McLean enjoyed a stellar second season after winning the NCAA individual championship as a freshman. The native of Wahgunyah, Victoria, Australia won two individual titles, at the Wolverine Invitational and NCAA Central Regional, while finishing in the top 10 in all but two events during the 1998-99 season. He led the Golden Gophers in stroke average (70.892), and finished the season by carding 17 of his final 25 rounds under par. On the season, McLean fired 22 of his 37 rounds under par, and was a cumulative 22-under par in his last eight tournaments.
McLean has been named to the all-Big Ten team in each of his first two collegiate seasons, and was honored as Big Ten Conference and National Freshman of the Year after the 1997- 98 campaign.
Senior captain Adam Dooley and junior Martin LeMesurier were named to the GCAA honorable mention list. Dooley, a native of Albany, Minn., finished in a tie for 12th individually at the 1999 NCAA Championships to lead the Golden Gopher contingent. The two-time member of the all-Big Ten team posted scores at or under par in 11 of his last 21 rounds this season. LeMesurier, the 1996-97 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, was also named to the 1999 All-Big Ten squad.
