HISTORY

Why LSU?

LSU

David Toms 2001 PGA Champion and LSU Graduate

“As far back as I can remember, I have literally bled purple and gold. It never crossed my mind that there was anywhere else to go other than LSU. The experiences and relationships that I developed at LSU have been an integral part of my life. No other colleges existed in my mind. I am fortunate to have attended a place that I considered a dream and look forward to my association with the University until the day I die.”

“It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

“Throughout the entire recruiting process I always knew LSU was the best choice. Being from the great state of Louisiana, LSU was a home away from home. I knew that this would be a place I could grow as a student-athlete and a young man. The coaches, faculty, and the 92,000 marvelous fans only help to make the decision much easier. Looking back on it, I couldn’t have asked for more from the experience.”

“I was basically an in-state guy and had always thought about going to LSU for football and to get a good education. I made a lot of visits to different schools in my selection process, but everything always pointed toward LSU. My heart and my family guided me in that direction not just for the athletics, but for the academics as well. From top to bottom LSU has good people from the coaches on down the line.”

2011-12 LSU Men’s golf MEDIA GUIDE

For more than a decade, the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams have called University Club home. The course received the honor of being ranked the 13th-best home for college golf in the country, according to a survey published in the September 2005 issue of Golf Digest. The evaluation by Golf Digest ranked the top 15 home courses in college golf, and included such criteria as shot values, resistance to scoring, course layout and design, memorability and conditioning. After undergoing extensive renovations in 2010, the home of LSU’s nationally-ranked men’s and women’s programs features a newly-designed par-72 layout that will serve as an impressive showpiece for generations to come.

The course at the University Club was re-designed under the guidance of LSU legend and PGA Tour pro David Toms and renowned golf course architect Jim Lipe, who designed the original University Club in 1998. The course is carved into nearly 300 acres of land just seven miles south of the LSU campus on Nicholson Drive. It comes as no surprise that the University Club has already been selected as an NCAA Men’s Golf Regional host site for the 2013 season, marking the first time in the illustrious history of the LSU men’s golf program that the Tigers will serve as hosts to an NCAA postseason tournament on its home course. The challenging 18-hole, par-72 course at University Club will play to 7,700 yards from its championship tees and feature wide fairways bordered by pine hammocks and native grasses, in addition to 2,000 feet of beautiful bulkhead. Four additional sets of tees are also available for players of all ages and skill levels. In addition, the lake areas have been increased by 110,000 cubic yards in total and more than 500 trees have been added throughout the course to provide a challenging test of golf for anyone playing the University Club. Not only that, but the course now has one of the most impressive finishing holes in golf as the 18th hole on the back nine features a new championship “Tiger” tee with a beautiful six-foot high wood bulkhead. The lake was expanded near the green, where an additional 180 feet of bulkhead was also added. The course was built on land donated to the Tiger Athletic Foundation and subsequently leased to The University Club. The original vision that drove University Club’s development was having a premier course that would provide a place for TAF members to play, as well as a home for the men’s and women’s golf teams at LSU. The course opened for members on Oct. 22, 1998. The swimming and tennis facility adjacent to the course opened in the summer of 2000. The surrounding housing development continues to grow as homes continue to spring up, adding to the beauty of the area surrounding the golf course. The Tiger Athletic Foundation is a private, non-profit corporation that serves as the fund-raising and development arm of the LSU athletics department. Each year, the TAF underwrites scholarship and academics awards, as well as capital development projects for LSU athletics.

practice facilitY On April 15, 2011, the former LSU Golf House was renamed the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility in honor of Mary and Woody Bilyeu following their generous donation toward the redesign of the new University Club and practice facility. Donations raised by the Tiger Athletic Foundation allowed for extensive renovations to the University Club and practice facility in 2010, creating a more challenging venue for collegiate golfers while attracting championship level events to the University Club. The NCAA subsequently awarded the University Club the honor of serving as one of six host sites for the 2013 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regionals. The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility first opened in the fall of 2002 to rave reviews from players, coaches and members of the athletic administration alike.

It also includes locker rooms, an indoor driving range with two hitting bays and a state-of-the-art learning center which can utilize video analysis to benefit each player’s development in a classroom setting. Outside the facility is a practice tee box that measures 100 yards in length, a brand new wedge game area built in 2007 and a 10,000 square-foot putting and pitching green surrounded by practice bunkers where players are able to practice in a spacious environment.

Chuck Winstead, who is the head coach of the men’s golf team and a Top 100 Teacher according to Golf Magazine, believes that having such a facility is essential in the development of his players and is evidence that LSU is committed to running a first-class program. “The facility offers our student-athletes an environment second to none to excel and reach their potential,” Winstead said. “The combination of state-of-the-art technology to work on their game combined with our indoor putting area to fine-tune their stroke enables our players to maximize their ability. We are able to utilize the tools we have to get the best out of each player and teach them in a comfortable setting.”

Putting Green

The practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility feature a brand new wedge game area with three target greens, each measuring 2,000 square feet. Players can fine-tune their wedge game by hitting shots from all lies and angles up to 120 yards as the greens are guarded by rough and five bunkers. The project, designed by LSU alumni David Toms, Jim Lipe and Chuck Winstead, was completed in the summer of 2007.

In addition to building a new wedge game area, recent renovations to the practice facilities at The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility saw the completion of a brand new putting green measuring 10,000 square feet along with an existing putting green measuring 14,000 square feet that has been overseeded with bent grass. In all, the improvements to the practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility are estimated at $150,000.

No. 3

In its original state, through the summer of 2009, the U-Club played at just over 7,200 yards from its Tiger Tees and just over 6,000 yards for the early LSU Women’s Golf Classics. Now the course measures out at a hefty 7,700 yards from the Tiger Tees

and an impressive 6,602 yards from member tees. Here are some characteristics of the course and pictures of the holes (tees are listed in the following order: Tiger-Scratch-Member-SeniorLadies/Juniors).

No. 1 – Par 4 – 456-402-385-349-274 A championship tee lengthened the hole some 50 yards. The former waste bunker on the left side was replaced by an area of pine hammock and several trees planted in the right rough. On the approach shot, players have to watch for a grass hollow that replaced greenside bunkers.

No. 1

No. 2 – Par 4 – 447-435-382-324-312 A good hole that didn’t need a lot of change. Two bunkers tempt those looking to carry a drive and the raised left side of the green creates a top shelf pin placement. No. 3 – Par 5 – 673-632-578-542-496 Can you say long? The No.1 handicap hole on the course had 53 yards added to its Tiger distance and features native grass areas down both sides of a fairway that was much easier to hit. The water has been expanded off the tee, replacing the old fairway bunker. The elevated green makes a more demanding approach.

