t the 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, the PGA Tour's annual stop in Las Vegas, the Rebel Ranch was created. The Rebel Ranch was a UNLV-branded hospitality area on the 18th fairway at TPC Summerlin that offered an up-close view of the finishing hole with indoor and outdoor seating. Special UNLV programming took place each day of the PGA Tour event, but most notable was the UNLV Men's Golf Day. The Rebels' 1998 national championship team was celebrated and many of that team's members were on hand, including head coach Dwaine Knight, to participate in a round-table discussion.

At the 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, a round-table discussion was held with Coach Knight, former Rebels on the PGA Tour and members of UNLV's 1998 national championship team. It was hosted by Jack Sheehan.

Academics

CLASSROOM SUCCESS “Success in the classroom is essential to success on the golf course, so we offer our student-athletes as much support academically as they get athletically. Academics are and must remain the top priority for our student-athletes.” -- Jeff Grandy, Men's Golf Academic Advisor Rebel Golf And Academics Rebel golf boasted yet another outstanding year in the classroom in 2014-15. Shintaro Ban, Carl Jonson, Kurt Kitayama and John Oda each received Academic AllMountain West accolades. It marked the fourth straight year Jonson and Kitayama earned the award and first time for Ban and Oda. To be eligible for selection to the Academic All-MW team, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the school while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their team. Also, Ben Davis, Jonson and Oda were named MW Scholar-Athletes. It was Jonson's fourth time on that list and first for Davis and Oda. The MW Scholar-Athlete Award is one of the highest academic honors bestowed by the conference. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have completed at least two academic terms at the member institution, while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better, and have participated in varsity competition in an NCAA-sponsored sport. In 2013-14, six Rebel golfers earned Academic All-MW honors. Over the last 11 years, a total of 43 UNLV men's golfers have earned such recognition, while since the 2004-05 season, at least one Rebel golf student-athlete has been recognized with the MW Scholar-Athlete Award. In addition, since 2000, 12 UNLV men's golfers have earned All-America Scholar honors including Jonson in back to back years (2013-15), while the program has had four Academic All-Americans. Jonson was also named the 2014-15 UNLV Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year at the athletics department's Scholar-Athlete Honors Banquet, which was held in May. As a team, the 2014-15 Rebels were recognized with the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Academic Team Award. The UNLV men’s golf program has a current string of 23 straight semesters with a 3.0 team grade point average or higher and the squad's 3.34 team GPA in the spring of 2007 was its highest since fall of 1996. In the spring of 2014, the team earned a 3.24 cumulative GPA. Former Rebel golfer Ryan Moore became just the second Rebel ever to earn Academic All-America honors when he was named to the second team in 2004-05.

ver since its first classroom opened in 1957, UNLV has been on the rise in the world of higher education. From dusty lots with only a few buildings to a lush, ever-expanding setting, the campus has continued to respond to the demands stemming from an increasing enrollment. The University boasts nationally competitive business programs and a school of hotel administration that attracts students from around the globe. But with 246 degree programs in 15 schools and colleges, UNLV offers the student-athlete an array of educational opportunities. UNLV maintains an academic support system for its student-athletes that is designed to ensure success on and off the fields of play. Housed in the Academic Success Center, academic advisors work with the 17 men’s and women’s sports ensuring student-athletes receive personalized care regarding their progress in education. Advisors work with their sport-specific student-athletes in scheduling, tutoring, degree progress and NCAA eligibility. Providing even greater challenges, students who maintain a 3.5 grade point average can apply for entrance into UNLV’s honors program.

Home Course

SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS GOLF CLUB 18TH HOLE

The finishing hole is the longest on the course, a massive 622-yard, par 5. The fairway is bisected by a stream. Playing the hole uphill and to the left is more dangerous but presents a shorter route and a better shot into the green. Taking the low road to the right will keep you out of trouble most of the way, but leaves you with a blind shot across water to the green. The choice is all yours.

hen Southern Highlands opened its doors and fairways in 2000, the advance billing foretold that it was going to be a great course, clearly one of the elite new private clubs in America. It’s apparent that the hype was totally justified. Golf Digest placed Southern Highlands in its top six best new private clubs in the country and ranked it as the best new private club in the Western U.S. How fitting, then, that the UNLV golf program, with a recent national championship and a history of being ranked near the top of the college golf standings, should choose Southern Highlands as its official home course. "Being so close to McCarran Airport, Southern Highlands is one of the first places we like to take a new recruit and his parents when they come to town," UNLV golf head coach Dwaine Knight says. "Just one look out at the course from the clubhouse veranda, with its panoramic view of the entire Las Vegas valley, provides a great first impression of our city and the wonderful facilities available to a young man considering our program.” With $40 million (exclusive of land costs) and a rare collaboration of architects Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr., Southern Highlands offers 18 distinctly beautiful and unique golf holes which honor the land upon which they are sculpted. Just six

months after the course opened, it was deemed worthy by the $4.25 million Invensys Classic PGA Tour event to join the three-course rotation. One of many holes that had the world’s best golfers buzzing was the 622-yard uphill par-5 18th, with its split fairway and 16 acres of land and meandering water and sand. The hole affords a great view of the $16 million clubhouse, where golfers convene shortly after their rounds to take in the scenery and discuss the joys and challenges of playing Southern Highlands. The collaboration between this wonderful new nationally ranked golf club and a proud UNLV championship golf program is a perfect marriage of class, beauty and distinction.

HOME OF THE REBELS â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just one look out at the course from the clubhouse veranda, with its panoramic view of the entire Las Vegas valley, provides a great first impression of our city and the wonderful facilities available to a young man considering our program.â&#x20AC;? -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight 8TH HOLE

Though the par-3 eighth hole is only 167 yards, the combination of water and sand in front of the green can make its length a bit deceiving. Club selection is critical. Trust the yardage book and make your mistakes long. Short is trouble.

17TH HOLE

No. 17 at Southern Highlands is one of the most challenging par 3's you're likely to face. It's 217 yards from the back tee with water flowing from here all the way around the peninsula green. Sand protects the front right and back left green so there's not much room for error.

5TH HOLE

The fifth hole is a short, 365-yard, par 4 that dares players to fire at the green from the tee. However, to do so, you must carry water all the way. The more prudent will use a long-iron or fairway wood from the tee and be left with a short pitch to the green.

Schedule

TRAVEL IN STYLE “Again, we are going to play against the best teams and play in the best venues to prepare us to compete for another national championship.” -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

The Rebels’ schedule will carry them from the desert southwest of Arizona and New Mexico, west to California, northwest to Oregon, east to Illinois and Ohio, down south to Alabama and Florida, and across the ocean to Hawaii. The Mountain West Championship will be played in Tucson, Ariz., for a 10th consecutive year, while the NCAA Regionals will be held at six different sites for the eighth time. The Rebels will also play right here in Las Vegas twice - in February at Reflection Bay and in March when they host the Southern Highlands Collegiate. This year's NCAA Championship will be played in Eugene, Ore., at Eugene Country Club.

To help its student-athletes balance the rigorous demands of the college curriculum with its intense travel schedule, UNLV flies to some of its tournaments via private jet. Thanks to the support of many local enterprises, the Rebels are able to reduce both travel time and missed classes, and find more opportunities to focus on academics.

Physical Therapy

THE FINEST CARE

Kleven speaks at Rebel Golf Day at Southern Highlands Golf Club.

The Rebels take advantage of state-of-the-art workout facilities and physical therapy equipment.

ebel golfers have the incomparable opportunity to come under the tutelage of one of the nation’s leaders in physical therapy, Keith Kleven. A clinical educator and researcher, Kleven has bachelor’s and master’s degrees and served a one year residency in physical therapy under the school of Physical Therapy and Medicine at the University of Southern California, and is a certified athletic trainer. Kleven has been a groundbreaker in his emerging field for decades and has been directly involved with the UNLV golf program since 1989. He was inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame as part of its 2005 class. Currently the owner/director of the Keith Kleven Institute of Orthopaedic Sports and Dance Rehabilitation in Las Vegas, he is a clinical instructor for 18 colleges KEITH KLEVEN and universities as well as the personal trainer and Professor of Physical Therapy therapist for many U.S. sports teams, professional teams, professional athletes and entertainers. Tiger Woods, Mark O’Meara, Chris Riley, John Cook and Emilee Klein are just some of the professional golfers who have worked with Kleven. “Keith has been with us from the start, and I think, physically, there is no better trainer in the world,” said UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight. “You can see who has trained with him: Mark O’Meara, Tiger Woods, plus our team and all the other great athletes. He is absolutely the best. If a person is really serious about playing professional golf and reaching the highest level they can, he is the kind of trainer you would look for. He is so individually specific, which is what makes him such a valuable part of our program. We are very fortunate to have him on campus as a professor and have him in our program. There is no question that without his support and help we would not be a top program.” Presently doing research in injury prevention and training to enhance golf performance, Kleven is also the author of numerous articles and is a highly sought-after speaker.

If a person is really serious about playing professional golf and reaching the highest level they can, he is the kind of trainer you would look for.” -- Head coach Dwaine Knight

UNLV Golf had a unique evening during the 1994 Las Vegas Invitational when four PGA players under the care of Keith Kleven gathered to meet the squad. From stroke techniques to the advantages of staying in school, the informal Q&A session offered insight into the life of a professional golfer. Giving free tips that night were (L-R): Dennis Watson, Dwaine Knight, Paul Azinger, Prof. Keith Kleven, Lenny Clements and John Cook.

Kleven's work with Tiger Woods was featured in this Men's Fitness Magazine issue.

Mental Training

THE FINEST CARE “Golf is such a mental game, and Mark's expertise lies in making the connection between being mentally prepared and then allowing the body and the muscles to carry through with that preparation." -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

n addition to the various physical and academic support systems available to UNLV student-athletes, the Rebel golf team also has the advantage of mental training, under the supervision of Dr. Mark Guadagnoli. Guadagnoli, a professor in UNLV's Department of Kinesiology, also serves as a mental training consultant for the Rebels. A professor at the school since 1991, this will mark Guadagnoli's 14th season working with the Rebel golf team. “The way these elite golfers play the game requires intensity, focus, and a great deal of athleticism,” Guadagnoli said. “My job is to help them achieve their best, on and off the course." "We are extremely fortunate to have someone of Mark's ability and experience right here on campus," UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight said. "Golf is such a mental game, and Mark's expertise lies in making the connection between being mentally prepared and then allowing the body and the muscles to carry through with that preparation. His resume and reputation speak for themselves and we are lucky to have that advantage." Guadagnoli has spent the past 20-plus years working as a consultant to Olympic, collegiate, and professional athletes in several sports, but he specializes in working with golfers. Golfers at all levels have worked under his tutelage, including players on the PGA and LPGA tours as well as participants of the U.S. Amateur, Walker Cup, and Palmer Cup. Guadagnoli has worked with golfers at the Masters, U.S. Open and other PGA events. Guadagnoli began studying human performance late in his undergraduate days at Texas A&M, where he received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Kinesiology. He then worked as a Research Psychologist for the Army Research Institute for Behavioral Sciences while completing the requirements for a dual doctorate in human performance and cognitive psychology from Auburn University. Despite his heavy workload, Guadagnoli earned high praise. He was

voted the Most Outstanding Graduate Student of the department, college, and university, the Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year by the Office of Special Programs, and was awarded the prestigious William Revington Outstanding Leadership Award. The praise has continued at UNLV, where he has earned Researcher of the Year and the department, college, and university's Teacher of the MARK GUADAGNOLI Year Awards, and has many Mental Training Consultant times been voted Outstanding Kinesiology Faculty Member of the Year by a Scholar-Athlete, CSUN, and Alumni Association representative. With an impressive resume that is pages long, Guadagnoli has published more than 100 articles and abstracts and has presented his work around the world. He has lectured at several universities including Harvard University, UCLA, and USC and has been featured in the New York Times, Time Magazine, Golf Digest, USA Today, The History Channel, and CBS Sports. In the summer of 2010, the 2nd edition of his book "Practice to Learn, Play to Win" was published with contributions from former Rebel golfer and current PGA Tour player Ryan Moore.

