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.” -- Sydney Lisy, Men's Golf Academic Advisor Rebel Golf And Academics Rebel golf boasted yet another outstanding year in the classroom in 2016-17. Shintaro Ban, Harry Hall, Taylor Montgomery and John Oda each received Academic All-Mountain West accolades. It was the third straight year that Ban and Oda were recognized with the award, while it was Hall's second time. 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, Hall and Oda were named MW Scholar-Athletes. It was the third straight year that Oda made the list. 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 2014-15 and 2015-16, four Rebel golfers earned Academic All-MW honors, while six were recognized in 2013-14. Over the last 13 years, a total of 52 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 each season. In addition, since 2000, 15 UNLV men's golfers have earned All-America Scholar honors including McInerney in 2016, and Ban and Oda in 2017. As a team, the 2014-15 and 2016-17 Rebels were recognized with the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Academic Team Award. Consistency in the classroom has become a hallmark of Coach Knight's program as the UNLV men’s golf team had a recent string of 24 straight semesters with a 3.0 team grade point average or higher. 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.

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, east to Colorado then Illinois, down south to Alabama and Georgia, and across the ocean to Hawaii. The Mountain West Championship will be played in Bremerton, Wash., while the NCAA Regionals will be held at six different sites. The Rebels will also play right here in Las Vegas twice - in March when they host the Southern Highlands Collegiate and at Siena Golf Club. This year's NCAA Championship will be played in Stillwater, Okla., at Karsten Creek Golf 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 had 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 had 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. 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 and KEITH KLEVEN universities as well as the personal trainer and therapist Professor of Physical Therapy 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 was 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 made him such a valuable part of our program. We were very fortunate to have him on campus as a professor and have had him in our program. There is no question that without his support and help we would not be a top program.” 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.

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.” -- 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 16th 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 decades 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

Guadagnoli at a recent speaking engagement.

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 MARK GUADAGNOLI university's Teacher of the Mental Training Consultant Year Awards, and has many 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.

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

An aquatic therapy room includes a rehabilitative pool. Wilson, UNLV’s Assistant Athletics Director for Athletic Training. “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. We’re now more efficient, more accessible and more effective in preventing and rehabilitating athletic injuries.”

A skylight welcomes natural light into the rehabilitation room.

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 is about a year old. 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.

2017-18 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 31st year at the helm of the program. Under his watch, the Rebels have captured a team national title, two individual national championships and five 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 20 times, with all of those appearances coming in the last 29 years under Knight. Last year's squad continued its NCAArecord streak of 29 straight regional appearances, and advanced to the Elite Eight at the NCAA finals for the second time in five years. Entering the NCAA Championship, the Rebels were one of the hottest teams in the nation. They were coming off back-to-back victories at the Mountain West Championship and NCAA Regional in West Lafayette, Ind. The MW crown was the program's second straight and the regional title was its first in 12 years. It also marked just the second time in program history that it won both the conference and regional titles in the same season. The first was in 1994. "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 last year and that is get to the Elite Eight, where we have as good a shot as anybody to win it all. That's where we want to play, that’s where we want to be and that’s where we expect to be." Last year's team held the second-

round, stroke-play lead at the 30-team NCAA Championship, narrowly missing the Final Four after its match with No. 1 Vanderbilt came down to the final hole. "I was really excited with what the team put together last year at the end," Knight said. "Starting with our first trip to Purdue with a regularseason tournament all the way through the national finals. We were probably playing as good as anyone in the country and that’s great to get on that kind of a roll. "This year's team is going to be a little different this year. We have some key guys coming back that can really step up. We have a really tough fall schedule, but it will test us and we will see where we are." The Rebels return two AllMountain Performers from last year in senior Shintaro Ban and junior Harry Hall. Justin Chong, Justin Kim and Yash Majmudar are all back as well as sophomores. Ban, from San Jose, Calif., is in his fourth year with the Rebels. The 2016-17 honorable mention All-American has recorded 19

