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.
Alas, I was pulling for Max Greyserman in Savannah but an ugly seven on the par four thirteenth did him in. He birdied three of the remaining holes to rally and finish T8. He is up to 56 now on the Points List. Top 25 advance to the big show.
I think you got all 6 ex-Duke players. All finished between 6th (Harigae) and 43rd.Quote:

Harigae actually went pro before she played her 1st year at Duke.However Dan Brooks is likely happy for her.
The PGA's LatinoAmerica Tour event this week started today and has three ex-Duke players in the field, Alex Smalley (D'19), Chandler Eaton (D'20), and Motin Yeund (D'17?). Players here hope to move on up to the Korn Ferry Tour and then to the big show. Max Greyserman (D'17) and Wes Roach (D'11) start tomorrow on the Korn Ferry, and Kevin tees it up again on the PGA scene in Las Vegas. And, finally, over in England Julian Suri (D'13) will play. This is Europe's top golf circuit.
Please add to or correct the above.
Thanks, good info. So Smalley, who made a cut on the PGA tour in September, has not been quailed for Korn Ferry?Quote:

Kevin Streelman is back in action this week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas. He tees off #1 at 14:55 Eastern time.

Our typical group of 6 women (above) are playing in their PGA championship starting tomorrow. Scanned the field, but unaware if any other lessor names also made the field.Quote:

Bryson DeChambeau posted a -9 62 for the lead.
Kevin Streelman cards a -4 (67) today and is -6 for the tournament. He appears safely above the projected cut line (-4). Streelman finished today’s round birdie, eagle.
The cut line, now shown on the leaderboard at -4, is likely to be -5. Kevin posted a -4 today and -6 total with a 19'6" birdie putt on the par-three next-to-last hole and a 21'1" eagle putt on the par-five final hole (he finished on #8 and #9).Quote:
