Dukies on the 2021 PGA and LPGA Tours
Yep. We're starting a new year -- at least the men on the PGA Tour. The Safeway Open starts Thursday, September 10 at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, CA. I understand that Kevin Streelman is in the field.
2021 is being called a "super season," in that it contains TWO US Opens and TWO Masters Championships. The first US Open is this month, play beginning on Thursday, September 17 at Winged Foot, outside of NYC. The first Masters is November 12-15.
I'll post later on plans and schedules for next year's LPGA tour.
Sanderson Farms Championship
Adam Long, fresh off his 5th place finish at Corales Puntacana in the D.R., is playing this week at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, MS. He tees off at 1:06 CDT. I couldn't find anyone else from Duke.
LPGA ShoRrite Classic in NJ
Tournament taking place October 1-4 at the Seaview Resort near Atlantic City.
Host of Duke players in the field. Celine Boutier is setting the pace for Duke at T-4; Yu Liu is T-16; Mina Harigae and Brittany Lang at T-27; Lindy Duncan at T-44, and Leona Maguire T-53.
There are probably other Duke players who escaped my bleary eyes.
Saturday at Sea Island RSM
Our man Adam Long was sailing through the round -- two under after nine -- until making a triple bogey on #10. He earned it. He had a drop after his tee shot into the woods and then he three-putted from 5'11". He is now T-29.
Streelman is +1 for the day and T-51.
