UCLA is making a trip to the Badger State for the fourth-straight season, having played the last three years in the Erin Hills Intercollegiate at Erin Hills Golf Course, the site of the 2017 U.S. Open. The Bruins have not finished worse than third in either of their trips to Wisconsin, finishing first in 2014, second in 2013 and third in 2015. Last season, Bruin alum Jonathan Garrick won the tournament, while Murphy (T-19), Delisi (T-24) and Madey (T-40) also competed.
After sitting out the fall season a year ago following a transfer from Oregon State, Collier, who finished in a tie for 14th this summer at the California State Fair, appeared in four matches during the spring portion, posting a scoring average of 74.5 in 13 rounds. His best round of the season was during the third round of the Pac-12 Championships when he shot a 1-under 70. Delisi played in nine tournaments and 28 total rounds as a freshman, recording a scoring average of 75.8. He posted a pair of 1-under 71 rounds at the Erin Hills Intercollegiate and Amer Ari Invitational, while this summer, he notched a 58 in a win at a Japan ATP Tour event.
Madey, who tied for 17th at the Cal State Fair, earned All-Pac-12 Freshman Team honors a year ago, playing in 11 tournaments and 34 rounds with a 73.6 scoring average. He had four top 20 finishes, six rounds under par and three in the 60's. Madey's best finishes were a T-12 at the Gifford Collegiate, a T-13 at the Amer Ari and a T-15 at Pac-12s. Murphy, who finished third this summer at the Cal State Fair, played in eight tournaments and 24 rounds as a freshman, posting a scoring average of 75.5. He had one top 10, two top 20's, four rounds under par and two in the 60's, with a T-9 at the season-opening Northern Intercollegiate.
Yoshihara prepped at Woodbridge High School (Irvine, Calif.) and won the 2016 CIF State Championship, birdieing his final four holes to post the lowest score at CIF State since 2006 (Rickie Fowler, 64). He was a two-time Rolex All-American and was the runner-up at the '16 California State Amateur Championship. Hutchins comes to UCLA after spending the 2015-2016 campaign at Chico State, where he played in 11 tournaments and 35 rounds, recording a pair of top 10's, four top 20's, 11 under-par rounds and five in the 60's.
