Duke women now leading the ACC tournament in Greensboro after the Saturday round. Duke is at -6, four shots ahead of second place Clemson.

Duke's Leona Maguire (#2 in the world rankings) leads the individual championship by two shots at -5. Tournament is on the East Course of Grandover Resort. The three-day tournament ends Monday.

Day two is in the books, and Duke has extended its lead over the field to 17 strokes. Duke's -7 today was seven shots better than any other team. Howsomever, in many years of following team golf, NO LEAD IS SAFE. We'll need a strong performance in the final round tomorrow to take home the ACC championship. If it happens, it will be our 21st.

In the individual competition, Duke holds the top two spots. Leona Maguire continues in first place at -7. Jaravee Boonchant, our freshman from Thailand (via IMG Academy), is in second at -6 and recorded a five-under-par round today. Ana Belac is T9, Virginia Elena Carta is in 11th, and Lisa Maguire, Leona's twin, is T28.

Go Duke!

And the weather reports for tomorrow and Tuesday are not good. Rain tomorrow with 14 mph winds with gusts up to 24 mph. Tuesday is just as bad. Like you said, no lead is safe. GoDuke!

The biggest risk is that the Maguire sisters will feel homesick. I'm pretty sure they're well used to playing in wind and rain.

I believe today is the final round, and it looks like they'll get it in without a weather-related postponement. As a team, Duke is currently -12 and ahead by 23 shots, with every player having completed at least 14 holes by now. Duke has the three lowest-scoring individuals at the moment (Jaravee Boonchant at -6, Leona Maguire at -3, and Ana Belac at -2). That's some domination right there.

Duke wins! The team was 15 under. Florida State came in second at 12 over.

Duke finishers
T1 - Jaravee Boonchant
T1 - Leona Maguire
T3 - Ana Belac
T5 - Virginia Elena Carta

Lisa Maguire was T40 but her first round score of -1 was used over Virginia Elena Carter's +3 first round score. So it was a total team effort.

What is the most ACC team championships won by any school in a single sport ?

A Wikipedia article updated through 2016 (so not 100%) shows the following teams with 21 or more ACC championships:

Maryland men's indoor track--26
Maryland men's outdoor track--26
Maryland men's lacrosse--25 (Md. won a 26th championship last year but was no longer in the ACC)
UNC men's tennis--25
Maryland wrestling--24
UNC women's soccer--21 -- now 22 as UNC won last fall
Maryland men's soccer--21

So Duke women's golf is not at the very top, but they are up there.

This win was a beatdown--Duke golfers finished 1, 2 (decided by a tie-breaker), tied for 3rd, tied for 5th, and tied for 40th.

Could be, but it was Duke's lowest score. Per GoDuke.com: ''The 15-under, 849, was the lowest 54-hole ledger in Blue Devil ACC Championship history besting a five-under, 859, a year ago."

I, of course, worry that these amazingly low scores will cause a problem in the regional championships in two weeks. The NCAA Selection Show is on the Golf Channel tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5:30PM Eastern.

Here are the regions -- (As #4 in Golfweek's rankings, wouldn't we go to Tallahassee?)


The four regional sites include TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California, hosted by Stanford University; the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas, hosted by the University of Texas; the University Ridge Golf Course in Madison, Wisconsin, hosted by the University of Wisconsin; and the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course & Club in Tallahassee, Florida, hosted by Florida State University.

Leona rebounded on day two with a seven under 65, as the Duke team finished at -9, the best score of the day. First-day leader UVa came back to earth with a +3 and now trails Duke by eight shots. Leona is tied for third in the individual competition, and Ana Belac is tied for fifth.

The Duke Ladies have won the Wisconsin Regional and are advancing.

The team carded a -14 to win by 9 strokes over UVA. Leona Maguire finished T2 at -8 under. Our number 2 player, Jaravee Boonchant, did not have a great tournament but we still won comfortably.

Special props to number 5 player Lisa Maguire. For those that don't know how tournaments are scored, the top four scores (out of five players) are taken each day. Lisa managed to have all three rounds count for the team score despite scoring the worst over the 3 day total. She was good enough each day to beat one teammate and really helped the team when we had some surprise scores. In fact, Lisa's first round +1 counted for the team score and we were able to drop Leona's surprising 2 over.