Guadagnoli's book "Practice to Learn, Play to Win" was published in 2007 and includes contributions from former Rebel golfer and current PGA Tour player Ryan Moore.

Athletic Training

THE FINEST CARE “This is one of the top complexes in the nation because of the versatility it offers to service student-athletes in every area of sports medicine.” -- Kyle Wilson, UNLV Director of Athletic Training

ay-to-day preventative medicine on the campus was made easier with the opening of the Marilyn and Si Redd Sports Medicine Complex. The state-of-the-art operation is a major part of the $8.5 million Lied Athletic Complex. Made possible by a generous gift of $1.5 million by Marilyn and Si Redd, the athletic training facility incorporates the total scope of sports medicine over an 8,500-square-foot area. Aside from five staff offices, a rehabilitation room houses a dozen pieces of equipment including Cybex stationary bicycles, stair machines and treadmills, all under a natural skylight. The largest area features a dozen tables to offer student-athletes various treatments throughout the day. Taping, padding and bracing all take place in another all-inclusive room. Finally, an aquatic therapy room features three above-ground whirlpools surrounding a 10-feet deep pool for rehabilitative exercises. All of these features make it possible for UNLV student-athletes to rehabilitate injuries without ever needing to leave the Lied Athletic Complex. Other amenities include a physician’s office and exam room to provide daily medical service for student-athletes. A drug-testing facility also is part of the new complex. This expedites medical care because the student-athletes' health care is self-contained. Also, UNLV’s academic program and its student athletic trainers benefit from a sports medicine library, study room and conference facility. “Aside from being four times larger than our former facility,” says Kyle

Rebels On The Web

njoying a complete redesign several years ago, the official UNLV athletics website UNLVRebels. com has steadily expanded in both content and usership since its premiere in 1997. As one of the hundreds of official athletic sites that make up the CBSSports.com College Network, the Rebels’ home on the internet features in-depth, updated information 24 hours a day. The official UNLV athletic website takes advantage of a number of CBSSports.com College Network online fea-

tures, including its exclusive GameTracker technology, allowing Rebel fans to follow live simulated game action, details and full play-by-play. The site also houses the Rebels’ online store, which provides officially licensed merchandise and apparel. Also, UNLVRebels.com is your home for Rebel TV, which is a popular online service that features the most in-depth coverage of Rebel sports through exclusive audio and video content, including live games streamed via broadband, special features, highlights, press conferences, coaches’ shows and much more.

he new UNLVMensGolf.com powered by the Las Vegas Founders Club has recently launched. The site is dedicated just to the UNLV men's golf program and is the home of all things Rebel Golf. The in-depth site was made possible by a generous gift from the Founders and includes the season's schedule, information on the coaches and support staff, Rebels on the PGA Tour, the many traditions of the program, the fine facilities available to the team, information for recruits, a blog and so much more.

2015-16 Rebels Playing for national titles. That is, and has been for quite some time, the goal of the UNLV men's golf team under head coach Dwaine Knight, who is in his 29th year at the helm of the program. Under his watch, the Rebels have captured a team national title, two individual national championships and four NCAA Regional team titles. The perennial power has been so successful through the years that it has become expected with each and every season that the team will compete for the national crown. The Rebels have played in the national finals 19 times, with all of those appearances coming in the last 27 years under Knight. Last year's squad continued its NCAA-record streak of 27 straight regional appearances and advanced to the national finals for the second time in the last three seasons, turning in a 26th-place finish. "Our goals as a program are at the very top," said Knight. "We want to try to win a national championship compete for a national championship. That’s our goal each and every year, so whether we are experienced or we are young, our goal is to be up there at the end. We try to win tournaments along the way so that when we get to regionals and we get to the finals, we have a chance to do what we did a few years ago and that is get to the Elite Eight, where we were one shot out of getting to the Final Four. That's where we want to play, that’s where we want to be and that’s where we expect to be." It is the hope of Coach Knight that the experience gained from last year's success translates into lessons learned for his young 2015-16 squad. This year's team has just one senior on it. "A young team is probably the definition of our group this year," Knight said. "It is always fun when you get a new group of guys like this to see where you can go with them." The lone senior on this year's squad is AJ McInerney, a local product from Henderson, Nev. Beginning his fourth year with the Rebels, he has played in 29 career tournaments and has seen action in 84 rounds. McInerney has recorded 11 top-20 finishes in his career and has 19 rounds at par or better. He is also a standout in the classroom as he made the Dean's Honor List for the second straight time last year and has been named to the Academic All-Mountain West team on two occasions. "We have good leadership at the top with AJ," Knight said. "I think he is really starting to get healthy. He has had some issues with his back and has worked really hard to be physically fit. It is something that a lot of players have to deal with, but his issues have come a little earlier in his career. I think he is learning how to manage it though and play at a high level with it." During his junior season playing college tournaments, McInerney's best finish was a tie for second at the

Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational. Then, in the summer, he won the 2015 Nevada State Match Play Championship by defeating former Rebel All-American and former PGA Tour player Edward Fryatt. "We were really excited that AJ won that match-play tournament over Ed," Knight said. "So I think he is coming into this season with some confidence. He has really stepped it up in the gym also. He has taken control of the team as a senior leader and we are going to really need that with this group. I think he is ready to have a great senior year. "The real key for us this year will be the players that played a lot for us in getting to the national championship last year," Knight said. "Along with AJ, John Oda and Shintaro Ban are going to be very important for us. We are going to be looking for good scores day in and day out from all of them. They are all capable of putting some low numbers up, so I think that is going to be our core and then we will be moving players in and out to make up the full team." Oda is a sophomore is from Honolulu, Hawaii, while Ban is also a sophomore from San Jose, Calif. Oda was a recipient of the MW Scholar-Athlete Award and a member of the Academic All-MW team last year. In addition to making the Dean's Honor List, he was named honorable mention All-America and was also selected to the PING All-West Region team. Oda also earned the MW Freshman of the Year award and made the All-MW team. Named the Rebels' most valuable player last year with the Earl E. Wilson award, he recorded nine top-20 finishes in 12 events and won his first career tournament at the Sea Best Invitational. He placed second

on two other occasions. He shot 12 rounds in the 60s, including a career-low 64 on three occasions and he also led the team in scoring average with 71.11, which is the fourth-lowest seasonal average in program history and lowest by a freshman, shattering the old mark by 1.44 shots per round. During the summer, he played in the USGA Amateur Championship, the Western Amateur, the Sahalee Players Championship and was selected to represent the USGA at Carnoustie in Scotland at The British Amateur Championship. He made the round of 36 there. "I think it is important to play a 'world' type of amateur schedule and John certainly played that with a lot of amateur tournaments this summer," Knight said. "I think the highlight was going to Britain and playing in the British Amateur and making it to match play over there. He had some good tournaments and also got to the match-play finals of the U.S. Amateur. He had a good year for us last year. "His wrist injury during the conference tournament was unfortunate because I think he was the best player in the conference at that time and would have had a great shot at winning that. But injuries are something that our game produces and you have to learn how to deal with them. He became an All-American last year, an all-conference player and was the league's Freshman of the Year, so I think he really made a statement as a player and as a student. We are just at the beginning of him really taking off and being outstanding." Ban was also named to the Academic All-MW team. He played in eight tournaments and recorded three top-20 finishes with six rounds at par or better. He had two rounds in the 60s and his best finish was a tie for 13th at the MW Championship.

Season Outlook

The 2015-16 UNLV men's golf team: (Left to Right): Mental Training Consultant Mark Guadagnoli, Shintaro Ban, Chris Tuulik, Justin Chong, Head Coach Dwaine Knight, Ben Davis, John Oda, Redford Bobbitt, AJ McInerney, Harry Hall, Taylor Montgomery, Assistant Coach Philip Rowe. During the summer he tied for 10th at the California State Amateur (lost in the round of 16), tied for seventh at the Sahalee Players Championship and tied for eighth at the Pacific Northwest Amateur, losing in the finals. "We are going to have a young team, no question about it, but we do have a couple of sophomores and juniors that have been here and have some experience. We will see how they get in the mix. I think we will be very competitive at home during qualifying for tournaments and that is exactly the way we want it." Other returning players are juniors Taylor Montgomery, Redford Bobbitt and Chris Tuulik, along with sophomore Ben Davis. Montgomery, also a local product from Henderson, Nev., has appeared in 17 tournaments during his career, totaling 49 rounds. His career scoring average of 73.33 ranks 20th in program history. He has seven career top-20 finishes, including four top-10s and three top-fives. He has tallied 18 rounds at par or better and his best career finish was last season when he took home medalist honors at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational. Last season, he had four rounds in the 60s, including a career-low 65. He has also earned Academic All-MW honors and

made the Dean's Honor List. His father Monte also played golf at UNLV (1989-92) and was a secondteam All-American (1992). They are the first father-son combo to ever play for Coach Knight. Bobbitt is from San Diego, Calif., and has appeared in eight career tournaments, totaling 23 rounds. Last year he recorded two top-20 finishes in three tournaments played, including a top-10 and shot five rounds at par or better. He turned in the best finish of his career at the Jackrabbit Invitational, finishing sixth and he also tied for 18th at the Southern Highlands Collegiate where he held the individual lead after each of the first two rounds. Bobbitt shot three rounds in the 60s last season, including career lows of 65 twice. He has also previously earned Academic All-MW honors and was a MW Scholar-Athlete Award recipient. Tuulik, also from San Diego, Calif., has appeared in eight tournaments, totalling 22 rounds. Last year he played in two tournaments for UNLV, but during the summer he tied for second at the U.S. Amateur Qualifying to become an alternate for the tournament. He also qualified for and made the cut at the 2015 California State Open. He previously was named to the Academic All-MW team and was on the Dean's Honor List.