No. 5 – Par 3 – 189-172-155-137-96 This picturesque par 3 loses the wide bail-out area on the right as you look from the tee.

No. 6 – Par 5 – 573-554-522-478-450 This hole has a whole new identity with a new lake down the entire length of the hole. A creek also crosses the fairway, directly in the landing zone of most hitters. The creek extends into a pond at the green making the approach shot more demanding.

No. 9 – par 4 – 486-467-443-394-345 The second longest par 4 on the course has several trees down the right side. Waste bunkers have been replaced by pine hammock areas and native grass comes into play on the left side. The result is a tighter landing area to try to place a drive.

The water down the right has been expended close to the newly-elevated green, placing a premium on getting the ball to the hole. No. 12 – Par 4 – 422-410-368-350-307 Several trees will cause problem with errant drives on both sides of the hole. A new sand bunker has replaced a grass bunker in front of the green.

Director of Athletics

Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fourth season at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008, after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva was recently appointed to a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Alleva’s vision for LSU athletics facilities includes plans to enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium and transform the North Stadium Drive corridor into a showplace for the university. Under his direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface last year when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the LSU Soccer Stadium has been completed this fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex, and renovations to the Maravich Center and Carl Maddox Field House. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers were third in the final team standings, marking the highest finish in LSU history. LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2010-11, highlighted by a Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The 2010-11 athletic year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams.

In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. This past year LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row. Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills. And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU student-athletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes. Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he made two critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff in the off-season. He lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, bringing a new wealth of knowledge and passion to the LSU women’s sports program. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest,

PREVIEW

COACHES

a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/ Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history.

Dr. Michael V. Martin Chancellor, LSU

Dr. Michael V. Martin assumed the chancellorship of Louisiana State University and A&M College on August 1, 2008. Prior to his appointment as LSU’s eighth chancellor, Dr. Martin established a distinguished career in higher education, serving most recently as president of New Mexico State University. Before arriving at NMSU in 2004, Dr. Martin served for six years as vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, leading the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. He was elevated to senior vice president of the University of Florida shortly before being selected as NMSU’s president. Previously, he was vice president for agricultural policy and the dean of the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota. He began his academic career at Oregon State University as a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. An academic leader dedicated to the land-grant mission, Dr. Martin is recognized as a strong voice for higher education. In 2007, he received the Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Award, named after the author of the bill creating land-grant universities, which honors outstanding service on behalf of the land-grant mission. Only six individuals have been designated to receive this award since it was first given in 1980.

He traced the history of the land-grant movement from the mid-1800s and concluded that “the fundamental land-grant principles of accessibility, practical as well as classical education, research and discovery in the public interest, and connectedness to all the people remain powerful and profound.” A native of Crosby, Minn., Dr. Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in business and economics and a master’s degree in economics at Mankato State College (Minnesota State University) in Minnesota.

Next Generation of Tigers Seek Identity in New Season While the name on the bag remains the same, a new generation of Tigers will look to form its own identity during the 2011-12 campaign and carve out a legacy of its own in the storied tradition that is LSU Golf. It’s a proud tradition with four NCAA championships and 15 SEC championships in its trophy case, and the Tigers are among the nation’s best again this year following back-to-back trips to the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships in 2010 and 2011. With Tiger great John Peterson leading the way, the Tigers picked up a 21st-place finish in the 30-team field at the 2011 NCAA Championships held at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla., while cementing their position as one of the premier programs in college golf with a No. 11 national ranking for the final Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index of the season. Peterson actually became the first LSU Tiger in 70 years to be crowned a national champion with his one-stroke victory after firing a 5-under par 211 in three rounds at the NCAA Championships to join a short list of LSU greats that includes NCAA medalists Fred Haas, Jr. (1937) and Earl Stewart (1941). Peterson’s championship victory proved to be the highlight of a tremendous campaign

in which the Tigers captured four tournament titles for the first time in 25 years since 198586. LSU opens the new season as winners of 10 tournament titles in its last 36 appearances over the past three years. Although the Tigers will not return to the Gopher Invitational to defend their team championship, they look to defend titles at the David Toms Intercollegiate in the fall and both the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate and LSU National Invitational during the 2012 spring season. While Peterson is now pursuing a professional career as one of the top young talents in the game, the Tigers must also find replacements for such standouts as two-time All-American Andrew Loupe, Ken Looper and Clayton Rotz if they hope to continue their run of success under seventh-year head coach and LSU alum Chuck Winstead. A native of Carrollton, Texas, senior Sang Yi is one of LSU’s two returning NCAA Championships veterans from last year as he tied for 88th place in the field of 150 competitors at Karsten Creek last June. Yi’s final score of 13-over par 229 included a team-leading 2-under 70 in the final round of medal play as he fired his best score in two career appearances at the NCAA Championships. While making

12 starts for the Tigers in 2010-11, Yi set a new career-low with a 73.6 scoring average to rank third on the roster. Yi is already off to a fast start this fall as he matched his career-best tournament finish by earning a tie for third place at the 2011 Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic while firing a 5-under 211 for three days in the event held Sept. 9-11 at The Farm Golf Club in Rocky Face, Ga. Joining Yi as a sure leader of this year’s team is fellow senior Austin Gutgsell, who is coming off a junior campaign in which he competed in 11 tournaments for the Tigers. Gutgsell made national news during the 2010 fall season as he was named the Golfweek National Player of the Week after claiming the individual championship at the David Toms Intercollegiate. Despite competing as an individual, Gutgsell fired the fourth-lowest tournament score by a Tiger since 1985 as he scored a four-shot victory with his total of 10-under 206 at the Country Club of Louisiana. He also earned postseason starts at both the NCAA East Regional Championships and NCAA Championships a year ago. Gutgsell and Yi are the only upperclassmen on the Tigers’ roster this season as they are joined by four sophomores and three freshmen looking to make their mark on the program early

