Great news! I'll confess I don't happen to follow women's golf closely on a regular basis but I am always delighted to hear truly important news of great success by all Duke teams!Quote:

The Duke Women's Golf team next plays in the Eastern Regional tournament at Penn State from May 10 to 12.
As noted in this piece from goduke.com, the Blue Devils are seeded #3 and must finish in the top 8 teams to advance to the NCAA championships.
The team is ranked #8 nationally, and junior Lindy Duncan is ranked #1.
I do follow the women's golf team and have met the players and staff. Great gals and wonderful representatives for Duke.

I concur. Coach Brooks is a friend of mine and I cannot say enough positive things about him. He has tremendous integrity and character and is just a great guy overall. One of the best collegiate women's golf coaches of all time, too. We are lucky to have him at Duke.Quote:

Duke finished the first day tied for 11th. Need to be in the top 8 ( I think) to advance to the NCAA Championships. It can be done.
Lindy Duncan is 1 over, 6 shots back in the individual competition.

In 4th place midway through the second of three rounds.

Duke now in third with three of our golfers having finished 12 holes and one having finished 15. Lindy Duncan is currently at -2 on the day after 12 and in a three way tie for second place individually. The whole team is doing very well today; hopefully they can finish the round well also.Quote:

Looks like the women finished in a tie for 6th and will advance to the NCAA championships.

As usual, they were led by Lindy Duncan, who finished 3rd in the individual scoring.
Don't know if Cangrejo will be back for the NCAA tournament; playing with 4 is a serious disadvantage.
Duke currently in a three-way tie for sixth, having finished their third and final round. The closest teams still on the court are 12 strokes back.
Well done, ladies!