top-20 finishes, 12 top-10s and seven top5s during his career. He has won one collegiate tournament title - the 2016 Robert Kepler Intercollegiate. He was also named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar last year after earning All-MW accolades for the second straight year. His 71.26 seasonal scoring average ranked second on the team and seventh in UNLV history. Ban shot a 62 during the ASU Thunderbird Invitational last season, which marked the lowest round by a Rebel in history. 'I think Shinny will be the leader of this group going forward. This will be his team. He is a senior now and he had a great summer. I think we have a lot to look forward to." Hall, who hails from Hayle, England, is in his third season with the Rebels. He has tallied 15 top-20 finishes, 11 top-10s and four top5s. Last year he earned Dean's List honors and was named to the Academic All-MW team for the second straight year. In addition, he earned the league's Scholar-Athlete Award. He was a member of the European Arnold Palmer Cup team and was also selected to the England men's golf squad. His scoring average of 71.63 ranked third on

the team and 14th in program history. He finished second twice (National Invitational Tournament, The Goodwin) and third once (John Burns Intercollegiate). Last year, Hall earned the MW Golfer of the Week award twice. "Harry is going to play a big role with this group," Knight said. "We will have a lot of different players compete for us. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think our team will be as set as it was last year, but it should be fun." Kim, from Fullerton, Calif., is in his second year with the Rebels. He played in 13 tournaments last year and had a scoring average of 73.14 - fourth on the team. He had three top-20 finishes, two top-10s and a top-5. Kim won his first career tournament with a 13-under total at the Jackrabbit Invitational. He shot 12 rounds at par or better and had five rounds in the 60s. He earned Mountain

West Men's Golfer of the Week honors and also won the Southern Nevada Golf Association's Las Vegas City Amateur Championship. Majmudar, from Singapore, is also in his second season as a Rebel. A Dean's List honoree, he played in five tournaments last season and recorded two top-20 finishes. He has two rounds in the 60s as well. Chong is in his third season after redshiring in 2015-16, played in one tournament for the Rebels last year (the Southern Highlands Collegiate in Las Vegas). He won both the Henderson Amateur and Sunrise Throwback Amateur titles and was the runnerup at the Clark County Amateur. Newcomers to this year's squad are Chris Ebster, J.J. Gresco and Jack Trent all freshmen. "We will be looking to our freshmen to see what they can do," Knight said." I think

Jack will be one of the early standouts. He is going to be a heck of a player for us in the future. This year, his focus will have to be on balancing academics along with athletics and time management will be really big for him. He is definitely a freshman and that's going to take some patience on our part and hard work on his part. But he has the ability to become a big factor in college golf." Trent, originally from Brisbane, Australia, attended Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas. He won back-to-back individual Nevada State High School Championships in 2015 and 2016, and was runner-up in 2017. He was ranked as the No. 21 player in the country when he signed with the Rebels. He also won the 2016 AJGA Ryan Moore Championship, the 2015 San Diego Junior Amateur Championship and the 2015 Clark County Amateur Championship. During the summer, he finished third at the U.S. Amateur Qualifier. Ebster, from Modesto, Calif., was a fourtime California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Finalist qualifier and three-time Boys Junior Americas Cup team member. He was a five-time winner of Junior Golf Association of Northern California (JGANC) tournaments and was named its 2016 Player of the Year. Gresco, from Scottsdale, Ariz., won a record six consecutive Arizona Junior Player of the Year awards. He was also ranked as the No. 1 high school golfer in the state for his final three years. The Rebels always play one of the most challenging schedules of any team in the country and the 2017-18 slate looks to be no different. UNLV will play five tournaments in the fall, all in about six weeks. "We will be tested in the fall, which is good," Knight said. "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 as we head into the spring."