Sophomore Andrew Presley proved to be the team’s top freshman a year ago as he made a total of eight tournament appearances as part of one of the more talented lineups in all of college golf. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Presley wrapped up his freshman campaign with a 74.1 scoring average while earning one top-10 finish and three top-20 finishes during his rookie season with the Tigers. He was actually a part of LSU’s lineup that defended its team title at the 2011 Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate last spring. While sophomores Franco Castro, Smylie Kaufman and Landon Lyons saw playing time a season ago as freshmen, they welcome a starstudded recruiting class to Baton Rouge this season that features the likes of rookie stars Stewart Jolly (Birmingham, Ala.), Myles Lewis (New Orleans) and Curtis Thompson (Coral Springs, Fla.) as each ranked among the nation’s Top 50 recruits for the Class of 2011. Despite their youth, the Tigers earned their place in the 2011-12 preseason rankings with a No. 17 national ranking in the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches’ Preseason Top 25 released in late August. The Tigers opened the new season with an appearance at the Carpet Capital Collegiate Classic for which they earned an eighth-place finish against a tremendous field with their opening score of 9-over par 873. While Yi set the pace for LSU with a tie for third place on the leaderboard, Castro tied for 21st place, Thompson finished in 32nd place and both Kaufman and Presley tied for 50th place in their season debut in the event held at The Farm Golf Club. LSU’s 2011-12 regular season is highlighted by a pair of home tournaments with the thirdannual David Toms Intercollegiate being held Oct. 17-18 at Southern Trace Country Club in Shreveport, La., and the 34th LSU National Invitational returning to the University Club in Baton Rouge on March 31-April 1.

The field at the David Toms Intercollegiate includes such teams as Kansas State, Lamar, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, SMU, South Alabama and Tulsa, while the field at the LSU National Invitational features the likes of Boston College, Furman, Iowa, Iowa State, UL-Lafayette, Louisiana Tech, Michigan, Minnesota, UNC-Wilmington and Chattanooga. The Tigers are also set to compete in such events as the Jack Nicklaus Invitational (Oct. 10-11) in Dublin, Ohio, the Isleworth Collegiate Invitational (Oct. 23-25) in Windermere, Fla., the John Hayt Invitational (Feb. 26-28) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., the Louisiana Classics (March 5-6) in Lafayette, La., the Louisiana Tech Bulldog Invitational (March 11-13) in Choudrant, La., and the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate (March 25-27) in Awendaw, S.C. The SEC Men’s Golf Championships return to St. Simons Island, Ga., for the 12th-straight season as the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club will play host to the event for the 10th time during that span. This year’s event will be held April 20-22 as the Tigers enter the season with top-five finishes for each of the last three seasons, including a fifth-place finish in 2011. The NCAA’s format for postseason play has

been a smashing success since it was instituted three years ago as Texas A&M (2009) and Augusta State (2010, 2011) have been crowned national champions in the title match following an eight-team match play tournament at the NCAA Championships. The University of Southern California will play host to the 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships at Riviera Golf Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., from May 29-June 3. In its current format, the NCAA individual champion is determined in 54 holes of medal play with the top eight squads from the 30-team field earning a spot in a seeded match play tournament to crown the NCAA champion. The team with the lowest score after three rounds of competition will play the team with the eighth-lowest score, the second-place team will play the seventh-place team and so on in single-elimination match play until a champion is crowned. The idea is that the newly-established format is a more attractive option for television coverage of the NCAA Championships in the future. Teams will qualify for a spot in the 30-team field at the NCAA Championships through one of six NCAA Regional tournaments held across the country from May 17-19. Thirteen teams will be selected to compete in each regional tournament with the top-five teams earning a spot in the field at the 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships.

2011 David Toms Intercollegiate 2012 LSU National Invitational Southern Trace Country Club – Shreveport, La. Par 72 – 7,015 yards

University Club – Baton Rouge, La. Par 72 – 7,700 yards

After playing host to the David Toms Intercollegiate in Baton Rouge at 2011 David Toms the Country Club of Louisiana in each Intercollegiate of the past two seasons, the Tigers will Field take their game to north Louisiana this fall as they play host to the third-annual Kansas State event at Southern Trace Country Club in Lamar Shreveport. The tournament is set make Louisiana-Lafayette its debut in the hometown of the great Louisiana Tech David Toms, who has enjoyed one of the most successful professional careers in LSU the history of the PGA Tour following a Mississippi State brilliant career at LSU in the late 1980s. Oklahoma Considered one of the most beautiful Ole Miss golf courses in the South, Southern Trace Country Club is an award-winning 18-hole SMU championship layout designed by the South Alabama renowned Arthur Hills that’s been voted Tulsa the No. 1-ranked golf course in the state of Louisiana by Golf Digest. The course features a layout that plays to a par 72 and 7,015 yards from the championship tees. Southern Trace features picturesque landscapes with celestial pine valleys, open meadows and its majestic oak forest. When playing its manicured fairways and championship Bermuda greens, it is easy to see why Arthur Hills proclaimed Southern Trace to be one of the most beautiful natural settings on which he has ever worked. The David Toms Intercollegiate is named in honor of perhaps the most prolific performer in the storied history of the LSU men’s golf program. In his four seasons at LSU from 1985-89, Toms claimed a total of three All-America honors, including back-to-back first-team selections in 1988 and 1989. He also captured a trio of First-Team AllSEC selections for his LSU career while being named the SEC Player of the Year in 1988 and 1989. The Tigers have taken the team title at the David Toms Intercollegiate in each of the last two seasons. Toms has since enjoyed a stellar PGA Tour career with 13 wins to his credit, including a major championship victory at the 2001 PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Duluth, Ga. Toms is ranked No. 7 on the PGA Tour’s all-time list for career earnings while taking home nearly $38 million for his professional tenure. He was recently selected to his fourth U.S. Presidents Cup team and the recipient of the Payne Stewart Award during the 2011 season.

