Chris Riley came to play for head coach Dwaine Knight out of Patrick Henry High School in San Diego and became a big building block in what is now one of the nation's top programs. The 1994 and '95 Big West Conference Player of the Year, Riley started his impressive career as the 1993 National Freshman of the Year. He eventually won four collegiate tournaments and his 72.65 career scoring average was a school record at the time. Amazingly consistent, he placed in the top 20 in 45 of his 59 career tournaments (76 percent), finishing in the top five a stunning 21 times. Riley led the Rebels to three conference titles, one NCAA Regional crown and three top-10 NCAA finishes during his career, including a then-best runner-up finish at the 1996 finals in Chattanooga, Tenn., with teammate Chad Campbell. Riley remains the one and only UNLV male student-athlete to be named All-America all four seasons in college. Also a member of the 1995 Walker Cup Team, he earned his degree and then moved to the Buy.com Tour for one year before earning his PGA Tour card where he has been playing ever since. A member of the 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup team, Riley has so far posted 27 top-10 finishes on Tour. He picked up his first PGA win at the 2002 Reno-Tahoe Open and currently ranks 80th all-time in career tour earnings with more than $8 million. He and Campbell join former NCAA individual champion Warren Schutte as UNLV Hall-of-Famers from the golf program.
