Duke Womens Golf NCAA Regionals 2023

[Bluedog]

Wait….. Georgia did well in Athens?? That’s a shocker! 😮

Haha yes...if only it was Athens, Greece instead....

It would be great to make the NCAA Tournament after disappointingly missing out last year, with Gina Kim’s surprising spring semester departure from the team being a key factor.

Let’s go, Duke women!

Duke made the NCAAs last year, just not the Championship round. Duke has made 30 NCAAs in a row.

I stand corrected! Thank you. 😊

And Dan Brooks is in his 39th year of coaching the program.

7 NCAA Championships and 21 ACC Championships.

Brooks, Danowski, Krzyzewski, and others -- Duke has had some exceptional coaches.

Thanks for posting; lots of info to look through.👍

Oh, and get ready for some feedback regarding using the term “Lady Devils”!

[Rogue]

Not a problem, I’m here to learn .

How about, as a more suitable alternative nickname, "Devil Women," hearkening back to the old Marty Robbins song?

Devil Woman. That would require one Duke Women to have her scores multiplied what 5 times?

[AGDukesky]

The women tee off at 9:10am today if I have my time zones correct. Duke certainly isn’t favored but maybe Coach Brooks has some more NCAA magic.

Live scoring for the championship...

[AGDukesky]

Of the 15 players in Duke’s pairing who started on #10, four double bogeyed, three bogeyed, seven parred, and one birdied.

[AGDukesky]

With all the women having completed the first nine holes (10-18), the results are solid. Duke is tied for 3rd and does not trail any teams who started on the back 9. Duke leads its playing partners by 8 (SMU) and 14 (Clemson).

The big caveat is that the top 15 teams have not started yet.

[chrishoke]

Halfway through round one Duke is playing well and sits at -2, good for a tie for 3rd place.

And Clemson was the 'top ranked' team outside the 'top 15' - but they're in dead last right now...SMU and Duke being the second and third teams outside the top 15.

Thanks for the update.

This is always fun to follow via the live stats.

But for a relative newbie am I correct that

1) We want the team to end up in the top 8 so that they make the match play portion of the championship.

2) Prior to that they need to be in the top 15 so they play the final round of stroke play

Is that correct? (I am making these guesses based on Rogue's post about the schedule.)

[Bluedog]

Also note that senior Megan Furtney is currently atop the individual leaderboard (tied) at -3. She just got her degree in psychology along with an environmental science and policy minor this month. She's been a three-time ACC honor roll selection.

I believe you are correct unless the rules changed this year

Looking at the schedule, the 15 highest ranked teams play this PM -- so it's really important for Duke to post a good score in the morning round.

And we are posting some bogeys in the 2nd nine -- rally time!