The 2010-11 season saw the rebirth of one of LSU’s proudest traditions as 2012 LSU National the Tigers played host to the 2011 LSU Invitational National Invitational at the newlyField renovated University Club in Baton Rouge. Following a 19-year hiatus, the Tigers Boston College defended their home turf by claiming Furman their fourth team championship during a Iowa breakthrough season as one of the elite Iowa State programs in college golf. The Tigers played host to the LSU Louisiana-Lafayette National Invitational for 32-straight Louisiana Tech years from 1961-92 as the event earned a LSU reputation as one of the nation’s premier Michigan events during its era. In all, the Tigers claimed 10 team titles and eight individual Minnesota titles at the LSU National Invitational Purdue before their victory in the first event held UNC-Wilmington at the new-look University Club a year ago. The course at the University Club was re-designed under the guidance of Toms and architect Jim Lipe, who designed the original University Club in 1998. The course is carved into nearly 300 acres of land just seven miles south of the LSU campus on Nicholson Drive. It comes as no surprise that the University Club has already been selected as an NCAA Men’s Golf Regional host site for the 2013 season, marking the first time in the illustrious history of the LSU men’s golf program that the Tigers will serve as hosts to an NCAA postseason tournament on its home course. The challenging 18-hole, par-72 course at University Club will play to 7,700 yards from its championship tees and feature wide fairways bordered by pine hammocks and native grasses, in addition to 2,000 feet of beautiful bulkhead. In addition, the lake areas have been increased by 110,000 cubic yards in total and more than 500 trees have been added throughout the course to provide a challenging test of golf for anyone playing the University Club. Not only that, but the course now has one of the most impressive finishing holes in golf as the 18th hole on the back nine features a new championship “Tiger” tee with a beautiful six-goot high wood bulkhead. The lake was expanded near the green, where an additional 180 feet of bulkhead was also added.

2011-12 LSU Men’s golf MEDIA GUIDE

Head Coach Seventh Season

Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher The LSU men’s golf program has enjoyed a meteoric rise back to the pinnacle of college golf in just six seasons under head coach Chuck Winstead, and if the 2010-11 season is any indication, the Tigers are poised to contend for SEC and NCAA championships for years to come with an impressive run of success during his tenure. Winstead enters his seventh season leading a program that has claimed four national titles and 15 conference titles in its illustrious history. It’s a proud program that has also produced three NCAA medalists and 18 SEC medalists alltime. Former Tiger star John Peterson cemented his legacy among the greats as he led the Tigers to their most successful season under Winstead a year ago while being crowned the NCAA individual champion at the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships. While leading the Tigers to their second-straight NCAA appearance, Peterson became the third LSU Tiger all-time to capture the individual national championship after firing a 5-under par 211 at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla., in a performance that included a competitive course record 7-under 65 in the second round. The Fort Worth native secured a one-stroke victory over UCLA’s National Player of the Year Patrick Cantlay to take home the national title. With the win, Peterson became LSU’s first national champion in 70 years as he put up his name alongside former Tiger champions Fred Haas, Jr. (1937) and Earl Stewart (1941). Peterson put an exclamation point onto the end of a brilliant collegiate career in which he was honored as a threetime All-American and two-time First-Team All-SEC performer from 2007-11. Following his national championship victory in 2011, Peterson became the first Tiger to earn First-Team All-America recognition since the great David Toms following his senior season in 1989. Peterson also became just the fifth

three-time All-American in program history. The Tigers have also been led to the pinnacle of college golf by Andrew Loupe, who was a two-time All-American and two-time First-Team All-SEC selection in his own right from 2007-11. Loupe and Peterson proved to be the team’s most prolific duo since Toms and Greg Lesher combined for five All-America honors and seven All-SEC accolades in the late 1980s. In their sixth season under Winstead a year ago, the Tigers continued their impressive run while winning four tournament championships and earning a 21st-place finish in a second-straight appearance NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships. The team improved upon its 24th place in NCAA competition in the 2010 event held at The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. LSU opened the 2010-11 season by winning their second team title in three seasons at the Gopher Invitational in Wayzata, Minn., before defending their team championship at the David Toms Intercollegiate at the Country Club of Louisiana during the fall season. They then followed in the spring season by winning a pair of team titles in the span of a week by defending their crown at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate in Awendaw, S.C., and claiming the event crown at the LSU National Invitational in their regular-season finale. After claiming three team titles during both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, LSU made history by winning at least three tournament championships in three-straight seasons for the first time in program history. Their four team titles in 2010-11 also marked the first time since a 1985-86 campaign for the Tigers to win at least four tournaments in a season. With 11 team titles under his belt in six seasons, Winstead is now tied for the No. 4 spot among head coaches in career tournament victories in program history. After coaching the Tigers to their third-straight top-five finish at the SEC Championships with a fifth-place finish in 2011, Winstead then coached his squad to its fourth-place

finish for the NCAA East Regional Championships as the No. 2 seed in the tourney held in Blacksburg, Va., at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech. That performance earned the Tigers a second NCAA Championships appearance in as many seasons while qualifying in 2010 and 2011. Winstead, a Ruston native who played at LSU from 198991, believes that the foundation of any successful program is built on recruiting the best high school athletes the sport has to offer.

HISTORY

In six seasons, Winstead has not only proven himself as one of the premier coaches in the game, but he has also established a reputation as being one of the nation’s top recruiters while attracting many of the premier junior golfers in the country to Baton Rouge since his first class in 2005. The Tigers welcome another stellar class of recruits to campus for the 2011-12 season. With both Loupe and Peterson now pursuing professional careers, the Tigers are without two of the Top 40 golfers at the collegiate level after Peterson ranked No. 13 and Loupe ranked at No. 40 in the final Golfweek ranking of the top performers in the NCAA. Peterson actually ended his collegiate career in 2011 with one of the most prolific seasons statistically in school history as his 71.53 scoring average in the season and 72.58 scoring average for his career both rank No. 2 in LSU’s record books since 1982. Winstead’s reputation as one of the top golf teachers in the country has been evident with LSU’s performance on the course over the past six seasons as the team’s scoring average has dropped dramatically since his first season as head coach in 2005-06. After averaging 295.6 shots per round as a team during his inaugural season, the Tigers have lowered their scoring average for each season at 296.7 in 2006-07, 293.6 in 2007-08, 293.4 in 2008-09, 290.6 in 2009-10 and 290.5 a season ago. While the Tigers have enjoyed tremendous success on the course in six seasons under Winstead with two All-America, three All-SEC and four SEC All-Freshman performers, LSU has also achieved great success academically in the classroom with a total of 39 selections to the SEC Academic Honor Roll during his tenure as head coach. In 2011, two Tigers were even chosen as Cleveland Golf/ Srixon All-America Scholars as standouts Austin Gutgsell and Sang Yi received recognition for their effort in the classroom. Winstead is considered one of the top teaching

