BRADENTON, Fla. – The Duke women's golf team continued its stellar play at the 2015 NCAA Championship Sunday even though play was suspended for the third straight afternoon at the 6,468-yard, par 72 Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla.
Duke remained in second place with a 31-over-par ledger and trails Southern California with a 28-over score. Both teams have five or fewer holes to finish Monday, which will kick off at 7:30 a.m. Sunday's play was suspended at 8:21 p.m., due to darkness.
“A very long day, but they seemed to have been fighting right to the end,” said Duke head coach Dan Brooks. “I heard about some fatigue. I spent most of my time with Lisa [Maguire] because we are involved with some things with her swing. I did on the backside get to meet with everybody while they were still out on the golf course and everybody seemed to be absolutely tuned in and playing hard. That is a lot on a golf course like this on a long hot day.”
The top 15 teams following the third round will advance to Monday's final day of action. Rounding out the current top 15 is Arizona (+41, 905), Tennessee (+44, 13-16 holes), Baylor (+46, 910), Purdue (+47, 911), Stanford (+48, 912), Washington (+50, 914), UC Davis (+51, 915), Northwestern (+52, 916), Arkansas (+55, 919), Texas Tech (+56, 920), South Carolina (+59, 13-18 holes), Wake Forest (+60, 13-18 holes) and Alabama (+63, 927).
Freshman Gurbani Singh was Duke's top scorer for the day through 13 holes with a one-under-par ledger. A product of New Delhi, India, Singh registered birdies on No. 1 and No. 3 to open the day with a two-under-par score. She connected on an eight-foot birdie putt on the first hole, after hitting her approach shot from the fairway bunker. Singh had her other birdie on the 511-yard, par five third hole, following her second shot that went into the greenside bunker. She had an excellent sand shot to within a few feet for birdie. Singh added her only bogey on No. 11 and is tied fifth overall with a four-over-par score for the tournament.
Leona Maguire stands at two-over-par for the day through 13 holes and for the tournament are only three shots off the individual lead with a three-over-par. Maguire, who is from Cavan, Ireland, suffered a double-bogey on No. 2, birdie on No. 3 and bogey on No. 4 to kick off the day. She added a birdie on the 322-yard, par four eighth hole and a bogey on No. 11.
Alabama's Emma Talley leads the individual action at even par, 216, with Monica Vaughn of Arizona State (+1), Annie Park (+2) and Maguire (+3) in the top four.
Junior Celine Boutier currently leads Duke with three birdies in the third round and is even par through 15 holes. Boutier, who hails from Montrouge, France, collected birdies on No. 3, No. 6 and No. 12. She will enter Monday's play tied 22nd overall at nine-over-par.
With only three holes left, Sandy Choi is four-over-par for the day. Choi, who is from Seoul, South Korea, played her last eight holes at one-over-par. Freshman Lisa Maguire was nine-over-par through 16 holes. She played her final 12 holes at three-over-par.
Round four of the championship, the final round of stroke play, will begin at 10:50 a.m., Monday. If Duke remains in the top three teams, the Blue Devils will open the third round beginning at 12:10 p.m. The 72-hole individual stroke play champion will be determined. Following the fourth round, the top eight teams then compete in match play for the championship beginning Tuesday, May 26.
The Golf Channel will be airing the fourth round live from 4:00-7:00 p.m., from the course.