2016-17 Notebook 2017 POSTSEASON RECAP The UNLV men’s golf team made its NCAA-record 29th straight appearance at a NCAA Regional in 2017. And for the second time in five years, the Rebels made it to the Elite Eight at the NCAA Championship. In addition, UNLV won the Mountain West Championship for the second consecutive year and for the first time in 12 seasons it won a NCAA Regional title. In fact, it is just the second time in program history that it won both the conference crown and its NCAA regional in the same season. The other time was in 1994.

HEAD COACH DWAINE KNIGHT UNLV head coach Dwaine Knight finished his 30th year at the helm of the Rebel program in 2016-17. During his tenure, UNLV has been a perennial power with eight league championships and 20 NCAA Championship finals appearances. His 1998 squad won the national championship and he has coached the team to 11 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 46 AllAmericans, 80 all-conference players and has guided 11 different players to the PGA Tour from UNLV.

REGIONAL RECORD STREAK The Rebels earned their 29th consecutive invitation to a NCAA Regional in 2017, which ties the NCAA record for most consecutive appearances all-time (with Oklahoma State - also 1989-2017). UNLV has finished in the top five at the regional 19 times, has five team titles (1990, 1994, 1997, 2005 and 2017) and boasts three individual medalists (Hub Goyen, 1990; Warren Schutte, 1991; Ed Fryatt, 1994).

BAN, ODA NAMED ALL-AMERICA SCHOLAR UNLV juniors Shintaro Ban and John Oda were both named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars following the 2016-17

ODA AND BAN BOTH EARN ALL-AMERICA HONORS UNLV junior John Oda was named a PING First Team All-America. He became UNLV’s first First Team All-America recipient since Ryan Moore in 2005. It was Oda’s third All-America honor of his career as he was twice named honorable mention (2015 and 2016). The Rebels have had a player earn All-America recognition in 26 of the last 29 years.

2016-17 Notebook ACADEMIC ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST

Junior Shintaro Ban was also recognized as honorable mention All-America. It was the first time since 2012 that UNLV has had two representatives earning All-America honors in the same year and was just the second time in 11 seasons.

THREE REBELS NAMED ALL-REGION Junior John Oda, junior Shintaro Ban and sophomore Harry Hall were all named to the PING All-West Region Team.

BACK-TO-BACK MOUNTAIN WEST CHAMPIONS UNLV won the Mountain West Championship for the second straight year. It marked the fourth MW title for the Rebels. UNLV became the first MW program to win back-to-back team titles since New Mexico did it in 2013 and 2014, and it marked the first back-toback titles for UNLV since joining the league. The Rebels’ four MW titles are the second-most in league history. UNLV was a shot better (-18) than runner-up Colorado State (-17). The Rebels were led individually by John Oda and Harry Hall. Oda tied for sixth at 6-under, while Hall tied for eighth at 5-under.

MOUNTAIN WEST HONORS For the first time since 2002, Dwaine Knight was named the Mountain West Men’s Golf Coach of the Year. In addition, John Oda was selected as the league’s Player of the Year, while Shintaro Ban, Harry Hall and Oda were all tabbed all-conference performers. Oda’s Player of the Year honor marked the first for a Rebel golfer since Derek Ernst won it in 2011. Oda is the fourth different Rebel to win the MW award. Knight has also been named the MW Coach of the Year in 2002, the WAC Coach of the Year in 1998 and the Big West Coach of the Year in 1989.

Rebel golf boasted yet another outstanding year in the classroom in 2016-17. Shintaro Ban, Harry Hall, Taylor Montgomery and John Oda each received Academic AllMountain West accolades. It was the third straight year that Ban and Oda were recognized with the award, while it was Hall's second time. 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 SCHOLARATHLETES Harry Hall and John Oda were named MW ScholarAthletes. It was the third straight year that Oda made the list. The MW Scholar-Athlete Award is one of the highest academic honors bestowed by the conference. To be eligible for selection, studentathletes 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 NCAAsponsored sport.

