Director
In his 15th year at the helm of BYU’s men’s golf program, Bruce Brockbank Jr. continues the tradition of excellence that the Cougar golf program has been known for throughout the years.

A native of Provo, Brockbank joined the BYU golf team in 1983 after a stellar prep and amateur career included a second-place finish in the Utah State Amateur. Following an LDS mission to South Carolina, Brockbank returned to the Cougar squad in 1985 and was named First Team All-WAC twice as well as earning Third Team All-America and Academic All-America honors in 1988, his senior season. In that final year of play for the Cougars, he also won medalist honors at the prestigious Western Collegiate Invitational.

He won the Utah State Amateur title in 1987 between his junior and senior years at BYU and again in 1988 after completing his eligibility. He was named Utah Amateur Golfer of the Year in 1983 and again in 1988. A member of the PGA of America, Brockbank turned pro in 1989 and competed throughout the Utah area in section events.

Before being tabbed as the head coach in April 1992, Brockbank served as an assistant coach for four years under the tutelage of BYU Hall of Fame coach Karl Tucker.

In his short time at the helm of the Cougar squad, he has coached 17 All-Americans, including 2007 First-Team All-American Daniel Summerhays and four-time All-American Andy Miller. He also coached honorable mention All-Americans Manuel Merizalde (2001), Jose Garrido (1999), Billy Harvey (1999), Todd Pence (1995), and Eric Rustand (1994). As a Cougar assistant in 1992, he also helped coach second team All-American and current Masters Champion Mike Weir.
