During the first two years of the program, the Blue Devils raised over $36,000, after a record-breaking 2018-19 season raising $26,322.75. Â
The men's program is coming off claiming the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate title with a two-under, 862, at the Golf Club of Georgia's Lakeside Course. The Blue Devils featured three golfers in the top 10 with Evan Katz (6th), Adrien Pendaries (T7th) and Steven DiLisio (T9th). Duke collected 52 birdie equivalents in the win.

The men will close the fall at the Cypress Point Classic Oct. 28-29 in Pebble Beach, Calif., while also competing in the Grandover Collegiate Oct. 26. Â
Coming off a tied for third place finish at the Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational, the women's program will close the fall at the East Lake Cup Oct. 28-30 in Atlanta, Ga.
In Chapel Hill, the Blue Devils were led by junior
