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 tourna- ment, 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 pro- fessional 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.

Arguably the top transfer in UNLV golf history, Chad Campbell came to Las Vegas as a junior-college All-American from Midland College in 1994 and left as one of the most consistent Rebels ever. The big-hitting Texan played every round of every tournament during his two seasons and led the squad with 16 rounds par-or-under in his final campaign.
One of two senior leaders in 1995-96 along with Chris Riley, the quiet big man spoke loudly with his clubs for one of the greatest-ever Rebel squads. His 15 career top-20 finishes included helping UNLV charge back from 11 strokes back on the final day of the Golf Digest Collegiate Invitational with Campbell earning medallist honors. That team ultimately finished three strokes behind Arizona State at the 1996 NCAA Championship and posted a then-school-best No. 2 national finish.
Campbell, a third-team All-American and a 2006 inductee into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame, earned his degree in hotel administration before turning pro. A 13-time winner on the Hooters Tour, he eventually was the leading money winner and tour MVP three times. In 2001, Campbell became only the third player to be promoted from the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) to the PGA Tour after he won his third event of the season and set the tour record for single-season earnings.
Almost overnight, this Texan-turned-Rebel became one of the most feared players on the PGA Tour. He finished the 2002 season with more than $825,000 in earnings and a pair of top-10 showings. After three runner-up finishes the next year, Campbell struck gold with a victory at the 2003 PGA Tour Championship, the final event of the season and a payday worth more than $1 million.
He completed his second full year on Tour in 2003, finishing seventh on the money list with almost $4 million in earnings. He has now won four total tournaments - the others: the 2004 Bay Hill Invitational, the 2006 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and the 2007 Viking Classic.
Campbell played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup for a third time in 2008 and for his career, he has earned more than $21.8 mil- lion on the PGA Tour.

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 All- American 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 fourth in program history.
Ernst, who shot two 64s in college tournaments (ranks second in UNLV history), turned in a career scoring average of 71.80 - also ranking second all-time. His senior year's average of 71.39 is the sixth-best by a UNLV golfer.
In 2012, Ernst played in just one PGA Tour event, finishing tied for 41st at the Frys.com Open.
Then as a rookie in 2013, Ernst won his first PGA Tour title in a playoff at the Wells Fargo Championship. That tournament was just his ninth career start, and he was granted a spot in the field off the alternate list Monday of tournament week after another player withdrew.
He has already earned more than $1.3 million on the PGA Tour.

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 cham- pion 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 indi- vidual championship. He graduated from UNLV in 1994 with a degree in business management.

His best finish was a tie for third at the 2000 MCI Classic.

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 col- legiate 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 pro- gram 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.
He has a total of six second-place finishes on the PGA Tour, two third- place finishes, 39 top-10s and 71 top-25s. He has earned over $15.6 million during his PGA Tour career.

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 fin- ish at the 1996 NCAA Golf Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn.
And, maybe most important, Riley capped off his astounding UNLV career by graduating in May of 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. In 2006, he was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.
Riley played on the Buy.com Tour (now known as Nationwide) for one year before earning his Tour card at “Q School” in 1998. He went on to tie for seventh in his first Tour event, the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he won more than $75,000.
Riley has maintained his tour card since 1999 and has steadily climbed up the money list. In 2003, he finished 23rd on the money list with just over $2 million in earnings. He recorded his first win in 2002 at the Reno-Tahoe Open and in 2004 he played for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup.
His best finish in 2005 was a tie for 18th at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and in 2006 his best finish of the season was a tie for fifth at the Valero Texas Open. In 2008, he tied for third at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwuakee and in 2009, he tied for seventh at the same event.
In 2010, he had three top-10 finishes, including fourth at the Travelers Championship and in 2011, his best was a tie for ninth at the Sony Open in Hawaii. For his career, Riley has earned more than $11.5 million on the PGA Tour.

Although his stint in a Rebel uniform was brief, Adam Scott’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 fresh- man 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 men- tion 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 profes- sional win at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
Scott has won 10 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 Barclays in 2013 and the 2013 Masters.
His victory at the 2013 Masters marked the first major champion- ship ever by a former Rebel.
For his career, Scott has earned more than $33.1 million on the PGA Tour. He has played in 213 tournaments, making the cut 170 times. He has nine second-place finishes, nine thirds, 59 top-10s and 99 top-25s.
He has recorded 11 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.
