LAS VEGAS - Sixteen years after coming to Las Vegas with the stated goal of turning the UNLV men's golf program into a national powerhouse, Dwaine Knight can look back and know he has adhered to the script.

Not only are his Rebels perennial contenders for the NCAA championship, Knight and UNLV made history this week.

When ex-Rebel Adam Scott won last Sunday's PGA tour event, The Players Championship, it apparently marked the first time ever that consecutive events on the tour had been won by two different individuals from the same school.

Chad Campbell, another ex-Rebel, had won the previous week's event, the Bay Hill Invitational.

"Golf Digest just sent me an e-mail about that this morning," Knight said Thursday in his campus office. "They keep what they call the Alumni Tracking Poll and they said they had never heard of players from the same school winning consecutive weeks on tour.

"It's quite an interesting thing and a nice honor."