Assistant Coach Seventh Season

2011 Jan Strickland Award Finalist 2010 Jan Strickland Award Semifinalist 2005 NGCA Assistant Coach of the Year Shane Warren enters his seventh season as an assistant coach with the LSU men’s golf program as he is responsible for assisting head coach Chuck Winstead in LSU’s recruiting efforts, coordinating practice sessions, providing valuable assistance at tournaments and handling all day-to-day responsibilities with the team. With Warren’s assistance, LSU has enjoyed the rebirth of one of the most storied men’s golf programs in the NCAA as the Tigers have advanced to NCAA postseason play in each of the last four seasons, including consecutive trips to the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships in 2010 (24th place) and 2011 (21st place). And former Tiger star John Peterson made history with his performance a year ago in Stillwater, Okla., as he became the first LSU Tiger in 70 years to be crowned the NCAA medalist with his one-stroke victory over UCLA’s National Player of the Year Patrick Cantlay. Peterson fired a 5-under par 211 in 54 holes at Karsten Creek Golf Club to join the likes of past greats Fred Haas, Jr. (1937) and Earl Stewart (1941) as the only Tigers to win the NCAA individual crown. In one of the most storied careers in the history of the LSU men’s golf program, Peterson was a three-time All-American and two-time First-Team All-SEC performer in four seasons from 2007-11. In 2011, he became the first Tiger since David Toms in his senior season in 1989 to take home First-Team All-America honors. The Tigers have also been led to the pinnacle of college golf by Andrew Loupe, who was a two-time All-American during his collegiate career from 2007-11. Loupe teamed with Peterson in their four seasons together to form one of the elite 1-2 combinations in the NCAA while pacing the Tigers back into the national spotlight. Since Warren joined Winstead as an assistant coach prior to

the 2004-05 season, he has helped develop two All-Americans winning five All-America honors and three All-SEC selections winning six All-SEC honors during that span. In addition, four Tigers have been picked as members of the SEC All-Freshman Team for their efforts as rookies. In six seasons as an assistant coach, Warren has certainly helped LSU establish itself as one of the top golf programs in the NCAA while earning a pair of Top 25 national rankings in the Golfweek Preseason Top 25 poll in each of the last two seasons. After earning a No. 15 national ranking prior to the 2010-11 season, the Tigers open the 2011-12 campaign as the No. 23 team in the country according to Golfweek. LSU has also received a No. 17 preseason ranking for 2011-12 in the Golf World/Nike Golf Coaches’ Preseason Top 25. In fact, the Tigers spent much of the 2010-11 season among the Top 10 teams nationally while climbing as high as No. 6 in the Golfstat Top 25 ranking and No. 8 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index. The foundation of LSU’s success has been built on recruiting the nation’s premier players to Baton Rouge as Warren has certainly displayed his recruiting prowess during his tenure. That success has helped Warren earn national recognition during his tenure as he was selected one of three finalists for the 2011 Jan Strickland Award, which honors the assistant coach for NCAA Division I, II, III, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics or National Junior College Athletics Association that excelled in working with their student-athletes in success on the course and in the classroom. Warren was also chosen as one of 10 semifinalists for the award during the 2010 spring season. Warren served in the same capacity with head coach Karen Bahnsen and the nationally-ranked LSU women’s golf program from 2003 through the end of the 2006 season. He is considered one of the top assistant coaches in Division I college golf, and the National Golf Coaches Association Board of Directors named Warren the 2004-05 NGCA Assistant Coach of the Year in July 2005.

Under his guidance, the Lady Tigers went from a program that was ranked 55th nationally when he joined the staff to one that was ranked in the top 10 in his last two seasons with the team. Prior to his stints at Alabama and LSU, Warren served two years as the assistant golf professional at Hidden Meadows Golf Club in Northport, Ala., and one year as the head golf instructor at the Golden Bear Golf Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Andrew Loupe John Peterson Crowned 2011 NCAA Champion LSU senior John Peterson certainly provided the highlight of the 2010-11 campaign with his thrilling one-stroke victory at the NCAA Championships after firing a 5-under par 211 at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla. After opening with a modest 2-over 74 in the first round, Peterson fired a competitive course record 7-under 65 in the second round before closing out the championship with an even-par 72 in the final round to clinch the title by one shot over UCLA’s National Player of the Year Patrick Cantlay. Peterson’s title was clinched on the 54th and final hole when he sank a five-foot putt for birdie for an even-par 72 in the final round. He seemed to fall out of contention after posting a 4-over 40 on the front nine, but stormed back to reclaim the lead with a brilliant 4-under 32 on the back nine en route to his one-stroke victory. With the win, Peterson became the third LSU Tiger in program history to win the national championship, joining past greats Fred Haas, Jr. (1937) and Earl Stewart (1941). Peterson Earns Second Top 10 Finish at NCAAs Not only did Peterson become the third Tiger in program history to win the NCAA individual crown, but he became the first Tiger in history to earn back-to-back top-10 finishes in the event after tying for sixth place on the NCAA Championships leaderboard during a breakout junior season in 2010. In fact, Peterson also fired a 54-hole score of 5-under par 211 at The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn., en route to his first career top-10 finish in national competition. With back-to-back NCAA Championship scores of 5-under par 211, Peterson owns the lowest score in relation to par for a Tiger in the event since at least 1985. LSU Golf Makes History in Sweep of NCAA Championships With Peterson’s victory at the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships, LSU made history as it became the first college golf program to sweep NCAA individual titles after Lady Tiger freshman Austin Ernst claimed the women’s crown about two weeks before the Tiger senior. Ernst fired a 7-under par 281 in four rounds at the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championships held at The Traditions Club in College Station, Texas. Ernst’s performance actually helped lead the Lady Tigers to their best finish in team history at the NCAA Championships as they earned a third-place finish overall in the 2011 season finale. Tigers Travel to Stillwater for NCAA Tourney The Tigers competed at the NCAA Championships for the second-straight season while wrapping up the 2010-11 campaign with their 21st-place finish in the 30-team field following three rounds of medal play at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater Okla. After finishing in 24th place in the team