I agree completely with the special props to Lisa. She and Jaravee were the two players who counted all three days. Leona showed her mettle by shooting 10 under the last two days. Virginia Elena Carta shot a great four under the first day and Ana Belac was 2 under 2 days in a row.

Nationals should be very competitive. Duke obviously has a very good team. We have players who can go real low. However there are some other very good teams in the field. Alabama and Arkansas were also top seeded in their regions and won by 8 and 11 shots respectively. UCLA was top seeded overall and finished 2nd to Stanford, who was hosting the Regional and home field is a big advantage in golf. Stanford won by 2, UCLA was 7 ahead of the 3rd place teams. The format in Nationals is 4 rounds of stroke play followed by the top eight teams in match play to determine the champion.

My bet is the norovirus, which is incredibly violent. It usually is picked up from surfaces, not food (doorhandles, counters, etc., where it is long-lived). The idea of "playing through it" is impossible to imagine. I am happy to report that, after one infection, one's body is immune to recurrence.

The women are competing in the NCAA Championship beginning tomorrow at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, OK.

The format is a 72-hole medal play tournament over four days -- Friday through Monday -- to determine the individual champion and the eight teams that compete for the team championship. The team championships are match play over Tuesday and Wednesday, with the quarters and semis both occurring on Tuesday.

(It is possible to go ballistic over the way the NCAA golf championships are competed -- (1) "Match play?" -- all the other tournaments in the season seem to be medal play. (2) 36 holes on Tuesday for the quarters and semis? That is unlike any other college competition. In fact, Duke lost to Baylor in the semis in 2015 when it appeared (to me, at least) that the larger Baylor players held up better in the second 18 on Tuesday.

The Duke women have won six NCAA golf championships, most recently in 2014, and 21 ACC championships. Virginia Elena Carter won the individual championship as a freshman two years ago.

Here are the teams in the field. Note that all the top teams made the field (although this ranking came after the regional results). Duke is ranked fourth, following Alabama, UCLA and Arkansas. The ACC has six teams in the field, including Virginia, Louisville, Florida State, and Wake Forest. Local guys Furman (#8) also made the field, the only team besides Kent State not in a Power Five conference.

Madison Regional Site:
Teams:
1. Duke (4)
2. Virginia
3. Southern California (5)
4. Arizona State

Yep, I thought Duke was at a significant disadvantage in that tournament by carrying clubs while everyone else seemed to have carts. I did not understand at the time, and still do not, why that was. Of course, at 64, I see a huge difference in carrying vs pushing that I did not see 20 years ago, so my perspective is tainted.

Duke finished this morning's round at +10, same as yesterday. The Duke women are currently in a tie for 12th, although only one-half of the teams have played and bogeys are turning up everywhere. Duke is fifth among the higher-ranked teams that played this AM. We should move up several positions by the end of the day.

Eight teams qualify for the match play tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Duke was led by Jaravee Boonchant, who played even par today (+2 for the tournament). Ana Selac was +2 and Leona and Virginia were +4. The Devils hit a rough patch in the second nine with seven bogeys and a double occurring within a short period of time. The women rallied, however, with three birdies on the final hole.

UCLA tore up the course today, finishing at -9 for the day and -3 for the two rounds. The Bruins have a five-shot lead over Alabama, which was also under par (-2).



We have some work today the next two days. -- Go Duke!!

Late to respond to this.

I agree with you that it was likely a norovirus. Everything else you said is wrong except that you can't play through it. It is likely that the majority of cases are contracted through contaminated food (from a food handler coming back to work too soon after illness, usually). There are also multiple serotypes, so you can get infected over and over again. Even serotype-specific immunity is not lifelong. So one infection is not even remotely protective.

So, pretty much there is nothing good about norovirus. Some people are naturally almost completely immune to it, though, which is nice. Degree of susceptibility actually has to do with your blood type. Those who are blood type O are more likely to get infected, and/or more likely to have symptomatic infection. Researchers are hard at work at making a vaccine for it; it's still a long ways off, but if it works, that could be a great, great thing.


I now return you to your regular thread.