Davis is from Las Vegas, Nev., and earned the MW Scholar-Athlete Award last year. He played in three tournaments and shot two rounds of par or better. He also tied for 18th at the Callaway Junior Worlds during the summer. New to the program this season are freshmen Justin Chong and Harry Hall. Chong is from Granada Hills, Calif., while Hall hails from Hayle, England. Chong is a 2015 graduate of the Valley Academy of the Arts & Science. He spent four years as the Vipers team captain and also was the team's MVP all four years. He won the 2013 ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior and placed in the top 15 for the Southern California PGA Junior Tour's Toyota Tour Cup Series 13 times. By winning the tournament at Mission Hills, he joined an illustrious list of champions including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Cantlay, Sihwan Kim and former Rebels James Oh, Seung su Han and Ryan Keeney. Hall is a 2015 graduate of Truro College (high school) in Cornwall, England. He was a member of the England U18 Boys International Team that won the Home Internationals and he was responsible for the point that ensured England's victory in the event. He was also England's Under 16 team captain and was the No. 1 player on Cornwall's men's team that won the English Men's County Championship. In addition, he was one of a team of six to represent England in the European Boys Team Championship in Finland in 2015, finishing in a tie for 16th out of 96 golfers. He made the cut at the 2015 British Amateur. The Rebels always play one of the most challenging schedules of any team in the country and the 2015-16 slate looks to be no different. " We open the season at probably one of the hardest golf courses these kids will ever play - Olympia Fields in Chicago where the U.S. Open was played a few years back," Knight said. "It is going to be very important for us to get off to a good start. I think it has one of the toughest fields that we will play all year long. "From there we go to Albuquerque, N.M. (Knight's hometown) and play at UNM South which has hosted national championships. It is a great facility and we have a lot of great memories there. We always want to be competitive on that course. Then we go out to the Jerry Pate in Alabama, where two of the last three national championship teams have come from so that will be very tough. And then we finish the fall at Isleworth, which is another one of the great courses in our nation. "We will be very tested in the fall, which is good. It will give us a good indication of where we are, but more importantly where we need to go. These guys will come through that test and really understand where their games need to be, because those are very difficult golf courses and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the national championship is going to be like." 23

2014-15 Notebook 2014-15 POSTSEASON RECAP The UNLV menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team made its NCAA-record 27th straight appearance at a NCAA Regional in 2015, advancing to the national finals for a 19th time after finishing third in Noblesville, Ind. The Rebels tied for 26th at the finals. Prior to NCAA play, the Rebels placed second at the Mountain West Championship in Tucson, Ariz., finishing just two shots back of team champion San Diego State.

He won the individual title at the MW Championship, placed sixth at the regional and tied for 59th at the NCAA finals.

HEAD COACH DWAINE KNIGHT UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight finished his 28th year at the helm of the Rebel program in 2014-15. During his tenure, UNLV has been a perennial power with six league championships and 19 NCAA Championship finals appearances. His 1998 squad won the national championship and he has coached the team to 10 top-eight finishes at the finals. He has also tutored two individual national champions (Warren Schutte, 1991; Ryan Moore, 2004). Knight was the only mentor to twice claim GCAA National Coach of the Year honors in the 1990s (1991 and 1998) and he has produced an amazing 43 All-Americans, 73 all-conference players and has guided 11 different players to the PGA Tour from UNLV.

REGIONAL RECORD STREAK The Rebels earned their 27th consecutive invitation to a NCAA Regional in 2015, which ties the NCAA record for most consecutive appearances all-time (with Oklahoma State - also 1989-2015). UNLV has finished in the top five at the regional 18 times, has four team titles (1990, 1994, 1997 and 2005) and boasts three individual medalists (Hub Goyen, 1990; Warren Schutte, 1991; Ed Fryatt, 1994).

Shintaro Ban, Carl Jonson, Kurt Kitayama and John Oda each received Academic AllMountain West accolades. It marked the fourth straight year Jonson and Kitayama earned the award and first time for Ban and Oda. To be eligible for selection to the Academic All-MW team, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the school while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their team.

MOUNTAIN WEST SCHOLAR-ATHLETES

REBELS RECORD MULTIPLE WINS DURING 2014-15

Ben Davis, Carl Jonson and John Oda were named MW Scholar-Athletes for 2014-15. It was Jonson's fourth time on that list and first for Davis and Oda.

seniors Carl Jonson and Kurt Kitayama, along with Oda, were honored. It marked the second straight year that Jonson and Kitayama were named to the all-conference squad.

MW GOLFER OF THE WEEK

As a team, UNLV won two tournaments during the 201415 season: the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo., and the Jackrabbit Invitational in Primm, Nev. The squad turned in four individual wins over the course of the season: sophomore Taylor Montgomery at the Falcon Invitational, freshman John Oda at the Sea Best Invitational in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and senior Kurt Kitayama twice: at the Jackrabbit and the Mountain West Championship. That tied for the most individual wins in a season by a Rebel squad in history. In addition, the team finished in the top five on nine occasions, including the top three seven times. The Rebels entered the national finals with five straight top-five appearances, including a second-place showing at the MW Championship and a third-place effort at the NCAA Regional.

Senior Kurt Kitayama was named the Mountain West Men’s Golfer of the Week on March 18, 2015. It was his third career golfer of the month/week accolade. He won that week for pacing the field at the Jackrabbit Invitational after carding a career-low 19-under-par 197, including rounds of 67-64-66. It was the second straight year he took home medalist honors at the event. His 19-under 197 was the second-lowest individual score in UNLV men’s golf history for a 54-hole tournament and he posted sub-70 scores in each round of a tournament for the first time in his career. In addition, his 8-underpar 64 in the second round was a career low and it also equaled the second-lowest round in Rebel history. He also finished tied for 11th at the Southern Highlands Collegiate, which annually features one of the toughest fields in all of college golf. For the period that was considered for the honor, he averaged 68.3 strokes per round in the two tournaments.

BIG ACADEMIC HONORS

GOING LOW!

Senior Carl Jonson led those recognized at the 30th Annual UNLV Scholar-Athlete Honors Banquet in May. Jonson was named the school’s Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He was a business major from Bainbridge Island, Wash., who has been recognized as a member of the Academic All-MW Team and a MW ScholarAthlete. In addition, he was in the top-10 percent of all student-athletes at UNLV and on the Dean’s List. He was twice named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon AllAmerica Scholar and has been selected to the All-MW and PING All-West Region squads. Also, senior Kurt Kitayama was named UNLV men’s golf’s StudentAthlete Academic Champion, which goes to each sport’s most well-rounded leaders that demonstrate great academic achievement in addition to maintaining a productive role in their respective sport. Athletic

When UNLV won the team title at the Jackrabbit Invitational, it posted a remarkably low score. The combined 60-under 804 (272-267-265) was a program record and just three strokes shy of the all-time NCAA mark. It was the Rebels’ second straight victory in the event and the squad’s second team title of the season.

MOUNTAIN WEST FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR / ALL-MW For the first time since 2011, a UNLV men’s golfer was selected as the Mountain West’s Freshman of the Year. John Oda was announced as the 2014-15 winner following the MW Championship. In addition, for the second straight year, three UNLV men’s golfers were selected to the 10-person All-MW Men’s Golf Team as

or the 41st time, many of the nation's top collegiate programs will showcase their talent at the Southern Highlands Collegiate. Hosted by UNLV and the Las Vegas Founders, this prestigious men's golf event annually lures the country's best to compete in the desert. In fact, on an almost annual basis, the event is ranked as the No. 1 tournament in all of collegiate golf in strength of schedule by Golfweek. Established in 1974, the tournament has undergone various format changes, promoted a half-dozen sponsors and survived a two-year hiatus in its 40-year history. It began as the Rebel Collegiate Golf Classic, a small, six-team, 36-hole fall event for Division I programs in the West. To efficiently utilize resources, play was split between the Dunes Country Club and Las Vegas Country Club, and no practice rounds were permitted on either course. Arizona State defeated BYU by a single stroke, and the Rebels finished fourth overall in year one. Since then, the tournament has gone through a myriad of changes. A third round was added in 1975, but counted the lowest five scores of a six-man squad. By 1984, a standard 4-of-5 scoring system was introduced. And it wasn't until 1988 that newly hired head coach Dwaine Knight was able to secure Desert Inn Country Club to host all three rounds, eliminating the rotating course format. The tournament was abandoned in 1996 before UNLV and Golf Digest resurrected it the following season. Moving play to the spring portion of the schedule, the Golf Digest Collegiate Invitational featured one of the richest fields to play in Las Vegas. In 2002, the tournament became known as the Toyota Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegiate and was played at the Rebels' home course, Southern Highlands Golf Club. The tournament then became known simply as the Southern Highlands Collegiate Championship before another name change in 2010 to the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters. It is now known as just the Southern Highlands Collegiate. The SHC wouldn't be possible without the help of Garry Goett, President of Southern Highlands Golf Club, and the Rebel golf program is very appreciative of all of his efforts. Despite its frequent facelifts, the tourney consistently features the nation's top young golf talent. Jay Don Blake, Stewart Cink, David Duval, Ed Fryatt, David Gossett, Billy Mayfair, Ryan Moore, Phil Mickelson and Camilo Villegas are all former winners that have gone on to PGA Tour success. Other PGA veterans on the tournament's list of "alumni" are Rich Beem, Robert Gamez, Bob May, Paul Stankowski and Scott Verplank along with former Rebels Chad Campbell, Chris Riley, Adam Scott, Skip Kendall, Jeremy Anderson, Ed Fryatt, Charley Hoffman and Derek Ernst. The individual medalist trophy was named the Jimmy Pettyjohn Trophy in 2006, in memory of the former Rebel Golf Foundation Board member. UNLV holds the tourney record with 11 titles, while Arizona State is two back at nine. The Rebels have won three straight on two separate occasions: from 1993-95 and from 2008-10. UNLV has also won seven of the last 11 overall and six of the last eight.

Once again, picturesque Southern Highlands Golf Club will serve as the host course, as it has since 2002. The Southern Highlands Collegiate has been ranked No. 1 in strength of schedule throughout the years by Golfweek.

REBELS SEEK 20TH NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE IN 2016

he yardstick by which success is measured in college golf is undoubtedly the NCAA Championship. While plenty of other tournaments carry prestige and feature luxurious and exclusive courses, the NCAA finals are always the pinnacle of the college golf season. In 2016, UNLV will be seeking its 20th appearance at the national finals. The Rebels have qualified for 19 NCAA finals since Dwaine Knight took over the program, including three seasons ago, which saw the Rebels tie for sixth to advance to the Elite Eight. UNLV has enjoyed much success at the finals, finishing in the top eight on 10 different occasions and in the top 15, 12 times. The Rebels won it all at the 1998 NCAA Championship and had a runner-up finish in 1996. Additionally, two UNLV individuals have brought home the national title (Warren Schutte in 1991 and Ryan Moore in 2004). The Rebels will be looking for their second national team title when play begins at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore. The NCAA finals will be held May 27-June 1, 2016. A new format was introduced seven years ago. Following 54 holes of stroke play, a cut is made to the top 15 teams and nine individuals not on those teams. A fourth round of stroke play is held and the individual champion is crowned. The field is then cut to the low eight teams, which advance to match-play until a team champion emerges. Thirty teams qualify for the NCAA Championship finals, but instead of coming from three regions like in the past, six sites now host NCAA Regionals. The Rebels have been to a NCAA-record 27 straight regionals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach, you are on a roll for developing such great players AND quality kids."

--- Jim Nantz Broadcaster, CBS Sports "The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf education, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories. UNLV is a part of the journey that I am on and taught me so much. I am a proud Rebel!"

--- Adam Scott Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour star "Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can't even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the difference between winning and losing."

--- Ryan Moore Former UNLV star and current PGA Tour golfer "If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight and Keith Kleven will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level."

--- Hank Haney Leading golf instructor "I couldn't be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight. Coach worked with me from the start and helped me with my short game and I saw immediate improvements. I still almost exclusively work with Coach on my short game. UNLV was the perfect university to go to for helping me get to where I am now in my career."

