1991 Championship Summary
UCLA won its first and only NCAA title in women's golf in 1991 at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course. The Bruins won five tournaments that season, one shy of the school record, and entered the tournament as one of the favorites to capture the team crown.
The Bruins overcame a six-stroke deficit on the final two holes to tie San Jose State after 72 holes.
The teams began the first-ever NCAA Championship sudden death playoff format and on the first extra hole, UCLA's LaRee Sugg sank a 25-foot birdie putt to win the school's second golf team championship (the men won in 1988).
Individually, the Bruins Christy Erb finished second to Arizona's Annika Sorenstam. Erb's 291 total was three-over par. Lisa Kiggens finished in a tie for 13th at 300 and Sugg tied for 16th at 301.
Kiggens, Sugg and Debbi Koyama earned All-American honors, while each of those players plus Elizabeth Bowman was awarded All-Pac-10 honors.