Fellow Dukies Celine Boutier, Laetitia Beck and Lindy Duncan tied with Brittany for 25th. The fifth Duke player on tour, Yu Liu, was a victim of the weather. 4 under her first round, 4 over the second and did not make the cut.

It's now being carried on the Golf Channel. Interesting that Duke, Northwestern and USC are playing together today (one player from each team and five threesomes). All are at -1 at the moment, far better than the average scores on this tough course.

One hole, one golfer to play and Jaravee has doubly bogeyed and bogeyed her last 2 holes.

She was able to par the last hole. Duke is finished at 30 over and in 7th place. Baylor and Arizona are tied for 8th with multiple holes to play. Now we wait.

Duke is in 6th and, if I understand the pairings correctly, will tee off in the AM against USC.

A real crash and burn for the ladies at the end of the round. The last four holes we were 11 over par and went from -2 to +5. Fortunately, we held our position fairly well.

In watching the coverage it seems like this course has a few birdie opportunities but mostly holes where you should settle for par.

Not much wind today.

Tomorrow is a long day. If we win the morning match, then we go in the afternoon. 36 holes or so on a tough golf course is a tough day but the opponents have the same.

I think the Duke players can play better than they have done so far.

Last medal play as a Duke player for Leona and Lisa today.

Duke up in two of the matches and down in three of the matches to USC.

Leona is up 1 thru 13 and Virginia is up 1 thru 12.

Boonchant is down 1 thru 11.

Lisa is down 3 thru 10, while Anna is down 3 thru 9.

It look like if Leona and Virginia can hold on, it's going to come down to Boonchant coming back to win her match.

A little over halfway through, USC and Duke are locked in a struggle, 2-2-1. In the two matches they lead, USC is up 3 (after 10 and 9 holes), so those don't look promising. Duke's leads are both up 1 (Leona Maguire and Virginia Carta) after 13 and 12, respectively, so they are much tighter.

The crucial match, should Leona and Virginia hold on, is that of the freshman Boonchant, who is all square after 12 holes.

Leona just held on for a 1-up victory, but we are now down in 3 matches and only up in 1 other. Lots of golf still to play though!

Lisa loses 4&2. Virginia lost her last 2 holes to go from 2 Up to all square. She's now in extra holes. Anna Belac had a huge comeback and is now all square with 2 to go. Boonchant loses so we need to win both of the all square matches to win.

Carta and Belac must win their matches. All even now for both of them. Currently 2-1 USC for completed matches. On Golf Channel.

Virginia on to second extra hole all squared (obviously). Down 1 in other match headed to 18.

Virginia missed a putt she should have had to close it out. Doesn't look good in other match either, but Golf Channel not showing it for some reason. I think Duke's Belac in the long grass.

Belac with some terrible swings.

Duke falls to USC.

Great season, Duke women. ACC champs and NCAA regional champs, as well as making the NCAA quarterfinals.

Just to close this out, Arizona as the #8 seed defeated the top seeded Crimson Tide in dramatic fashion. It came down to the 18th hole of the final match where the Alabama player needed to win the hole to tie the match and send it to extra holes. She missed her eagle putt after sending a long fairway wood to within 20 feet of the hole, but made the birdie to capture the hole.

The same two players went back to the 18th tee, a par 5. Both were on in three and had short birdie putts. The Tide player short armed her short birdie putt while the Arizona player sunk hers. Too bad Duke wasn't still playing but it was still pretty exciting.

The match play format makes for great TV. But it does take it toll.

It seems funny to have almost of the tournaments all year stroke play then switch to match play to determine the NC. Early round losses probably leave a bad taste in the mouths of the losers - this year I would say Duke and UCLA. Lots of pressure on the players in the pivotal matches. Next year they play in Arkansas (I think) then 3 years in Arizona. It will probably be in the 90's or 100's in AZ and the teams in the final 8 who win in the quarters will have to play 36 holes one day.

I love it that its on TV and the format makes it very exciting.

As far as I can tell, schedule for the men's and women's championships is heavily influenced by TV. Monday thru Wednesday are the days when the golf Channel is NOT covering a live professional tournament. Hence, the fourth round and individual champion on Monday and match play crowded into Tuesday and Wednesday, in order to free up the Golf Channel for Thursday PGA action.