--- Chad Campbell Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour player "Coach Knight has the ability to keep the putting process very simple and his teaching sessions are always a positive experience. No matter where you are with your putting stroke, he can bring you around to a comfortable stroke that you can trust. He took me from an average putter entering college to a putting stroke which has allowed me to earn a living on the PGA Tour. I respect Dwaine for his willingness to work with all levels of golfers; he is a true teacher of the game."

--- Charley Hoffman Former UNLV golfer and current PGA Tour player

Coaching Staff

two-time National Coach of the Year and 2002 GCAA Hall of Fame inductee, Dwaine Knight has been the driving force behind the tremendous success of Rebel Golf since his arrival in Las Vegas in the fall of

1987. Knight, who is in his 29th season at the helm of the UNLV men’s golf program, has nurtured Rebel golf from near-anonymity to one of the premier programs in the nation. In 1998, he guided the Rebels to their first-ever NCAA crown in Albuquerque, N.M. Knight has taken the Rebels to an unprecedented 19 trips to the national finals and coached them to 10 top-eight finishes. Additionally, he has led his team to a current NCAA-record 27 straight appearances at the NCAA Regionals. Under his tutelage, the Rebels earned their first-ever No. 1 ranking in 1993 and following the 1997-98 season, the team finished No. 1 in the nation in all polls. A true teacher of the sport, Knight has tutored 43 All-Americans at UNLV, a National Player of the Year, a National Freshman of the Year, a U.S. Amateur Champion, three U.S. Public Links Champions, three Walker Cup participants and six Palmer Cup representatives. Additionally, two former Rebel golfers have gone on to play for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup. Knight has captured three national titles (one team championship and two individuals), has won six conference championships and has developed 73 all-conference players. Since 1998, Knight has helped 12 Rebel golfers earn the All-America Scholar award and four have been named Academic AllAmericans. "I am very proud of what we have accomplished at UNLV in my time here," Knight said. "I can

remember the first time we qualified for nationals (in 1989) and how excited we were just to make it there. Now I feel that we have moved to the next level where our players expect to go to nationals and are ready to compete for the national championship every year. “Winning our three national titles (one team in 1998 and two individuals in 1991 and 2004) has been a dream come true for myself and the school. We felt that as a team we had been a serious contender prior to winning it all, and to get over the top really legitimized our program. Winning those championships is a reflection of the outstanding young men that we have had in our program and all of the hard work and effort they have given through the years, both on and off the golf course." Since Knight came to UNLV, 11 of his players have gone on to play on the PGA TOUR and nine of those are still active and have combined for 25 PGA Tour titles, including Adam Scott's win at the 2013 Masters. Knight came to UNLV from the University of New Mexico, where he served as the head coach from 1978-87. Eight of his players earned All-American honors and 14 were tabbed All-WAC. He led the Lobos to a league crown in 1979 and a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships that same year. In all, he led New

Dwaine Knight Mexico to eight appearances in the national finals, including two top-10 finishes. Want to honor Knight? Well, join the club. The only two-time winner in the '90s of the GCAA National Coach of the Year award (1991 and 1998), Knight was also proclaimed Golfweek National Coach of the Year in 1998, earned Coach of the Year honors at the conference level four times (1979, 1989, 1998 and 2002) and at the district tier four times (District VII in 1981, District VIII in 1991, 1998 and 2005). He has been inducted to four Halls of Fame - the GCAA, the Southern Nevada Golf Association, the Southern Nevada Sports and the Las Vegas Golf. In 2008, his 1998 National Champion squad was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame and in 2009 he was named the Southern Nevada Chapter's PGA Golf Professional of the Year. His most recent honor was being named the 2012 Sportsperson of the Year by ESPN Radio in Las Vegas. As its honoree, he was extremely active in charitable efforts benefitting the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation and The Caring Place. He reached the pinnacle of coaching honors during the summer of 1997 when he was chosen as the United States' captain for the inaugural Palmer Cup. "It was a real honor to be thought of so highly by your peers," Knight said of his selection as captain. "But it's a real reflection on the type of players we've had and the support we've received from the university and the Las Vegas community. That's where the real credit goes."

An accomplished golfer in his own right, Knight played four seasons at New Mexico (1966-69) and played on the 1967 team that won the WAC championship and placed ninth at nationals. Knight then spent five years (1972-77) on the PGA Tour, winning his first tournament -- the Southwest PGA Championship -- as early as his second season. After leaving the tour, Knight replaced Dick McGuire as New Mexico's head coach in 1978. Knight remains a member of the Professional Golfers Association. Knight and his wife Debbie have a daughter, Keely.

Captain Knight helped lead the United States Team to a Palmer Cup Victory in 1997. Coach Knight was recognized at halftime of a Runnin' Rebel game for being ESPN Radio's Sportsperson of the Year in 2012. As its honoree, he was extremely active in charitable efforts benefitting the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation and The Caring Place.

Knight is in his 29th year leading the Rebel program. He is pictured here with former Rebel All-American and current PGA Tour star Ryan Moore.

Helping Players Get To The Next Level PGA Tour players Charley Hoffman, Ryan Moore, Chad Campbell, Chris Riley, Adam Scott, Bill Lunde and Skip Kendall all played collegiately at UNLV and learned from Coach Knight, who many say is one of the top short game instructors in the world. --- GolfLasVegasNow.com (2011)

y the time many young golfers get to college, they have spent years with swing instructors with hopes to master techniques to drive the ball longer and straighter and hit irons with perfection. However, not too many work specifically with putting and short game techniques in mind. For Dwaine Knight, the experience of playing on the PGA Tour was valuable, but something he treasures was the chance to work with some outstanding teachers throughout the years - teachers that focused on short-game and putting techniques. Using the knowledge he gained from those individuals along with the experience he gained playing on Tour and then years later as a college coach, Knight has been able to develop a system that has helped his students achieve their goals. Along with working with golfers in the UNLV program, Knight continues to help instruct a number of PGA Tour players and other professional golfers as they continue their quests to be the best. Even with the improvement in technology, the ideas and theories that Knight learned in the early days of the Tour are very relevant to the way good putting and the short game is understood today. With the facilities available to Knight and UNLV, the physical training program that he and Keith Kleven have developed and the teaching opportunities that Knight provides, UNLV is one of the top programs in the nation in helping players reach the next level in their careers.

What They Are Saying.... “Coach Knight has the ability to keep the putting process very simple and his teaching sessions are always a positive experience. No matter where you are with your putting stroke, he can bring you around to a comfortable stroke that you can trust. He took me from an average putter entering college to a putting stroke which has allowed me to earn a living on the PGA Tour. I respect Dwaine for his willingness to work with all levels of golfers; he is a true teacher of the game.”

--- Charley Hoffman, Former Rebel golfer, 3-time PGA Tour Champion

“I couldn’t be where I am today without the program at UNLV and Coach Knight. Coach worked with me from the start and helped me with my short game and I saw immediate improvements. I still almost exclusively work with Coach on my short game. He seems to know exactly what I need to work on, even now. I can’t thank Coach and UNLV enough for all they have done for me. It was the perfect university to go to for helping me get to where I am now in my career.”

--- Chad Campbell, Former Rebel golfer, 4-time PGA Tour champion, 2004, 2006, 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup Team

“If a young golfer has the dream of playing on the PGA Tour, there is no better place to play college golf than UNLV. Dwaine Knight and Keith Kleven will help you learn what it takes to be successful at the next level.”

--- Hank Haney, Leading Golf Instructor

“Coach Knight must be congratulated on all of his success. Two Ryder Cup players and a U.S. Amateur champion - something must be working.”

Coach Knight works with former Rebel golfer and four-time PGA Tour champion Chad Campbell on his putting at The Masters.

“Everywhere I go in the golf market, people mention Coach Knight’s name with the highest respect. Whether it be David Leadbetter or his instructors Frank Thomas, Goeff Mangum or Robert Winters, they all agree his reputation is outstanding.”

--- Dr. Christian Marquardt, Founder - Science&Motion Golf Labs Europe

“He made me understand what was supposed to happen on the putting green. Once I understood that, it seemed easy. He really changed the way I thought about it and my attitude. He helped me go from being one of the worst putters in college to one of the best.”

--- Warren Schutte, Former Rebel golfer, 1991 NCAA Individual Champion

“I believe in the knowledge and understanding he has of the short game. His ability to communicate along with the fundamentals that he has taught me have definitely made me a more confident and aggressive player on and around the greens.”

--- Boyd Summerhays, PGA Tour player

“He kept things so simple and he stressed the importance of it (short game). Everybody wants to go out and hit balls and get on the driving range but he made us practice and it paid off.”

--- Ed Fryatt, Former Rebel golfer, PGA Tour player

“I have met many of Coach Knight’s former players and they all have nothing but praise for him and the UNLV golf program, as it should be. I am sure he is enjoying the fruits of his hard work over many years.”

--- David Leadbetter, Leading Golf Instructor

--- Jim Nantz, Broadcaster - CBS Sports

“The golf program at UNLV played a big part in my golf education, helping me to prepare for life on Tour. Great facilities to use, great competition to play in and great friends made. I look back at my time at UNLV and have great memories. UNLV is a part of the journey that I am on and taught me so much. I am a proud Rebel!”

“He keeps it real simple and everything is consistent. He knows everyone is built differently and has a different style, but he works with what you have and he is just great at it. He knows what he is doing.”

--- Adam Scott, Former Rebel golfer, 11-time PGA Tour champion, Masters champion

--- Justin Lee, Former Rebel golfer “Thank you for everything Coach!”

--- Derek Ernst, Former Rebel golfer, PGA Tour Champion

“Coach Knight is an incredible short game instructor and he has a vast knowledge of the game of golf. One of the things he constantly emphasized was the importance of the finishing holes in every tournament. I can’t even begin to count how many times his words rang true, with the finishing holes making the difference between winning and losing.”

--- Ryan Moore, Former Rebel golfer, 2004 NCAA Individual Champion, 4-time PGA Tour Champion “I have never met anybody who knows as much as he does about the short game and putting. Coach Knight has a lot of wisdom about it and the way he sets up to the putter is just awesome.”

--- Chris Riley, Former Rebel golfer, PGA Tour champion, 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup Team “Coach, keep up the good work.”

--- Tiger Woods, 79-time PGA Tour Champion, 14 Major Championships “What makes him so great is he has learned from one of the best short game players in the world - George Low. He has a lot of information on short game and putting, which happens to be the most important part of the game and the great thing is he is willing to share it.”

--- Bob May, PGA Tour player

“UNLV: Great Program, Great City, Great Golf Team, Great Place to go to School.”

--- Butch Harmon, World-Renown Golf Instructor

Coach Knight is considered one of the leading teachers of putting and the short game and has written numerous articles on the subject.

