BATON ROUGE, La. - Duke sophomore Lindy Duncan carded a one-under-par, 71, as she netted her second collegiate and first tournament victory of the 2010-11 campaign on Sunday at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic, which was being played at the 6,186-yard, par 72 University Club in Baton Rouge, La.

Duncan, who is a product of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., finished her 54-holes of action with a two-over-par, 218, which was tied with Louisville's AnnaKarin Ljungstrom. The duo went on to a sudden-victory playoff with both golfers registering pars on the first two holes. On the 372-yard, par four 18th hole, Duncan notched her third straight par and Ljungstrom suffered a bogey to give the Blue Devil the victory.

To start off the day, Duncan opened her action with a shotgun start on No. 3 and carded eight straight pars before suffering a bogey on the 12th hole. She came back to post back-to-back birdies on the 14th and 15th holes to move to one-under-par. Duncan went to two-under-par with three holes left as she notched a birdie on the No. 1, but closed with a par, bogey and par to finish with a 71. She hit 13 putts, 13 greens and 11 fairways on the day.

Out of 18 rounds this season, Duncan now owns a team-best 11 rounds of even or under par.

"I am really proud of Lindy Duncan," said Duke Head Coach Dan Brooks. "This is a course that really requires you to be very, very patient so I am real proud she could do that and win the tournament."

As a team, Duke turned in a tied for third place finish as Arkansas shot an impressive one-under-par, 287, to close the weekend with an 888 winning the classic. Virginia (895), Alabama (900), Tennessee (900), Duke (900), LSU (902), Wake Forest (909), Texas A&M (910), N.C. State (911) and Louisville (914) rounded out the top 10. The Blue Devils carded rounds of 300, 302 and 298 on the weekend.

"Well it is not where we wanted to end up," commented Brooks on the third place finish. "We were leading each of the three days at some point. It is hard to come back with anything but a win. We kept up the fight -- we were about sixth place for a while and we ended up tied for third. We had a little flurry at the end, that was good."

After carded rounds of 73 the first two days, sophomore Stacey Kim struggled on the final day with an 82 as she finished tied for 31st with a 228. Kim, who is out of Columbus, Ga., turned in her best finish of the season.

Freshman Laetitia Beck closed her weekend with a solid round of two-over-par, 74, after posting two consecutive rounds of 79. She placed tied for 43rd overall with a 232. After collecting three birdies the first two days, Beck carded three in Sunday's final round. She hit 13 greens, had 30 putts and hit nine fairways on the weekend.

Senior Kim Donovan finished the weekend with a two-over-par, 74, and placed tied for 52nd with a 234. Donovan, a native of Hopkinton, Mass., opened the tournament with a season-worst round of 85, but regrouped to close with rounds of 75 and 74. On Sunday, Donovan started her day on the eighth hole and was three-under-par through eight holes but had a stretch of five holes where she suffered three bogeys and a double-bogey on her way to finishing with a 74. She hit 12 greens and 11 fairways to go along with registering 30 putts in the final round.

With her second straight round of 79, freshman Alejandra Cangrejo placed tied for 52nd with a 234. A product of Bogota, Columbia, Cangrejo posted a team-best 24 putts on the day but struggled hitting greens and fairways as she hit only five fairways and four greens. She played holes 1-9 at one-over-par, but suffered three double-bogeys on the back nine.

As a team, Duke notched 14 birdies in the final round.

The Blue Devils will next play at the Bryan National Collegiate from March 25-27 at the Champions Course at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C.
