LOS ANGELES – Senior Omar Morales of UCLA Men’s Golf has been selected the Student-Athlete of the Week for competitions held between April 22-28.
The Bruin golfer secured his third career medal, finishing in first place at the 2025 Big Ten Championships over the weekend at Baltimore Country Club. Morales became the first UCLA player to medal at the conference tournament since Daniel Im won the individual title at the 2006 Pac-10 Championship. Morales shot 7-under 203 over the three-day tournament as the Bruins captured their first conference title since 2006 (UCLA defeated Illinois by one stroke). Morales finished with round scores of 66-67-70, defeating the second-place competitor by three strokes (Oregon’s Greyson Leach). Morales helped UCLA capture the conference’s automatic berth to next month’s NCAA Championships.
Morales secures his first-career UCLA student-athlete of the week award.