Coaching Staff

“Philip came to us from one of the very elite programs in the country where he was a player as well as an assistant coach. He not only has a wealth of playing knowledge, skill and accomplishment, but also outstanding credentials in recruiting both domestically and worldwide.” -- Head Coach Dwaine Knight

hilip Rowe is in his second year as assistant coach for the UNLV men's golf program. Before coming to UNLV in 2014, he spent four years as assistant coach for the men's golf program at Stanford, his alma mater. "I am very excited to have Philip on our staff," UNLV head men's golf coach Dwaine Knight said. "He came to us from one of the very elite programs in the country where he was a player as well as an assistant coach. He not only brings a wealth of playing knowledge, skill and accomplishment, but also outstanding credentials in recruiting both domestically and worldwide." A four-year letterwinner for the Cardinal from 1999-2002, Rowe came back to Stanford after eight years of competing on various world tours, including a fiveyear stint playing on the professional circuit in France. Rowe won four world-wide tournaments as a professional, including a pair at the Open de La Réunion, and was ranked ninth by the Allianz Golf Tour in 2009. Rowe also was the attached touring professional golfer for the Trevose Golf & Country Club near Padstow, Cornwall (England) from 2005-10. He was a two-time Academic All-American at Stanford, captained the team as a senior and posted team-low scoring averages of 72.8 in 2001 and 71.8 in 2002. Rowe captured the 2002 U.S. Intercollegiate Championship held at Stanford and earned honorable mention All-America honors as a senior. A native of Cornwall, England, Rowe played for the England Boys Team at age 16, and competed with the Great Britain & Ireland Boys Team in 1996 and 1997. He accumulated 30 team match representations (caps) for the England Men's Team. In 1999, Rowe teamed with future PGA stars Luke Donald and Paul Casey on the victorious Great Britain & Ireland Walker Cup team that defeated the United States at the Nairn Golf Club in Scotland. Rowe won all three of his matches to help secure the team win. Rowe was also a four-time Palmer Cup team member highlighted in 2000 when he led Great Britain & Ireland to victory by sinking the deciding putt on the 18th hole. He also competed in the 2000 British Open at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. As an assistant coach at Stanford, he helped lead the team to a NCAA Final Four (national semifinals) finish in 2014 and the team boasted the individual national champion (Cameron Wilson) in addition to the national player of the year (Patrick Rodgers). That Cardinal squad recorded seven team victories (in just 12 total events) for a winning percentage of .583, while Rodgers and Wilson combined to win an incredible nine individual tournament titles. Stanford's team and individual championships increased each year during Rowe's time as an assistant coach and he helped lead eight student-athletes to All-American honors and eight achieved All-America Scholar status. He also served as Europe's Palmer Cup Team Assistant Coach in 2013 at

Wilmington Country Club in Del., and in 2014 at Walton Heath in London. He assisted his 2014 squad to an 18.5-11.5 victory over the United States. Rowe earned a degree in psychology from Stanford in 2002. He is married to Claire and they have two children - a son: Paul (4); and a daughter: Iris (2). He replaced JC Deacon on staff at UNLV, who was the program's assistant coach for four years before leaving to become head coach at Florida.

Endowment Program Endowment Program Raises Scholarship funds for rebel golfers

ince the arrival of Dwaine Knight on the UNLV campus as head golf coach in 1987, NCAA Tournament invitations and national rankings have become commonplace. Success such as this becomes possible only through the recruitment of individuals who are not only top junior golfers, but are exceptional student-athletes. UNLV’s golf program scored a major championship in this area in August of 1990 with the endowment of all five scholarships permitted by the NCAA. The UNLV golf program would like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Christina Hixson of the Ernst F. Lied Foundation, International Game Technologies, the estate of Earl E. Wilson, the Las Vegas Founders and the many members of the UNLV Golf Foundation for their generous support of the Golf Endowment Program. The program received a sincerely appreciated financial boost in 1991 when IGT contributed a gift in stock valued at $500,000. An additional $250,000 was added to the endowment fund by the Earl E. Wilson estate in 1993 and in 2004 the Lied Foundation contributed $200,000.

Rebel Golf Commitment ead coach Dwaine Knight has established the foundation for a national championship-caliber golf program on a continual basis. Knight’s philosophy places the program’s focus in six major areas:

ACADEMICS Knight emphasizes the importance of student-athletes obtaining a valuable, significant college education. The athletic department’s commitment to this goal includes monitoring student-athletes’ progress through professors and providing tutoring and counseling when necessary. Study halls are available weekly for individual attention. A full-time academic advisor helps each student-athlete develop a challenging, meaningful curriculum, ensuring progress toward a degree is being made while conforming to the standards of the program, the university and the NCAA. COMMUNITY SUPPORT The Rebel Golf Foundation and the Las Vegas community continue to demonstrate support unparalleled in college athletics. UNLV boasts a fully endowed golf program. FACILITIES In addition to some of the finest on-campus athletic facilities in the country, the Rebels have access to the top golf courses in Las Vegas. UNLV’s home course is Southern Highlands, which has been ranked as the best new private club in the Western U.S. However, to meet specific training demands, the Rebels have a wide variety of courses available for use, ranging from desert settings to classic links-style courses. Some of these courses play host to the PGA Tour’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, one of the richest events on the 40

The Rebel Golf Foundation's Endowment Program now has a standing balance of $5.1 million. The success of Rebel Golf Day, a fundraiser held annually to help defray the rising cost of inflation each year, has also been instrumental. The UNLV Rebel Golf Foundation initiated the endowment fund, which provides funds for the ever-increasing costs associated with a college education. All those involved with UNLV golf appreciate the financial support the community of Las Vegas has given – and continues to give.

tour. Other venues serve the daily tourists who try their hand at some of the richest, most beautiful and most challenging courses while vacationing in the city. Among the local courses on which the Rebels also play are Angel Park Golf Club, Anthem Country Club, Canyon Gate Country Club, Desert Pines Golf Club, Lakes Golf Club at Primm Valley, Las Vegas Country Club, Las Vegas Paiute Resort Sun Mountain, Reflection Bay Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas, The Revere at Anthem Golf Club, Rio Secco, Royal Links, Secretariat West at Stallion Mountain Country Club, Shadow Creek, SouthShore Golf Club at Lake Las Vegas Resort, Spanish Trail Country Club, the TPC at Summerlin, the TPC at the Canyons and the Wynn Golf and Country Club. COACHING As a former collegiate and PGA Tour player, Knight has the experience and knowledge to help young men reach their golf potential. A veteran of the game, Knight has over 40 years experience of playing and coaching the sport. SCHEDULE Knight believes in playing the strongest, most demanding schedule possible. No team in the nation plays a better schedule. Knight seeks variety in courses and competition throughout the nation that best prepares the team to compete for a national title. UNLV flies to all of its tournaments. WEATHER With nearly 300 sunny days a year, the weather in Las Vegas is conducive to year-round golf, allowing practice and competition to continue throughout winter months.

Rebel Golf Foundation

he Rebel Golf Foundation was organized during the 1986-87 academic year to support the UNLV golf team. The goals of the foundation are to support a golf program with a national reputation for athletic excellence, scholarship and personal achievement. Additionally, the foundation strives to completely endow the UNLV golf program so that it will be able to compete at the highest level for many years to come.

Rebel Golf Day Through The Years

eld annually since 1987, Rebel Golf Day is an event designed to bring all members of the Rebel Golf Foundation together with each other and UNLV players, staff and alumni. The festivities are highlighted by a Rebel Scramble golf tournament followed by a banquet that also serves as a team awards ceremony. In addition, each member of the squad is introduced individually as the latest edition of the Rebel golf team is unveiled to supporters every autumn. “Rebel Golf Day is our connection every year with the community,” said Dwaine Knight. “It gives the players a chance to play a few holes with the people who support them year in and year out and offers them an opportunity to get to know them on a more personal basis. “It not only raises money but also awareness and goodwill in the Rebel Golf Family. That connection is so important – you can’t ever lose that tie to the community if you’re going to be an effective program.” Rebel Golf Day is held every November.

JAVAN HEDLUND Associate Commissioner Communications

Former Rebel AllAmerican and Hogan Award winner Ryan Moore became the only MW individual national champion in men's golf when he won the 2004 NCAA golf title.

COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSON Craig Thompson was the Mountain West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. As the league enters its 17th season of competition in 201516, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for Mountain West institutions and student-athletes to be successful both academically and athletically. Since the Mountain West opened its doors on Jan. 4, 1999, Thompson has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. As conference realignment spread throughout the collegiate landscape over the past few years, Thompson positioned the Mountain West for the future with the additions of Fresno State and the University of Nevada, Reno in 2012, and San Jose State University and Utah State University in 2013. The University of Hawai‘i also joined the league as a football-only member in 2012. His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS Sports Network, Comcast and ESPN, including becoming the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports channel featuring exclusive programming around its athletic programs. Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the former Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure and current College Football Playoff (CFP) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MW and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. Through its fi rst 16 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 69 bowl games, amassing a 38-31 (.551) all-time record in those contests. Over the last 11 seasons, the MW has captured the Bowl Challenge Cup four times. Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism. Following graduation, he spent two years as assistant sports information director at Kansas State University. He then spent three years as director of public relations and promotions for the NBA’s Kansas City Kings. Thompson and his wife, Carla, have a son (Ted) and a daughter (Emma).

1998 National Champions

May 30, 1998 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - It was a lucky seventh for the UNLV golf team. The top-ranked Rebels, under head coach Dwaine Knight, withstood a final-round rally from Clemson and won their first-ever NCAA men’s golf title by three shots at the University of New Mexico’s Championship Golf Course (par 72, 2,748 yards). It marked only the second team national championship for UNLV in any sport as the men’s basketball team won in 1990. The Rebels, who won their record-breaking seventh tournament of the season, shot a finalround one-over-par 289 and finished the tournament at 34-under-par 1,118, setting the record for the lowest total in NCAA Championships history. The old mark was 23-under par, which was set by Arizona in 1992 and repeated by Stanford in 1994. UNLV also broke the NCAA Championships record for lowest score after the second-round. The Rebels were at 23-under par after the 36-hole cut, eclipsing the old mark set by Stanford in 1994 at 11-under. Knight, who’s best finish before this year at the NCAA Championships was second in 1996,

then failed to make the cut in 1997, led his team to the title in only his 10th try with the Rebels. “This year we have won when we were ahead going into the final round, when we were coming from behind and when we were even,” Knight said. “The experience that we gained during the year really helped today. When you win a lot, you get comfortable with the fact that it will always come down to the final holes. It did today and we were ready.” Knight was also impressed with the way his team battled from the very beginning of the season and persevered. “After not making the cut last year and losing the players we did, for this team to gain the No. 1 spot again, coming in expected to win, and with the pressure, holding on for the victory makes me very proud.” Clemson finished 31-under par in second place, while Georgia Tech was second at 30-under, Oklahoma State was fourth at 25-under and Arizona State rounds out the top five, finishing 22-under par. Freshman James McLean of Minnesota shot a final-round 69 and hung on for the individual championship at 17-under-par 271.

“It’s a big thrill coming over from Australia and win it,” McLean said. “I was only a top-five or ten player there and to win it here (in the United States) means a lot. All of the best players are over here and I came here to play with the best.” With his 17-under, McLean tied the NCAA record held by John Inman (North Carolina, 1984), Phil Mickelson (Arizona State, 1992) and Justin Leonard (Texas, 1994) for lowest tournament total. UNLV junior Chris Berry, who had a nightmare of a tournament in 1996, as he finished dead last, led the Rebels and finished in a tie for second place one shot back at 16-under. “I am so proud of Chris,” Knight said. “For him to comeback and lead us to victory after his previous NCAA performance is just so special.” “One of the things that made me play so well was looking at the scoreboards,” Berry said. “When the team went low in the second round I kept looking at the updates on the board and we kept getting lower and lower. It really fired me up and I just wanted to help the team.” Also tying for second was Stanford’s Joel Kribel, TCU’s J.J. Henry and Clemson’s Charles Warren.

