Description

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features UCLA assistant coach Patrick Murphy. You don't hear many golfers come from Canada to not only play college golf, but coach it as well. Patrick Murphy is one of those guys! He grew up in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada where golf wasn't the biggest sport to play. He grew up playing hockey like any other Canadian, but was playing in high level amateur events in the Southern California area as well as a couple AJGA events. The ability to shoot low rounds in the 60s and having high finishes in those junior events earned him a spot at UCLA where he didn't know too much about until he took his visits there. He repped the UCLA Bruin gear a lot and played in numerous events for the them. After his college career came to an end, he gave the professional route a try. He cashed a couple checks in the beginning, but was always honest with himself and the game of golf. One thing lead to another and he received a call from his coach at UCLA, Derek Freeman, about the coaching job at UCLA and Murphy is currently in his 3rd season with the team. They have a new head coach Armen Kirakossian from ASU and they're looking to get UCLA back to being the epic powerhouse school they know they can be. Enjoy the show!
