1982 BYU Hall of Fame

A "changing of the guard" was how one sportswriter put it the year Ray enrolled at Brigham Young University and All-America Johnny Miller departed. The Californian brought to Provo a long string of amateur titles and lived up to his billing winning more titles than any golfer in BYU history.

During his days at BYU, Ray was name All-America four years in a row, including a First Team spot his junior year. He finished second in the 1969 NCAA Championships where as a freshman he led the field half way through the 72-hole tournament. He followed that with a third place finish the next year.

Always a competitor, Ray clinched 17 tournament wins while playing for the Cougars. His titles included, among others, the British University Championship (1969), William H. Tucker (1969, 1970, 1971), Beehive (1970), and BYU's own Cougar Classic where he posted a course record 64, formerly held by Johnny Miller. Along with his national titles, Ray was four-time All-WAC.

After completing his four years at BYU, Ray made several attempts to qualify for a PGA Tour golf card before finally earning it in 1975. During that time, he worked as an assistant to BYU Golf Coach Karl Tucker and earned a bachelor's degree in 1975.
