AA former Cal golf standout, Walter Chun is in his eighth season on the Golden Bears' coaching staff in 2011-12 and his third as associate head coach, with the Bears making the NCAA Championship in each of those campaigns after a five-year absence and adding the first NCAA Regional and Pac-12 wins in school history during the 2011-12 campaign. Chun was promoted to his current role in September of 2009 after five seasons as an assistant coach. He was also as an administrative assistant when Cal won the NCAA title in 2004.

Chun has been recognized nationally for his coaching exploits. He was honored with the Jan Strickland Award as the nation's top assistant coach for his work during the 2007-08 season. In June of 2009, he served as a Team USA assistant coach for the Palmer Cup pitting the top eight American collegiate golfers against their European counterparts for an event that is considered the collegiate version of the Ryder Cup.

Chun has been associated with the Cal golf program since 1997 when he began his playing career for the Bears. He was a two-time team captain while competing three times in the NCAA Western Regional (2000-02) and once at the 2000 NCAA Championship. Chun has also qualified for two U.S. Amateur Championships, the first in 1999 at Pebble Beach and the second in 2002 at Oakland Hills Country Club.

Chun received his bachelor's degree from the Haas School of Business at Cal in 2001, and his master's from Cal's Graduate School of Education in 2003. Chun was a three-time Pac-10 All-Academic selection (2000, '01, '02) and a two-time All-America Scholar (2001, '02).

He and his wife, Grace, live in Emeryville
