Duke Golf 2020 -- Women and Men

The women's spring golf season is off to a flying start. The women, who are the defending NCAA champs, won the NorthropGrumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes Estates, CA. "Regional," my eye! The field featured eight of the top ten teams in women's NCAA golf. The #12 Devils dominated, winning by seven shots over #5 USC and eight over #1 Texas.

Redshirt junior Miranda Wang was T2 at -5. Senior Ana Belac was T5 and -3 and freshman Megan Furtney was T12 at even par.

The women next play March 6-8 at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate in Hilton Head.

The men begin their spring season with a match against Princeton in Fort Lauderdale this Sunday and then a two-day match in Las Vegas March 1-2.

The highlighted portion was somewhat jarring to those of us who have not kept up with Hootie alumni.

Darius Rucker is fairly well known as a golfaholic.

The women are headed to a fourth place finish in the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate at Hilton Head, which includes four of the top seven ranked NCAA teams. Sixth-ranked Wake Forest is running away with the event, leading by 23 strokes.

Special mention is due to Duke freshman Erica Shepherd, who yesterday recorded an unfortunate score of 14 on a par four hole. I don't know the details, but she was only 12 over for the day -- ten over on that one hole. Today Erica rebounded today with an even par score of 71 that was best on the Duke team.

This week the men played in a two-day tournament in Las Vegas, finishing 12th out of 15 teams.