standings at the 2010 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships, the Tigers posted a team score of 41-over par 905 in 54 holes en route to 21st place in the final team standings. LSU’s performance at the NCAA Championships brought an end to the 2010-11 campaign as the Tigers were among six SEC programs to compete at the NCAA Championships. Georgia earned itself a national runner-up finish in the eight-team match play tournament for the team title, while Alabama (14th place), Arkansas (15th place), Florida (23rd place) and Tennessee (24th place) were also part of the 30-team field. Peterson Named First-Team All-American in 2011 After being crowned the 2011 NCAA individual champion, Peterson was one of just 11 players nationwide to be selected as a PING First-Team AllAmerican following the NCAA Championships. With his win, Callaway also presented Peterson with the 2011 Arnold Palmer Award that is given each season to the individual champion of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships. Peterson became the ninth different LSU golfer to earn First-Team AllAmerica honors during his career, which also includes Fred Haas, Jr. (1937), Earl Stewart (1941), Sonny Ellis (1943), Gardner Dickinson (1948), Johnny Pott (1955), B.R. McLendon (1967), Wayne DeFrancesco (1979) and David Toms (1988, 1989). He was also named a Golfweek Second-Team All-American following the 2010-11 campaign. Andrew Loupe Joins Peterson as 2011 All-American Fellow senior Andrew Loupe was also honored as an All-American for his performance during the 2010-11 season after wrapping up his career as the No. 40-ranked golfer in the NCAA on the season according to the final Golfweek individual rankings. Loupe received Honorable Mention All-America honors from both PING and Golfweek for the second year in a row following his first career awards following his junior season in 2010. With Peterson and Loupe each earning All-America accolades in 2010 and 2011, it marked the first time that two Tigers received All-America honors in back-to-back seasons since Greg Lesher and David Toms in 1988 and 1989. Tigers Earn NCAA Qualifying Spot at East Regional With a fourth-place finish at the 2011 NCAA East Regional Championships held at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., the Tigers earned the right to compete at the NCAA Championships for the second-straight season. LSU fired a score of 4-under par 284 in the final round en route to a team score of 16-over 880 in 54 holes to grab one of five automatic qualifying spots into the NCAA Championships. The No. 2-seeded Tigers joined first-place Duke, runner-up Georgia Tech, third-place Oklahoma and fifth-place Kent State in qualifying for the national tourney from the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech.

The Tigers finished in a tie for fourth place in 2009 before securing a fifth place finish in 2010, marking the first time since 1991-93 that they have finished among the top-five teams at the SEC Championships in three consecutive seasons. The Tigers recorded a 54-hole team score of 25-over par 865 to take a fifth-place finish in 2011. Peterson led the way once again as he nearly took home the SEC individual title with a runner-up finish in the final standings. After posting a 1-under 209 in 54 holes of stroke play, Peterson dropped a one-hole playoff to Florida’s Andres Echavarria for the title. Loupe, Peterson Earn First-Team All-SEC Awards Not only were Loupe and Peterson honored as All-Americans for their outstanding performance in 2010-11, but the Tiger tandem won FirstTeam All-SEC honors for the second time in their respective careers after claiming a pair of top-10 finishes on the leaderboard at the 2011 SEC Men’s Golf Championships. While Peterson led the way for the Tigers by earning a runner-up finish in the SEC title chase with his score of 1-under par 209, Loupe followed in a tie for sixth place overall after posting a 54-hole score of 2-over 212 with the event held at the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club.

After winning four tournaments and finishing in 21st place in the 30-team field at NCAAs, the Tigers ended the campaign ranked among the nation’s Top 15 at No. 11 by Golfweek and No. 15 by Golfstat in the final rankings of 2010-11. Gutgsell Claims David Toms Title, Earns National Honors While Peterson may have garnered most of the headlines for the Tigers in 2010-11, it was junior standout Austin Gutgsell who posted the lowest tournament score of the campaign as he fired a career-low 10-under par 206 to take home the individual crown at the David Toms Intercollegiate during the fall season. Gutgsell fired rounds of 3-under 69, 4-under 68 and 3-under 69 en route to his first title of his collegiate career. His winning score of 10-under 206 is tied as the fourth-lowest in relation to par by an LSU Tiger since 1985. Not only that, but Gutgsell was honored as the Golfweek National Player of the Week for his winning performance with the second-annual David Toms Intercollegiate. Gutgsell, Yi Named All-America Scholars by Cleveland Golf The Tigers were not only standouts on the golf course during the 2010-11 season as they were also honored for their outstanding effort in the classroom.

They were among 138 players in NCAA Division I to be named Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Gutgsell was honored for maintaining a 3.45 GPA during his collegiate career. Yi has posted a stellar GPA of his own at 3.40 for his career.

John Peterson: 2011 NCAA Champion

A member of the LSU men’s golf program was crowned individual medalist at the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships for the first time in 70 years as senior All-American John Peterson put an exclamation point onto the end of a heralded career on June 2, 2011, with a national championship after firing a 54-hole score of 5-under par 211 at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla. After firing a competitive course record 7-under 65 in the second round, Peterson finished with an even-par 72 in the final round for a dramatic one-shot victory over UCLA’s Patrick Cantlay. Peterson joined LSU greats Fred Haas, Jr. (1937) and Earl Stewart (1941) as an NCAA champion as he was the team’s top NCAA finisher since Perry Moss tied for fourth place in 1991.

The LSU golf program actually made history with Peterson’s victory as it became the first school during the history of the NCAA Championships to sweep the men’s and women’s individual crowns in the same season. Lady Tiger freshman Austin Ernst took home the NCAA women’s crown nearly two weeks before in the event hosted by Texas A&M at The Traditions Golf Club in College Station. “This is an unbelievable feeling. I can’t really describe it. It hasn’t sunk in for me yet,” Peterson said after his victory. “I’m probably most excited about getting to walk out to the 50-yard line in Tiger Stadium one night next year at a football game. If they let me do that, I want to walk out there in front of 90,000 people with Chuck (Winstead) and Shane (Warren) and these guys who’ve helped me.

“I’m just so proud of this team and how far we’ve come these last four years. I know we would have liked to play better as a team this week, but we’ve had a great season.” After wrapping up his round at approximately 1:30 p.m. CDT with a one-shot lead over Georgia Tech star James White and a two-shot advantage over the contending trio of Cantlay, Harris English of Georgia and Luke Guthrie of Illinois, Peterson endured many anxious moments in the clubhouse while he watched the contenders try to match his number in the afternoon round at Karsten Creek. After White made bogey on the par-three No. 3 to drop to 3-under par for the championship, no one at the top of the leaderboard would pull to within one shot of Peterson again until the final group approached the par-five 18th hole when Cantlay stood over a 16-foot eagle putt trailing Peterson by two at 3-under. Cantlay, the National Player of the Year who birdied the par-four 17th hole to draw to within two shots of Peterson’s lead, fired a 4-iron to within 16 feet of the flag on the 18th green to give himself a left-to-right putt back up the hill for his eagle attempt. The UCLA freshman burned the right side of the cup before holing out with a birdie and ending a single stroke behind Peterson on the leaderboard with a score of 4-under 212 for three rounds. Five golfers finished four shots back in a tie for third place at 1-under 215, while White was five back in a tie for eighth place at even-par 216 and English tied for 10th place at 1-over par 217. There’s no doubt that the championship was won on the back nine, which Peterson played at 13-under par for the tournament after playing the front nine at a combined 8-over par during his three rounds. “We went back to the hotel after the round,” Peterson said. “I just tried to keep my mind off of it as much as I could, but I had to charge up my phone because I was hitting refresh so many times. I probably won’t be able to even go to sleep tonight. I’m feeling so many different things right now.”

