ATLANTA, Ga. – The Duke women's golf program is set to kick off the 2020 East Lake Cup, which will take place Oct. 28-30 at the historic East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
It will mark the third time out of the last five years the Blue Devils will compete in the premier collegiate golf event, which will be aired live on Golf Channel featuring over 30 hours of news and tournament coverage.
Seeing action on the women's side along with Duke will be Wake Forest, Auburn and Arizona. Representing the men's side will be Vanderbilt, Texas, Oklahoma State and Wake Forest. The four women's teams each advanced to the final four of the 2019 NCAA Championship, with Duke earning its seventh NCAA title with a 3-2 victory over the Demon Deacons.
The Blue Devils will feature a lineup of senior Ana Belac, junior Miranda Wang, junior Jaravee Boonchant, sophomore Gina Kim and freshman Erica Shepherd. Â
The field will feature several of the world's top-ranked amateurs, including Texas' Cole Hammer (2) and Pierceson Coody (10), Vanderbilt's John Augenstein (5), Oklahoma State's Austin Eckroat (21) and Wake Forest's Eugenio Chacarra (15) and Alex Fitzpatrick (28). On the women's side, the field includes Wake Forest's Emilia Migliaccio (14), Arizona's Vivian Hou (18), Duke's Boonchant (27), Kim (31) and Belac (51).
Several players in this year's East Lake Cup also competed in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur last April, including Belac, Boonchant, Kim and Erica Shepherd from Duke; Wake Forest's Migliaccio, Arizona's Hou and Auburn's Kaleigh Telfer.
The East Lake Cup will be contested over three days, following the format from the final three days of the NCAA men's and women's golf national championships. On Monday, Oct. 28, the eight teams will compete in individual stroke play competition to determine the individual champion and to seed for two days of match-play competition. Tuesday-Wednesday, Oct. 29-30, two match-play tournaments will be hosted simultaneously for the men's and women's divisions, with the semifinals taking place on Tuesday and the finals and consolation matches on Wednesday.
The Blue Devils will open play Monday, Oct. 28 at 10:55 a.m.
Duke last competed in the East Lake Cup in 2016 as the Blue Devils earned the No. 3 seed and went on to knock off UCLA (3-2) and Washington (3-1-1) to claim the title. In 2015, Duke defeated Stanford, 4-1, to advance to the championship, before falling to Southern California, 4-1. Â
Golf Channel's on-air team for the East Lake Cup will feature Bob Papa and Curt Byrum serving as play-by-play host and analyst, respectively, from the 18th hole broadcast booth. Steve Burkowski will serve as a hole announcer, with Notah Begay, Billy Ray Brown and Kay Cockerill reporting from the course. Chantel McCabe will conduct interviews, as well as reporting for Golf Central and Morning Drive. GOLF Channel analysts Tripp Isenhour and Paige Mackenzie will join GOLF Channel senior writer Ryan Lavner for Golf Central's wraparound news coverage of the East Lake Cup.
Live tournament coverage of the East Lake Cup will air on Golf Channel from 3-6 p.m. (ET) Monday-Wednesday and will replay in primetime. In addition, Golf Central and Morning Drive will surround live tournament coverage with pre- and post-event news coverage.
Teams for the East Lake Cup will compete on the championship golf course at East Lake Golf Club, home of the TOUR Championship, the season-ending event of the PGA TOUR's FedExCup Playoffs. The East Lake Cup benefits the East Lake Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to helping families build better lives and children reach their highest potential through its holistic approach to community revitalization incorporating mixed-income housing, cradle-to-college education and community wellness.
