thought I would experience.”
“I’ve known Bronte since I was 17, and she is such a hard worker, a super intense competitor,” said 2014 ANNIKA Award winner and former UCLA teammate Alison Lee. “I am super proud and she deserves everything with winning this award.”
