Men Matthew Giles, USC (pictured).
Even on a team with Jamie Lovemark, Giles was the Trojans’ best player
last season. The All-American’s 71.35 stroke average during 2008-09 was
the sixth best in the country.Gregor Main, UCLA. One of the Bruins’ most talented players, Philip Francis, transferred to Arizona State, leaving Main, a sophomore, to become an even more integral part of the team following a strong debut campaign. Daniel Miernicki, Oregon. Miernicki, whose father Paul is director of instruction at Arrowood Golf Course in Oceanside, had one of the best seasons in Ducks history as a freshman. Austin Graham, UC-Davis. The San Clemente resident will look to continue the momentum generated over the summer, during which he won the SCGA Amateur title and Long Beach City Championship. Sihwan Kim, Stanford. Though Kim endured a sophomore slump in 2008-09, he still has loads of game. The Fullerton resident should help the Cardinal challenge for the national title. Women  Stephanie
Kono, UCLA (pictured). Besides Jennifer Song, there was arguably no better
freshman in the country than Kono, who garnered first team All-America
honors and helped the Bruins almost win the national title.Jennifer Song, USC. The sky’s the limit for the Trojans sophomore, who this summer joined Pearl Sinn-Bonanni as only the second player to win both the U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Women’s Public Links. Lizette Salas, USC. An Azusa native, Salas has been a steady superstar for the Trojans. In 2008-09, the Pac-10 Player of the Year didn’t finish outside the top 10 in any regular-season event. Glory Yang, UCLA. Yang may have been overshadowed by former teammates Tiffany Joh and Maria Jose Uribe, but the junior now becomes a leader for the national title contender. Jennifer Johnson, Arizona State. La Quinta’s Johnson comes to the Sun Devils with an impressive junior portfolio and a runner-up finish at the Women’s Amateur this summer. The freshman will contribute immediately. |

You forgot to mention Nick Taylor, the dynamo University of Washington senior. Among his achievements are winning the Canadian Amateur and the Canadian Junior. He made the cut and was the low amateur at the 2009 US Open. And that is just what I can think of off-hand.

You forgot to mention Sydnee Michaels, also of UCLA Even tho she had an up and down year last year due to swing changes, she had a great summer of good finishes. She's back on top this year I see, golfweek ranked #2. I think she is definately a women's golfer to watch!