ODA RECOGNIZED UNLV junior John Oda was a semifinalist for the Jack Nicklaus Award. He was also named to the Ben Hogan Award Watch List and was invited to participate in a practice session for the 2017 Walker Cup Match.

HALL ADDED TO EUROPEAN TEAMS Harry Hall, who hails from Hayle, England, played for Europe in the Arnold Palmer Cup in 2017. The annual Ryder Cup-style competition was played at at Atlanta Athletic Club. Hall is the eighth person from UNLV to participate in a Palmer Cup. A two-time Mountain West Golfer of the Week, Hall was also selected for the England men’s golf squad in 2016.

MULTIPLE WINS As a team, UNLV won three tournaments during the 2016-17 season. The Rebels tied for first at the season-opening Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colo., then won the Mountain West and NCAA Regional titles. Individually, three Rebels captured medalist honors during the year: John Oda twice (Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational and Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate) and Justin Kim (The Jackrabbit Invitational).

MOUNTAIN WEST GOLFERS OF THE WEEK UNLV had three recipients of the Mountain West Golfer of the Week Award during the 2016-17 season. Harry Hall earned the honor twice, while Justin Kim also was recognized.

or the 43rd 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 42-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 13 overall and five of the last 10.

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.

NCAA Championship

REBELS SEEK 21ST NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE IN 2018

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 2018, UNLV will be seeking its 21st appearance at the national finals. The Rebels have qualified for 20 NCAA finals since Dwaine Knight took over the program, including twice in the last five seasons where the Rebels advanced to the Elite Eight, including last season in 2017. UNLV has enjoyed much success at the finals, finishing in the top eight on 11 different occasions and in the top 15, 13 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 Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla. The NCAA finals will be held May 25-30, 2018. A new format was introduced nine 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.

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, current PGA Tour golfer and Ryder Cup Champion "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 31st 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 20 trips to the national finals and coached them to 11 top-eight finishes. Additionally, he has led his team to a current NCAA-record 29 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 46 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 seven Palmer Cup representatives. Additionally, three 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 eight conference championships and has developed 80 all-conference players. Since 1998, Knight has helped 15 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. Seven of those are still active and have combined for 29 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 five times (1979, 1989, 1998, 2002 and 2017) 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, then in 2016 it was inducted into the SNSHOF, and in 2009 Knight was named the Southern Nevada Chapter's PGA Golf Professional of the Year. He was also 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 31st year leading the Rebel program. He is pictured here with former Rebel All-American, current PGA Tour star and Ryder Cup Champion Ryan Moore.

Serving as caddy for former Rebel great Warren Schutte at the 1993 Masters, Knight got to see one of his pupil's dreams come true.

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, 4-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, 13-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, 5-time PGA Tour Champion, 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup Team “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 fourth 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." Rowe was instrumental in helping UNLV get back to the top of the Mountain West, winning its first conference championship in 14 years in 2016. The program again won the conference title in 2017, then captured the NCAA West Lafayette Regional championship. It marked just the second time in program history winning the league and NCAA Regional titles in the same season. Last year's team went on to make an Elite Eight appearance at the NCAA Championship. Academic achievement is just as important to Coach Rowe. Under his watch, four Rebel student-athletes have earned Cleveland Golf/Srixon AllAmerica Scholar honors. 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 (6); and a daughter: Iris (4). Rowe can also still hold his own on the course, as he won the 2016 Southern Nevada Amateur Championship by two shots.

Coach Rowe served as Europe's Palmer Cup Assistant Coach in 2013 (above) & 2014 (right).

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.

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.

2017 Honored Member

ontinuing a tradition born in 1987, the UNLV Rebel Golf Foundation honors an individual, group of individuals or an organization each year for their generous support of the program. The title of “Honored Member” goes to those whose dedication furthers UNLV’s goals of maintaining a championship-caliber team.