John Peterson: 2011 NCAA Champion

Despite teeing off at 8:10 a.m. CDT as part of the very first wave of the day with a one-stroke lead for the first 36 holes, the final round proved to be anything but a smooth ride to the finish for Peterson as his national title hopes appeared dashed after turning with a 4-over 40 on his front nine. As the only championship contender on the course in the morning round, Peterson then found himself in a tie for 10th place as he headed to the back nine with a score of 1-under for the championship. But as he had done throughout his collegiate career, Peterson stormed back to retake the lead thanks to his near perfect back nine in which he carded four birdies with no bogeys for a 4-under par 32. After crawling back to 3-under par with birdies at the par-three 11th hole and par-five 14th hole, Peterson went out in style in his final round as an LSU Tiger with back-to-back birdies at the par-four 17th and par-five 18th holes. On the 17th hole, Peterson fired a 4-iron into the wind from 180 yards to within seven feet of the cup as he finished with a birdie. He then followed by hitting his second shot on the par-five 18th hole over the green with the ball coming to rest in the long rough. But he then took a full-swing flop shot that rolled five feet past the hole for yet another birdie opportunity. Peterson’s putt circled all 360 degrees of the cup before falling for a birdie, eliciting an emotional fist pump from the Tiger senior as he regained the overall lead. All Peterson could do at that point was just sit and wait as the rest of those trailing him on the leaderboard prepared to begin their rounds. It would be another six hours before Peterson learned his fate with Cantlay rolling his eagle putt wide right of the cup on the 54th and final hole of medal play. Peterson was actually on the driving range warming up for a potential playoff with Cantlay when he heard the news that the putt was missed and he had finally won his national

championship. A playoff for the NCAA title would have been a fitting end to Peterson’s senior season after competing in three already that spring. Peterson defeated teen phenom Jordan Speith to take home the Jones Cup before the start of the spring collegiate season in February 2011. He also dropped a pair of playoffs to Florida standout Andres Echavarria for the SEC individual title and teammate Andrew Loupe for a spot in the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic leading up to NCAA postseason play. “I knew he (Patrick Cantlay) was going to make that putt and we would be going to a playoff. That is how this season has been for me this year,” Peterson said. “It’s funny how that seems to happen to me this year in the biggest tournaments. It was a great feeling when he missed his putt.” By winning the 2011 NCAA individual crown, Peterson capped one of the most prolific careers for an LSU Tiger as he became the fifth threetime All-American in program history, joining a list with the likes of Eddie Merrins (1952-54), B.R. McLendon (1965-67), Rob McNamara (1984-87) and David Toms (1986-89). Peterson led the way for the No. 9-ranked and No. 10-seeded Tigers throughout the week as LSU earned a 21st-place finish in the final team standings with a 54-hole team score of 41-over par 905. The Tigers improved upon their 24thplace finish at the NCAA Championships a season ago with their top finish in the tournament since an 18th-finish in 1997. Junior Sang Yi carded his lowest score of the tournament in the final round with a 2-under par 70. Yi posted a total of four birdies to go along with just two bogeys to climb into a tie for 88th place in the final standings with a 54-hole score of 13-over 229. The Tigers also counted scores of 9-over par 81 by senior Ken Looper and 10-over par 82 by junior Austin Gutgsell as part of its team score of 17-over 305 in the final round. Looper wrapped up

Senior All-American Andrew Loupe shot an 18-over 90 in the final round to finish the event in a tie for 141st place overall in the event. Loupe still earned All-America honors as one of the nation’s top players of 2011. “We didn’t drive the ball straight enough this week to be successful as a team on this golf course,” said LSU head coach Chuck Winstead. “But you can’t take away from what this group has done for LSU Golf. I love these guys and wish this week would have gone better for them as a group. They’ve done things for their time here to restore this program to where it should be. I’m proud of each and every one of them.” Peterson also talked about his fellow seniors and the recognition they helped bring back to one of the most storied programs in all of college golf during their four years together. “It makes me extremely glad that I came to LSU,” Peterson said. “When I was coming out of high school, I was a pretty good player, but I wasn’t a great player by any means. We weren’t even that good when we got here four years ago. Andrew and I and the rest of this senior class have really pushed ourselves toward this point. It’s been an unbelievable time for us and we know this program is only going to get better.”

Arkansas, which fired a 4-under 284 in the final round, actually cut LSU’s lead down to a single stroke on the back nine with just three holes to play, but the Tigers held on to take their second title of the 2010 fall season . Not only did LSU capture its second team title of the season with the win, but junior Austin Gutgsell fired a 3-under 69 in the final round to take home his first medalist honor as he fired a career-low 54-hole score of 10-under 206 in three rounds to win the individual title by a comfortable four shots. “We had a great week as a team. Playing at The Country Club of Louisiana in our home event gave us a chance to play 10 guys, which is critical for our program to get 10 guys that kind of experience,” said LSU head coach Chuck Winstead. “Certainly, we made it harder on ourselves today relative to the team title, but to have Austin Gutgsell play the way he did, and have the younger guys play the way they did this week are just some signs of where we are headed.” While playing as an individual, Gutgsell was outstanding in winning the David Toms Intercollegiate as he sandwiched a career-low 4-under 68 in the second round between matching rounds of 3-under 69 during the first and final rounds for a career-low 54-hole tournament score of 10-under par 206. Gutgsell, who opened the event with a previous career best of 1-over 217 in a top-five finish at last year’s John Hayt Invitational, tied the fourth-lowest individual score by an LSU golfer since 1985. A native of Mandeville, La., Gutgsell was locked in a tight battle with teammate Ken Looper in the chase for the individual title as each reached 9-under par for the tournament as teams started to make the turn in the final round. The duo opened the final round in a tie for top spot on the leaderboard. Gutgsell, who teed off from the back nine in the final round, got off to a sluggish start with two bogeys in back-to-back holes on No. 14 and No. 15 to fall to 1-over for his round. But he quickly turned it around in his final 12 holes while carding four birdies during that stretch, including his last of the day at the par-four seventh hole to drop to 10-under par and take the clubhouse lead at approximately 1:10 p.m. “I just made it easy on myself because I hit a lot of fairways and a

