The University of California, Los Angeles men’s golf team won the 2008 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships, capturing their first NCAA title since 1988 by the slimmest of margins, firing a 306 in the final round to win by one stroke over Stanford.  Kevin Chappell of UCLA sunk the championship-clinching putt on the 18th hole, while sewing up the individual title.  The first-team All-American senior finished the tournament two under par and garnered the Jack Nicklaus Collegiate Player of the Year Award, as well as the Arnold Palmer Award.  The tournament was held on the Kampen Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in West Lafayette, Indiana, and was hosted by Purdue University.