Now a Rebel Golf Foundation Board Member, he has frequently traveled to UNLV's

away tournaments to watch the Rebels. "Jim has been a longtime supporter of our program," Knight said. "He has always had great enthusiasm and passion for young players.

Rebel Golf Day Through The Years

Head Coach Dwaine Knight addresses the crowd.

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 and this year is special as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Rebel Golf Foundation.

COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSON

CAROLAYNE HENRY Sr. Assoc. Commissioner Compliance/SWA

DARRYL SEIBEL Chief Brand and Communications Officer

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.

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 19th season of competition in 201718, 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 and ESPN, and 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 college football landscape -- both 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 first 18 years of competition, the Mountain West has participated in 84 bowl games, amassing a 46-38 (.548) all-time record in those contests. Over the last 13 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. In 2016, the national championship squad was honored again by entering the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame. The most recent Hall of Fame honor went to Ryan Moore, who was inducted into UNLV's Athletics HOF in 2017.

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. 79

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 senior-year 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 200405 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 five victories: the 2009 Wyndham Championship, the 2012 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, the 2013 and 2014 CIMB Classics and the 2016 John Deere Classic. Moore played in the 2016 Ryder Cup for the United States and he finished like a Rebel by making the clinching putt for the USA.

Michael Kirk (right) led the Rebels to a 23-stroke victory at the inaugural Mountain West Championship while capturing the individual crown.

Ryan Moore set a MW Championship record for low 54-hole score with a 10-under 206 when he won the conference title in 2004. That stood for 11 years until Kurt Kitayama shot 11-under at the tournament in 2015.

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 seven 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 2017 with Harry Hall's selection to the Europe Palmer Cup team. In 2012, Derek Ernst was selected to the United States' team, while prior to that Ryan Moore earned his second selection in 2004. Hall became the sixth 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.

Rebels On The PGA Tour

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. Three former Rebel golfers have had the honor of competing in the Ryder Cup for the United States: Chad Campbell, Chris Riley and Ryan Moore. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, Riley played in 2004, and Moore in 2016. 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., and 2016 at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. Moore finished like a Rebel to clinch the cup for the USA.

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 eight Presidents Cups as a member of the International Team. He has participated in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. 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. In 2017, Charley Hoffman joined the United States squad.

Adam Scott has played in the Presidents Cup seven times, while Charley Hoffman joined the U.S. team in 2017.

Chad Campbell, Chris Riley and Ryan Moore have all played in the Ryder Cup for the United States. Campbell was a member of the team in 2004, 2006 and 2008, Riley played in 2004 and Moore in 2016.

Six former UNLV men's golfers have recorded a total of 28 top-10 finishes at Major PGA Tour tournaments and in 2013 Adam Scott became the first former Rebel to win a Major - The Masters TOP-10 FINISHES IN PGA TOUR MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS BY FORMER REBELS Player

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. The team was also inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.

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. During his career, he has won four times on the PGA Tour - 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 $25.8 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 third in UNLV history), turned in a career scoring average of 71.80 - also ranking third all-time. His senior year's average of 71.39 is the ninth-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 earned more than $2.1 million on the PGA Tour and has turned in five 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.

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. Throughout his career, he spent time on both the PGA and Nationwide Tours. 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.

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 fourth times at the 2013 and 2014 CIMB Classics. His fifth PGA Tour win came in 2016 at the John Deere Classic. He has a total of seven second-place finishes on the PGA Tour and 61 top-10s. He has earned over $26.9 million during his PGA Tour career. Moore played in the 2016 Ryder Cup for the United States and he finished like a Rebel by making the clinching putt for the USA. He was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017.

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 maintained his tour card from 1999-2013 and 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 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. Riley was a volunteer assistant coach with UNLV men's golf and is now the head coach at the University of San Diego.