lot of greens and I made the putts when I needed to for momentum. I was able to do everything pretty well,” Gutgsell said. “It felt great to post my number and wait for the other guys to come in. I got to go back out and watch my team win the title in the back nine. That was just as great a feeling for me to see us win the team title.” Despite falling out of the running on the back nine with double bogey on the par-four 10th hole and bogey on the par-four 18th hole, Looper holed out in the final group of the day at about 3 p.m. with a round of 1-under 73 for a score of 6-under 210 to finish four shots back in a four-way tie for second place. Looper, who opened with rounds of 2-under 70 and 5-under 67 on the first day, finished on the Top 10 of the leaderboard for the third time in three tournament appearances of the fall. Looper teamed with senior All-American John Peterson to lead the LSU starting five to the team crown as Peterson also finished in a tie for second place overall with a three-round score of 6-under 210, including a 2-under 70 in the final round. Peterson twice finished second on the leaderboard at the David Toms Intercollegiate as a junior in 2009 and as a senior in 2010. Fellow All-American Andrew Loupe picked up his first top-10 finish

of the year as he posted a 2-over par 74 in the final round to finish in a tie for eighth place with a tournament score of 4-under 212. While also competing as part of LSU’s tournament lineup, junior Sang Yi and freshman Smylie Kaufman posted matching rounds of 1-over 73 for the team score in the final round. Yi finished in a tie for 29th with a score of 1-over 217, while Kaufman followed in a tie for 46th with a score of 7-over 223. Freshman Andrew Presley fired a 2-under 70 in the final round to earn his second-consecutive top-20 finish as he tied for 16th place at 2-under par 214. Franco Castro tied for 23rd place at even-par 216, while Clayton Rotz tied for 37th place at 3-over 219 and Landon Lyons tied for 50th place at 10-over 226.

Tigers Take LSU National Invitational Team Title After facing a two-stroke deficit when teeing off in the final round of the 2011 LSU National Invitational, the No. 9-ranked LSU men’s golf team posted the second-lowest team score for the afternoon while defending its home turf at the University Club and capturing its fourth tournament crown of the 2010-11 campaign with a 54-hole score of 22-over par 886. The Tigers posted a 9-over 297 in the championship finale to finish just one stroke ahead of the nation’s No. 46-ranked squad from Chattanooga. The Mocs fired the lowest round of the afternoon with a 4-over 292 to finish runner-up to the Tigers with a team score of 23-over 887 for the weekend. No. 12-ranked Iowa finished in third place at 29-over par 893, while No. 45-ranked Michigan, the second-round leader, placed fourth at 34-over 898 and Minnesota place fifth overall at 38-over 902. In a rare feat, the Tigers actually captured their second team title of the week in defending their crown against a strong 15-team field at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate. LSU claimed four tournament championships for the 2010-11 season as they also picked up two wins in the fall at the Gopher Invitational (Sept. 12-13) and David Toms Intercollegiate (Oct. 18-19). The Tigers won four tournament titles in a season for the first time since the 1985-86 campaign. “The golf course played great this weekend. This is exactly what we expect when playing a championship course,” said LSU head coach Chuck Winstead. “The University Club provided the kind of challenge that we expected throughout the event. We also saw some crowds that we never see anywhere else and I know that our guys enjoyed their first experience competing here at the University Club. “What’s even more rewarding for this program is the positive feedback we received from visiting coaches and players and how much they enjoyed the course. This is a tremendous venue for hosting championship golf at the collegiate level, and we look forward to having that opportunity again in the future.” The Tigers became winners for the 11th time in six seasons with Winstead leading the program. That includes 10 victories in 34 tournament appearances leading up to the 2011 LSU National Invitational for the most for a three-year stretch for the LSU men’s golf program since winning 10 tournaments for the 1983-84 season through the 1985-86 season when Tiger great David Toms was a freshman.

Senior All-American Andrew Loupe fired the lowest score of the day for the Tigers with an even-par score of 72 as he picked up his teamleading fourth top-five finish of the season by with a fifth place. Loupe followed 3-over 75 in the first round and 1-under 71 in the second round with an even-par 72 in the third and final round to finish in fifth place overall with a 54-hole score of 2-over 218. While Loupe led the way with a 72 in the final round, fellow senior All-American John Peterson set the pace throughout the weekend while finishing in a tie for third place on the leaderboard at 1-over 217. After finishing the first day of action at 2-under par for the championship with scores of even-par 72 and 2-under par 70, Peterson carded a 3-over 75 in the final round to secure his second top five and teamleading sixth top-10 finish for his senior season. Peterson actually finished in the Top 10 of the leaderboard for the fourth-straight tournament, as he built momentum for the postseason that culminated with his national championship victory at the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships. Junior Sang Yi just missed earning his first top-10 finish of the campaign by tying for 12th place overall at 9-over 225 for the championship, including a 2-over 74 in the final round. Rounding out LSU’s lineup were senior Ken Looper in a tie for 19th place at 11-over 227 and junior Austin Gutgsell in a tie for 47th place at 22-over 238. “It was difficult out there today. We certainly had to overcome our share of adversity to get the victory for our program,” Winstead said. “I don’t think there are two guys you would rather have on your side coming down the stretch than John Peterson and Andrew Loupe. Those guys are mentally tough with the round, which is something they have developed during their four years in our program.” Five Tigers also competed as individuals at the LSU National Invitational, as senior Clayton Rotz and freshman Andrew Presley led the way with a pair of top-10 finishes on the leaderboard. Presley fired back-to-back rounds of even-par 72 in the first and second rounds and a 5-over 77 in the final round to capture his first career top-10 finish with an eighth-place finish at 5-over 221. Rotz finished in the Top 10 of the leaderboard for the second time on the season with a score of 6-over par 222. Freshman Franco Castro tied for 35th place at 17-over 233, freshman Smylie Kaufman tied for 44th place at 20-over 236 and freshman Landon Lyons finished in 46th place at 21-over 237.

Chattanooga’s Stephan Jaeger led wire-to-wire to earn his first career individual collegiate championship as the only player in the field to break par for 54 holes with a total score of 7-under 209. While the course proved to be a difficult challenge for the rest of the field, Jaeger tamed the University Club with rounds of 2-under 70, 5-under 67 and even par-72 en route to a seven-stroke victory over Vince India of Iowa.