SCHUTTE BECAME FIRST REBEL GOLFER INDUCTED TO UNLV HALL OF FAME

Warren Schutte was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2004. He was the school’s first men’s individual national champion in any sport and he also holds the honor of being the first-ever Rebel golfer inducted. Former Rebel golfers Chad Campbell and Chris Riley were both inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006. In 2008, UNLV's 1998 national championship team was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame and in 2010, Jeremy Anderson entered the Hall.

2004 National Champion

June 4, 2004 UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moore Wins National Championship HOT SPRINGS, Va. -- UNLV junior Ryan Moore won the second individual men's golf national championship in school history as he completed his final round with a 66 at the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship. Playing in a steady, cold rain, Moore, the nation's second-ranked player, won the title by six strokes over Wake Forest's Bill Haas and Arizona's Chris Nallen, ranked No. 1 and No. 4 respectively. "It's hard to put it into words right now," Moore said of his win. "It means a lot. This was the goal at the beginning of the year, just to even get here. So to pull out a victory, it's hard to put it into words right now." "I've played six rounds of golf with Ryan this week, four rounds and two practice rounds, and it was pretty special," said Haas. "He shot a 66 in the final round. I would have had to shoot a 62 just to tie him. So I didn't really have a shot. So my hat's off to him. He beat me. I played my game and he played better." With the victory, Moore brings home UNLV's third national title in men's golf. Warren Schutte won the individual crown in

1991, and the Rebels captured the team title in 1998. "I'm really proud of him," head coach Dwaine Knight said. "I thought it was a fabulous round when he needed it. He's been so consistent all year, and this was another great round under tough conditions." Moore, of Puyallup, Wash., finished the 72-hole tournament at 13-under par. He carded rounds of 67, 70, 64 and 66 at the par-70, 6,679-yard Cascades Course at the Homestead Resort, including 20 birdies and an eagle. "I wasn't worried about anyone else," Moore said. "I was just out there trying to take care of my own business and play the way I knew I could. I knew, with a couple of shots lead, that if I went out and played a solid round, then I'd be virtually uncatchable, especially with the rain and the conditions today. It was that irritating weather, which kind of gets to you after a while. But I wasn't going out there thinking I could shoot 72 or 73 and pull it out. I knew I had to play good with these guys chasing me." In winning his third tournament of the year, Moore becomes the first player since Arizona State's Jim Carter in 1983 to take the NCAA Championship while playing as an individual without his team. The win was not just his third of the year, but his third in his last five tournaments. In fact, the Rebel ace has not finished worse than third since late March. He also claimed the Palmer Award, presented annually to the national champion, and

unsurprisingly earned first-team All-American honors. Along with the honors, Moore also etched his name into the school record books in a few places. With a total score of 267, he broke Chris Berry's school record for low 72-hole score by five strokes. His 69.38 scoring average also shattered the school's single season record of 70.85 held by Jeremy Anderson, and his career scoring average of 71.15 bested Anderson's 72.01 total. He also carded the school's best first, third and final round scores in the NCAA Championship, and his third-round 64 is the lowest total by any Rebel at the national finals.

Moore won the NCAA Championship by six strokes.

In addition to the NCAA title, Moore also won the 2004 U.S. Amateur, U.S. Amateur Public Links, Western Amateur and Sahalee Players Championships. 81

Setting A New Standard

RYAN MOORE

The most heralded player in the UNLV golf program’s history, former Rebel golfer Ryan Moore experienced unequaled success at the collegiate and amateur levels beginning with the summer of 2004. Moore’s college career, which ran from 2001-05, was unparalleled, both in terms of his senioryear accomplishments as well as his sustained performance while competing for UNLV. In his senior year alone, he competed in nine college events, winning three times and finishing third in three others. In fact, he never finished lower than sixth place in any of the tournaments he played in. Moore also capped his final year with a fifth-place finish at the 2005 NCAA Championship, an event he won in 2004. His 28-round scoring average of 69.29 was tops in the nation and set the UNLV seasonal record. For his college career, he played in 136 rounds and turned in a scoring average of 70.76. He also placed 13th at the 2005 Masters, earning him low amateur honors and a return trip to Augusta in 2006. Moore’s incredible senior season was rewarded with the recognition of winning every major player of the year honor that is given out in collegiate golf - the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award and the Haskins Award. Moore became just the second UNLV student-athlete to win his respective sport’s national player of the year award - the first was men’s basketball’s Larry Johnson in 1991. Moore also received national attention when he set a new standard in amateur golf in 2004 by winning five major amateur championships, a feat that may never be matched. He captured the U.S. Amateur, the NCAA, the U.S. Amateur Public Links, the Western Amateur and the Sahalee Players Championships to become the first golfer to ever win all five events in the same year. The four-time All-American became just the third UNLV golfer in program history to earn first team honors twice (2004 and 2005). He also captured the Golfstat Cup title in 2004-05, which is awarded annually to the college golfer with the lowest yearly scoring average as was the nation’s top-ranked player for the entire season. His 69.29 was the second lowest seasonal scoring average in NCAA history. Moore was also named the Mountain West Golfer of the Year for the second straight season in 2004-05 and made the All-MW team for a fourth time. He captured UNLV’s Sportsman of the Year award all four of his years at UNLV. Moore had the opportunity to turn professional after his junior season, but chose to return to school for his senior year. He is currently on the PGA Tour and has recorded four victories: the 2009 Wyndham Championship, the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and the 2013 and 2014 CIMB Classics.

UNLV Honors WILSON AWARD WINNERS

EARL E. WILSON MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARD This award is given in memory of the late Earl E. Wilson. The Wilson estate made a generous donation of $250,000 to the Rebel golf program in 1993 as part of an overall gift of $6.5 million to UNLV. The honor goes annually to the top player on the squad.

Kurt Kitayama was presented the Wilson Award in 2014.

This honor goes to the Rebel golfer with the highest grade point average on the squad. It is in memory of the late Bruce Parker, who passed away in 1991 and who was an avid sports fan. The Parker family made a kind donation to the Rebel golf program for academic support services in his name.

First presented in 1999, this award goes to the Rebel golfer who best exemplifies the spirit of Rebel golf.

UNLV SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR

This annual award is presented by the school’s athletics department to the top male athlete at UNLV. Until 2005, the award was known as the Olympic Sportsman of the Year award since student-athletes from football and men’s basketball were not considered for it. Beginning with the 2005 award, it includes all men’s sports at UNLV. The golf team boasts six different winners, including four-time recipient Ryan Moore and two-time winner Chris Riley.

The 1991-92 Rebels were the school’s first conference championship team.

The Walker Cup

ince 1922, the Walker Cup matches have served as the yardstick for measuring international amateur competition. Named after former USGA President George Herbert Walker, the Walker Cup was contested for the 38th time in the summer of 2003. Special about the 2003 Walker Cup was its inclusion of then-UNLV sophomore Ryan Moore. Moore became just the second Rebel ever selected to the prestigious event. The first Rebel to make an appearance at the Walker Cup was Chris Riley, who played on the U.S. team in 1995 at Royal Porthcrawl Golf Club alongside Tiger Woods. Riley and the American team fell for just the fifth time in the series, 14-10.

NLV continued a growing tradition in 2012 with Derek Ernst's selection to the United States Palmer Cup team. The last Rebel to be selected prior to that was in 2004 when Ryan Moore earned his second selection. Ernst became the fifth Rebel golfer to play in the celebrated tournament, named after the legendary Arnold Palmer. "The Palmer Cup is one of the most prestigious events in college golf, and it says a lot about our team and the UNLV program to be chosen for such an honor," UNLV men's golf head coach Dwaine Knight said. Knight knows first-hand about the opportunity to participate in the event with Palmer Cup credentials of his own. He received one of the highest honors of his career when he was chosen as captain for the United States’ team in the inaugural competition in 1997. "It was a tremendous honor for me personally, and it is a reflection

of the commitment our community has had for the golf program," the 1991 and 1998 National Coach of the Year said. "It is an honor and a privilege to be associated with such an event." Knight wasn’t the lone Rebel at the inaugural event, held at the Palmer-designed Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Fla. Then-senior Ted Oh joined Knight on the U.S. squad that defeated GB&I that year, 19-5. The Americans won all four rounds of the tournament with ease and, with 12 1/2 points needed to win, clinched the championship with a day to play. In 2008, then-UNLV assistant coach Andy Bischel served as the U.S. team's assistant coach. Bischel earned the post after being named the 2007 Jan Strickland Assistant Coach of the Year. The U.S. lost the 2008 event, which was played at Glasgow Golf Club Gailes Links in Scotland.

RYDER CUP REBELS

The Ryder Cup takes place every other year between teams from Europe and the United States with the venue alternating between courses in the United States and overseas. One of the most prestigious honors that can be bestowed upon a professional golfer is to be selected to participate in the Ryder Cup, and one of the things that makes the Ryder cup unique lies in the fact that even though it receives a lot of money from sponsors, the winners compete only for the championship cup and not any prize money. Two former Rebel golfers have had the honor of competing in the Ryder Cup for the United States: Chad Campbell and Chris Riley. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, while Riley played in 2004. Europe won the 2004 event at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Township, Mich., and again in 2006 at The K Club in Kildare, Ireland. The United States won in 2008 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.

PRESIDENTS CUP

The Presidents Cup takes place every other year between a team from the United States and an international team representing the rest of the world less Europe. Former Rebel golfer Adam Scott has played in seven Presidents Cups as a member of the International Team. He has participated in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. Just like the Ryder Cup, there is no prize money awarded. The net proceeds are distributed to charities nominated by the players, captains and captains' assistants.

Adam Scott has played in the Presidents Cup seven times.

Chad Campbell (left) and Chris Riley (below) have both played in the Ryder Cup for the United States. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, while Riley played in 2004.

JEREMY ANDERSON It takes little more than a brief glance at the Rebel golf record book before his name jumps off the page. When Jeremy Anderson left UNLV in 2000, he had etched his name atop the list of Rebel greats with records for low round, low 54-hole tournament, single-season stroke average, and career stroke average. A member of UNLV’s 1998 national championship team, he had claimed all of the coveted accolades in collegiate golf, including back-to-back conference player of the year awards and three All-America selections. He demonstrated equal success in the classroom as a model student, three times being tabbed both academic all-conference and Academic All-American before completing the requirements for his bachelor’s degree in business. He was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010. This Rebel star played his way onto the PGA Tour in his first year after graduation, earning his way through the rigorous “Q School.” He held his Tour card for one year, earning nearly $100,000 in 2001. He was still active on both the Nationwide (formerly Buy.com) and Gateway Tours before retiring from professional golf in 2010. Still a Las Vegas resident, the Lake Mary, Fla., native spent 2003 playing on the Gateway Tour in Arizona, where he finished 48th on the money list. His best finish on the Nationwide Tour in 2005 was a tie for ninth at the Oregon Classic presented by Kendall Automotive. His best in 2006 was a tie for eighth at the National Mining Association Pete Dye Classic and for the season, Anderson made 11 cuts in 23 starts with two top-10 finishes. In 2007, Anderson finished second in two tournaments, made 11 cuts in 27 starts and recorded six top-10 finishes. In 2008 he played in 25 events. Anderson's best finish on the PGA Tour was a tie for 23rd at the 2001 Michelob Championship. He is also a member of the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 1998 national champion squad that was inducted in 2008.