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 13 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, the 2014 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, and the Honda Classic and WGC-Cadillac Championship in 2016. His victory at the 2013 Masters marked the first major championship ever by a former Rebel. For his career, Scott has earned more than $46.9 million on the PGA Tour. He has played in 283 tournaments, making the cut 233 times. He has 11 second-place finishes, 10 third-place showings and 85 in the top 10. He has recorded 16 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.

Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and the state’s taxpayers. Private donors have played an important role as well. These gifts support new facilities and programs and, most important, provide the scholarship incentives that bring Nevada’s best and brightest student scholars to campus. UNLV operates an on-campus Center for Business and Economic Research, Center for Economic Education, Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies (in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Desert Biology Research Center, Center for Survey Research, Nuclear Waste Transportation Research Center and other research and public-service centers.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Desiree

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

REED-FRANCOIS

Desiree Reed-Francois became UNLV’s 13th permanent director of athletics on June 1, 2017. She is the first Hispanic female athletics director at the FBS level. Reed-Francois has more than two decades of leadership experience as an athlete, attorney and athletics administrator and is considered one of the profession’s rising stars. At UNLV, she oversees all aspects of the athletics program, including general operations, fiscal affairs, facilities, strategic planning and external relations. In three years at Virginia Tech from 2014-17, Reed-Francois was the executive associate athletic director and later deputy athletic director, serving as second-in-command to the athletics director and was responsible for external relations and dayto-day operations for 22 sports, more than 600 student-athletes, and 14 facilities. An administrator with an eye toward balancing the complex external and internal facets of a Power Five athletics department, Reed-Francois partnered on budget development for all athletics units at Virginia Tech, prepared the department’s facilities master plan, redesigned fundraising strategy, and revitalized the university’s student-athlete success program. Under her leadership, overall ticket, marketing, and licensing revenue rose by more than 20 percent the past two years and the institution secured the largest corporate development gifts in program history. This included a season ticket sellout for football and marked attendance increases in men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, soccer and softball. She was one of just four women in the nation responsible for day-to-day operations of a Power Five football program and helped orchestrate the most-attended football game in history in 2016 when Virginia Tech and Tennessee met in front of more than 156,000 fans at Bristol Motor Speedway. Working closely with Virginia Tech athletics director Whit Babcock, Reed-Francois was instrumental in the recruitment and hiring of current Hokies head football coach Justin Fuente (the reigning ACC Coach of the Year) and coaches for women’s basketball and lacrosse – all of which

recently enjoyed stellar seasons. She also led the search for first-year VT volleyball coach Jill Lytle Wilson. Prior to Virginia Tech, Reed-Francois spent two years at the University of Cincinnati as senior associate athletics director and senior woman administrator. There, she was a member of the executive staff whose duties included external affairs, sport oversight and negotiation of the university’s contract with the Cincinnati Bengals for use of Paul Brown Stadium during a campus stadium renovation. She also served for a period in 2014 as interim athletics director. A former student-athlete at UCLA (rowing), Reed-Francois is a strong advocate for studentathletes and understands the importance of leadership development and mentorship in ensuring their future success. She believes leadership development is at the core of college athletics and says universities should create an environment that supports opportunities to positively impact lives and develop leaders in student-athletes, coaches, and staff. During her career in athletics administration, Reed-Francois has worked at the University of Tennessee, Fresno State, Santa Clara, San Jose State, the University of California-Berkeley, and the University of San Francisco. At Tennessee, she was the first female administrator in SEC history to oversee men’s basketball. Her work has covered athletics compliance, program oversight, budget management, brand development and marketing, strategic planning, major gifts cultivation, contracts and legal counsel, student-athlete services, and facilities management. Before working in college athletics, she was a practicing lawyer and also spent time as a legal associate for the Oakland Raiders and the NFL’s Management Council. Reed-Francois earned a bachelor’s degree from UCLA and a juris doctorate from the University of Arizona College of Law. She is a member of the Califonia Bar and taught law classes at Tennessee and Santa Clara.