CHAD CAMPBELL Arguably the top transfer in UNLV golf history, Chad Campbell came to Las Vegas as a junior-college All-American from Midland College in 1994 and left as one of the most consistent Rebels ever. The big-hitting Texan played every round of every tournament during his two seasons and led the squad with 16 rounds par-or-under in his final campaign. One of two senior leaders in 1995-96 along with Chris Riley, the quiet big man spoke loudly with his clubs for one of the greatest-ever Rebel squads. His 15 career top-20 finishes included helping UNLV charge back from 11 strokes back on the final day of the Golf Digest Collegiate Invitational with Campbell earning medallist honors. That team ultimately finished three strokes behind Arizona State at the 1996 NCAA Championship and posted a then-school-best No. 2 national finish. Campbell, a third-team All-American and a 2006 inductee into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame, earned his degree in hotel administration before turning pro. A 13-time winner on the Hooters Tour, he eventually was the leading money winner and tour MVP three times. In 2001, Campbell became only the third player to be promoted from the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) to the PGA Tour after he won his third event of the season and set the tour record for single-season earnings. Almost overnight, this Texan-turned-Rebel became one of the most feared players on the PGA Tour. He finished the 2002 season with more than $825,000 in earnings and a pair of top-10 showings. After three runner-up finishes the next year, Campbell struck gold with a victory at the 2003 PGA Tour Championship, the final event of the season and a payday worth more than $1 million. He completed his second full year on Tour in 2003, finishing seventh on the money list with almost $4 million in earnings. He has now won four total tournaments - the others: the 2004 Bay Hill Invitational, the 2006 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and the 2007 Viking Classic. Campbell played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup for a third time in 2008 and for his career, he has earned more than $23.2 million on the PGA Tour.

DEREK ERNST The most recent former Rebel golfer to earn his PGA Tour card is Derek Ernst, who played at UNLV from 2008-12. He was the only college player in 2012 to go from graduating to earning full exempt status on the PGA Tour. He will also be the last to ever accomplish that as qualifying rules have been changed. He made it through all four PGA Tour Q-School stages. Originally from Clovis, Calif., Ernst was a two-time AllAmerican and two-time Mountain West Golfer of the Year at UNLV. He also was selected to the All-MW team all four years of college. He won four individual titles as a Rebel, including the 2011 MW Championship. His four victories rank fifth in program history. Ernst, who shot two 64s in college tournaments (ranks second in UNLV history), turned in a career scoring average of 71.80 - also ranking second all-time. His senior year's average of 71.39 is the seventh-best by a UNLV golfer. In 2012, Ernst played in just one PGA Tour event, finishing tied for 41st at the Frys.com Open. Then as a rookie in 2013, Ernst won his first PGA Tour title in a playoff at the Wells Fargo Championship. That tournament was just his ninth career start, and he was granted a spot in the field off the alternate list Monday of tournament week after another player withdrew. He has already earned more than $1.9 million on the PGA Tour and has turned in four top-25 finishes.

EDWARD FRYATT When Ed Fryatt returned to his hometown to play for the Rebels, it marked the launch of the program that would go on to untold success. The Las Vegas native and Nevada high school champion originally enrolled at BYU, but quickly transferred to UNLV a year later. While wearing the Scarlet and Gray, he led the Rebels to three straight NCAA Championship appearances, including an unprecedented fourth-place finish in his first year. A three-time All-American, he won the Big West Conference’s 1993 Player of the Year award after capturing the league’s individual championship. He graduated from UNLV in 1994 with a degree in business management. Following his success at UNLV, he was a mainstay in the professional ranks. Fryatt played on the Nationwide Tour (formerly the Nike Tour) in his first year out of school, earning about $25,000. He earned a living there until 2000, when he battled his way up to exempt status in the big league. Fryatt held his tour card for three years, piling up more than $1 million in earnings. His best finish was a tie for third at the 2000 MCI Classic.

ANDRES GONZALES Andres Gonzales, who played at UNLV from 2003-06, earned his way on to the PGA Tour through Q-School in December of 2010 after playing on a variety of professional tours including the Nationwide and Canadian Tours. Originally from Olympia, Wash., Gonzales turned in a 72.79 career scoring average at UNLV, which ranks 14th in program history. He was a first-team All-Mountain West selection and a third-team All-American his senior year and earned the program's Wilson Award, which is given annually to the squad's top player. As a senior at UNLV, Gonzales won the William H. Tucker Invitational in Albuquerque and he led the Rebels with a 72.08 scoring average, which was the 17th-lowest in program history. His 54-hole total 206 at the Cougar Classic in 2006 tied for the 24th-lowest tournament total ever by a Rebel golfer. Gonzales earned the 2004 Michael Maze Award, which is given every year to the player that best exemplifies the spirit of Rebel golf. Gonzales played in two NCAA championship finals with his best finish coming in 2005 when he tied for eighth. He finished 12th twice at the MW Championship and his best NCAA Regional finish was 15th. On the PGA Tour in 2011, Gonzales played in 21 events, made nine cuts and finished in the top 25 twice. He finished tied for eighth at the Wyndham Championship in 2013 for his first career PGA Tour top-10 finish. He recorded three top-10 finishes in 2015, including a thirdplace showing at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba. For his career, he has finished in the top 25 on the PGA Tour nine times and has earned over $1.4 million.

CHARLEY HOFFMAN Charley Hoffman made his mark at UNLV as a Rebel golfer from 1995-99. A 1998 honorable mention All-American, the Poway, Calif., native, was an integral part of UNLV’s 1998 national championship in Albuquerque, N.M., as he recorded a top-20 finish by turning in a 283 total, which ranks tied for eighth in program history for best 72-hole score.

SKIP KENDALL The first true success to develop from the Rebel program, Skip Kendall completed his collegiate career just prior to the arrival of Dwaine Knight. After a solid but relatively unheralded career as a collegian, he graduated in 1987 with a degree in business administration. Kendall capped the 1992 season with a sharp performance at the PGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifying tournament, carding four straight sub-par rounds and earning his card. The following year, Kendall played in 32 events, and has spent time on both the PGA and Nationwide Tours since. The Milwaukee, Wis., native finished in the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list in 2004 for the eighth straight season and earned over $1.2 million in 2004 (his career high), surpassing the $1 million mark in earnings for the second straight season. His best finish in 2005 was a tie for 14th at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship and in 2006 his best was a tie for ninth at the Buick Championship. In 2007, he tied for ninth place at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun, and in 2010, his best finish was a tie for fourth at the Mayakoba. He has finished second in four PGA Tour events during his career and third in two others. He has a total of 26 top-10 finishes, 93 top-25s and has earned over $8 million on the PGA Tour.

BILL LUNDE A 1998 second-team and 1997 third-team All-American, Bill Lunde was a Rebel golfer from 1993-98. The San Diego, Calif., native was a major part of UNLVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1998 national championship in Albuquerque, N.M., as he finished tied for 15th with a total of 281, which ranks tied for fifth in program history for best 72-hole score. Lunde averaged 71.83 per round in 1997-98, which ranks tied for 15th all-time for seasonal scoring averages at UNLV. He graduated in 1998 with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in economics. A two-time first-team All-Western Athletic Conference player, Lunde placed fifth on the 2008 Nationwide Tour money list and earned his PGA Tour card. He spent his rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2009. In 2008, he earned his first Nationwide Tour victory at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational with chip-in birdie on the final hole for a one-stroke win. He played in 27 events during the 2009 PGA Tour season, recording two top-10 finishes and five in the top 25. His best finishes of the year were a tie for fourth at the Frys.com Open and a tie for sixth at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. He earned over $825,000 during his rookie campaign. In 2010, Lunde earned his first career PGA Tour victory when he won the Turning Stone Resort Championship in New York. He made 12 cuts that year and finished in the top 10 three times, giving him over $1 million in earnings in a season for the first time in his career. Lunde has now totaled over $3.4 million in earnings on the PGA Tour. For his career, Lunde has played in 140 PGA Tour events, making the cut 75 times and finishing in the top 25 20 times. He has also turned in seven finishes in the top 10. He also earned $1 million for winning the Kodak Challenge in 2011.

RYAN MOORE The most heralded player in the UNLV golf program’s history, Ryan Moore experienced unequaled success at the collegiate and amateur levels beginning with the summer of 2004. Moore’s college career, which ran from 2001-05, was unparalleled, both in terms of his senior year accomplishments as well as his sustained performance throughout his career while competing for UNLV. In his senior year alone, he competed in nine college events, winning three times and finishing third in three others. In fact, he never finished lower than sixth place in any of the nine tournaments he played in. Moore also capped his final year with a fifth-place finish at the 2005 NCAA Championship, an event he won in 2004. His 28-round scoring average of 69.29 was tops in the nation and set the UNLV seasonal record. For his college career, he played in 136 rounds and turned in a scoring average of 70.76. He also placed 13th at the 2005 Masters, earning him low amateur honors and a return trip to Augusta in 2006. Moore’s incredible senior season was rewarded with the recognition of winning every major player of the year award that is given out in collegiate golf - the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award and the Haskins Award. Moore became just the second UNLV student-athlete to win his respective sport’s national player of the year award - the first was men’s basketball’s Larry Johnson in 1991. Moore also received national attention when he set a new standard in amateur golf in 2004 by winning five major amateur championships, a feat that may never be matched. He captured the U.S. Amateur, the NCAA, the U.S. Amateur Public Links, the Western Amateur and the Sahalee Players Championships to become the first golfer to ever win all five events in the same year. He had the opportunity to turn pro after his junior season, but decided to return to school. The four-time All-American became just the third UNLV golfer in program history to earn first team honors twice (2004 and 2005). He also captured the Golfstat Cup title in 2004-05, which is awarded annually to the college golfer with the lowest yearly scoring average as was the nation’s top-ranked player for the entire season. His 69.29 was the second lowest seasonal scoring average in NCAA history. Moore was also named the Mountain West Golfer of the Year for the second straight season in 2004-05 and made the All-MW team for the fourth time. He captured UNLV’s Sportsman of the Year award each of his four years at UNLV. Moore recorded four second-place finishes on the PGA Tour (2005 Bell Canadian Open, 2006 Buick Championship, 2007 Memorial and 2008 EDS Byron Nelson Championship) before winning his first PGA Tour event at the 2009 Wyndham Championship. He won again at the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, and for the third and fourh times at the 2013 and 2014 CIMB Classics. He has a total of six second-place finishes on the PGA Tour, 50 top-10s and 94 top-25s. He has earned over $21.3 million during his PGA Tour career.

CHRIS RILEY Chris Riley left UNLV as perhaps its greatest golfer ever. The skinny kid from California who sported a wide grin from the moment he hit campus in the fall of 1992, ended up turning in a highlight-stuffed career that included various firsts for a Rebel linkster. As the school’s golf program grew in stature during the decade, so did Riley’s game. And consistency was his trademark. Consider that in 1996, he became the first male UNLV athlete ever to be named All-American all four seasons in college. In his career, he placed in the top-20 in 45 of his 59 career college tournaments (76 percent) and was in the top-five an incredible 21 times (36 percent). In fact, of 178 collegiate rounds, Riley carded 84 rounds par-or-under (47 percent). He also finished in the top-10 in six of his 12 career postseason tournaments (50 percent). In May 1996, Riley pulled the double deuce. Boasting a 72.65 career stroke average at UNLV, he captained his final team to a then-school-best second-place finish at the 1996 NCAA Golf Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn. And, maybe most important, Riley capped off his astounding UNLV career by graduating in May of 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. In 2006, he was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame. Riley played on the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) for one year before earning his Tour card at “Q School” in 1998. He went on to tie for seventh in his first Tour event, the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he won more than $75,000. Riley has maintained his tour card since 1999 and has steadily climbed up the money list. In 2003, he finished 23rd on the money list with just over $2 million in earnings. He recorded his first win in 2002 at the Reno-Tahoe Open and in 2004 he played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup. His best finish in 2005 was a tie for 18th at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and in 2006 his best finish of the season was a tie for fifth at the Valero Texas Open. In 2008, he tied for third at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee and in 2009, he tied for seventh at the same event. In 2010, he had three top-10 finishes, including fourth at the Travelers Championship and in 2011, his best was a tie for ninth at the Sony Open in Hawaii. For his career, Riley has earned more than $11.5 million on the PGA Tour, finishing second four times, in the top 10 on 33 occasions and in the top 25 88 times.

ADAM SCOTT Although his stint in a Rebel uniform was brief, Adam Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the program is still significant. Scott spent just a year-and-a-half in the Scarlet and Gray before taking his aim on the professional ranks. But in such a short time, he was able to help the Rebels to an NCAA Championship appearance (and sixth-place finish) during an All-America freshman campaign. Scott came to UNLV in 1998 from Hope Island, Australia, and immediately cracked the Rebel lineup. He continued to hone his game at the collegiate level and ended the season sharply, finishing in the top 20 in five straight events to end the year. His 11th-place effort at the national finals earned him honorable mention All-America honors. He was one of three All-Americans returning to the lineup in 1999 when he decided to forego his collegiate eligibility and turn professional in the middle of the 1999-00 season. He needed just eight starts in 2000 to secure his European Tour card. The next season, he opened the year with his first professional win at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Scott has won 11 PGA Tour events: the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2003, the 2004 Players Championship, the 2004 Booz Allen Classic, the 2006 THE TOUR Championship, the 2007 Shell Houston Open, the 2008 EDS Byron Nelson Championship, the 2010 Valero Texas Open, the 2011 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, the 2013 Masters, The 2013 Barclays and the 2014 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. His victory at the 2013 Masters marked the first major championship ever by a former Rebel. For his career, Scott has earned more than $38.6 million on the PGA Tour. He has played in 245 tournaments, making the cut 198 times. He has nine second-place finishes, 72 top-10s and 120 top-25s. He has recorded 15 top-10 finishes at Major PGA Tour events. Prior to his win at the Masters in 2013, his best finishes were at the 2011 Masters and 2012 British Open, both second-place showings.

Len Jessup joined UNLV as its 10th president in January 2015. An accomplished leader in higher education, Jessup brings experience as a university professor, administrator, entrepreneur and fundraiser. He will lead UNLV on its path to become a high-performing, community-engaged Tier One research university. Among his top priorities is the development of a UNLV School of Medicine. Like many of UNLV’s students, Jessup was the first in his family to graduate from college. This experience informs his understanding of the crucial role universities play in transforming families and communities, and it has been a motivating factor in his career in higher education leadership. Prior to UNLV, Jessup served as dean of the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona (2011-2014), where he was also professor of entrepreneurship and innovation and the Halle Chair in Leadership.

He was instrumental in creating the University of Arizona’s technology transfer and commercialization program, Tech Launch Arizona. He led the development and expansion of online degree and executive education programs at Arizona and helped drive similar innovations in previous positions at Washington State University (2000-2011) and Indiana University (1995-2000). During more than a decade at Washington State University, Jessup was tapped for a variety of leadership roles. As dean of the WSU College of Business, he led a complete two-year reengineering of the business program, which included university-wide Entrepreneurship and Innovation Initiative that created intra-university pipelines between colleges to make the most of new ideas. As vice president of university development and president of the WSU Foundation, he transformed the university’s fundraising efforts, helping to double overall fundraising totals and welcoming record numbers of donors to the university. A former baseball player in the highly competitive California junior college system, Jessup received his B.A. in information and

communication studies in 1983 and his MBA in 1985, both from California State University, Chico.

KUNZER-MURPHY

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Tina Kunzer-Murphy has been a fixture in the Southern Nevada sports community for more than four decades. On July 1, 2013, she added another accomplishment to her long and varied career as she began serving as UNLV Interim Director of Athletics. The move marked two major milestones as Kunzer-Murphy became both the first woman and the first alum of the school to run the department. Just six months later, the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents removed the interim tag from Kunzer-Murphy’s title and approved a threeyear contract for her to serve as the school’s permanent AD. “I want to thank the Board of Regents for the tremendous support that they’ve given to me and to UNLV Athletics,” Kunzer-Murphy said. “It’s an unbelievable and humbling opportunity to work on behalf of our 450 student-athletes and their talented head coaches. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us but it’s a great thing to wake up every morning knowing that you get a chance to make a real difference at your alma mater in your own hometown.” As UNLV’s Director of Athletics, Kunzer-Murphy made a national splash with the hire of football coach Tony Sanchez in December of 2014 and in May 2015 she announced the construction of the Anthony and Lyndy Marnell III Baseball Clubhouse, which will serve as the home for UNLV Baseball. Also under her leadership, UNLV has continued to dominate the Governor’s Series, which is an all-encompassing competition against rival Nevada, Reno, as the Rebels have won the series every year since its inception in 2012. A graduate of Valley High School, Kunzer-Murphy first attended Southern Utah, where she lettered in swimming, before transferring to UNLV to compete in both tennis and volleyball at her hometown university. She earned her bachelor’s degree in physical education from the school in 1975. While pursuing a graduate degree she served as a tennis instructor and dance teacher at both UNLV and Clark County Community College (now CSN). Soon after earning her master’s in education in 1977, she was hired as head coach of the UNLV women’s

tennis team as well as director of its cheerleading program. When the school dropped tennis for financial reasons in the early 1980s, she was thrust into a management role under then-athletics director Brad Rothermel, and eventually worked with the football and basketball programs, among others, during the department’s wildly successful run through the PCAA/Big West Conference. Named UNLV’s Senior Women’s Administrator in 1981, Kunzer-Murphy oversaw the entire Lady Rebel athletic program, as well as various support groups such as the Rebel Football Foundation, the Rebel Golf Foundation and the Women’s Sports Foundation, which she helped create. In 1983, she was named an assistant athletics director and in 1987 was promoted to senior assistant AD. Kunzer-Murphy became senior associate AD at the University of Pacific in 1992 but then soon returned to town to work for the Las Vegas 51s and Thunder professional sports franchises as director of corporate sales and marketing. After UNLV moved to the Western Athletic Conference in 1996, Kunzer-Murphy was hired by the WAC to run its annual football championship game and men’s and women’s basketball championship events in Las Vegas. Kunzer-Murphy returned to campus in 1999 when she was selected by ESPN Regional Television (ERT) to run the newly formed ESPN Regional at UNLV office, which oversaw the athletic department’s corporate sales and broadcasting departments until 2005. From 2000-12, Kunzer-Murphy served as Executive Director of the Las Vegas Bowl, which ERT purchased. Under her leadership, the bowl game enjoyed six consecutive sellouts from 2006-11, record-high TV ratings and team payouts en route to elevating itself into the national college football landscape A 2007 inductee of the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame, Kunzer-Murphy in 2010 became the first

In summer 2011 she was honored as Las Vegas’ Sportsperson of the Year as part of the annual “24-Hour Radiothon” staged by Lotus Broadcasting, which benefits The Caring Place, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to easing the journey of those affected by cancer. Kunzer-Murphy returned to work for her alma mater in January of 2013 when she was named Director of Sponsorships and Development for the UNLV Alumni Association. She has been married to former UNLV coach and local high school teacher and coach Greg Murphy since 1990. She has one son, Stephen, who is married to the former Ginny Broffitt. The couple has a son, Jackson Thomas Kunzer, born Sept. 1, 2014.

hall of fame HALL HALL OF OF FAME FAME HALL OF FAME

Class of 2012

Seven different Rebel sports were represented during ceremonies as the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2012 was honored Oct. 12, 2012. Six former Rebel standout players, one head coach and a distinguished contributor joined one team in being inducted the night before the Battle for the Fremont Cannon football game between UNLV and Nevada, Reno. Also being honored that night was former Rebel football player and current TV personality, Kenny Mayne, who received the Silver Rebel Award Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletics Hall of Fame has now grown to 114 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University five years previous. All classes now enter on a biennial basis.

FRED ALBRECHT (1974-83, 1995, 2003) The winningest coach in UNLV tennis history, led the Rebel netters and compiled a record of 230-80 for a winning percentage of .742. A longtime administrator on campus, Albrecht was called upon to serve as Interim Athletics Director in both 1995 and 2003 during searches for permanent replacements. He retired from UNLV in 2007 after 38 years with a final title of vice president for university and community relations. LORENA DIACONESCU (1998-02) is arguably the Rebels women’s swimming program’s most decorated athlete. She won three consecutive Conference Swimmer of the Year awards from 2000-02 while setting school records in six separate events. Diaconescu earned All-America in 2000 and was honorable mention one year later. Winner of eight MW individual crowns as well as seven relay titles, she was also a two-time Olympian for her home country of Romania. LINDA FROHLICH (1998-02) The highest-scoring basketball player in UNLV history – men’s or women’s – finished with 2,355 points and a 21.2 PPG average in her dominating hoops career. The native of Oldendorf, Germany, was named USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 1999, AP Honorable Mention All-America as a sophomore and junior and then Third Team as a senior. EDDIE OWENS (1973-77) Still the leading Runnin’ Rebel scorer in history, was the emerging program’s second All-American in men’s basketball when he was tabbed First Team by a pair of outlets as a junior in 1976. JACINT SIMON (1998-2002) turned in a career in the water that rivaled any in school history. The Mountain West Swimmer of the Year three consecutive seasons earned All-America honors at the 2000 NCAA Championships while also being honorable mention in two relays. His fourth All-America finish came in 2002. Simon won 10 conference championships as an individual and one on a relay team and swam for his home nation of Hungary in the 2000 Summer Olympics. AMIE STEWART (1992-95) was a dominant pitcher for dominant softball program in the mid-1990s. A second team All-America selection as a senior in 1995, her 30-9 mark is still the school record for wins a season. She led her team all the way to the Women’s College World Series and tossed two complete games while finishing with a .95 ERA en route to becoming the only Rebel to be named to a WCWS All-Tournament Team. KEVIN THOMAS (1998-01) Arguably the top cornerback in school history, still holds numerous school and conference defensive records. The first player in school history to start 46 games, Thomas was the first defensive player from UNLV to earn All-America status in 26 years when he was named Third Team by Football News and Fourth Team by Sporting News. The 1984 UNLV FOOTBALL TEAM was the first of two in school history to win a conference championship and its 11-2 overall record included a victory over Toledo in the California Bowl. Going undefeated in the PCAA, the talent-rich squad featured the conference Offensive Player of the Year in All-America punter/quarterback Randall Cunningham; the Defensive Player of the Year in lineman Aaron Moog; and the Coach of the Year in Harvey Hyde. DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTOR MIKE MILLER is noted Las Vegas artist and illustrator. During the 1980s, Miller created and named the cartoon man with the long moustache known as “Hey Reb.” Miller was paid a single dollar for his work, which eventually helped UNLV vault to the top spot in college apparel licensing.
