Trio of Blue Devils Receive Invites to ANWA
1/14/2020 2:21:00 PM | Women's Golf
DURHAM, N.C. – Junior Jaravee Boonchant, sophomore Gina Kim and freshman Erica Shepherd of the Duke women's golf program received invitations to the 2020 Augusta National Women's Amateur set for April 1-4 in Augusta, Ga.
All three Blue Devils will see action in the Augusta National Women's Amateur for the second-straight year. Boonchant, who is from Bangkok, Thailand, finished in a tie for 12th a year ago at the event, while Shepherd, a native of Greenwood, Ind., carded a tie for 23rd finish. A product of Chapel Hill, N.C., Kim missed the cut with rounds of 77 and 73.
An international field of 72 women amateurs will compete over 54 holes of stroke play. A cut will take place after 36 holes, advancing the leading 30 players to the final round at Augusta National Golf Club. In the event of a tie after 54 holes, the winner will be decided by a sudden-death playoff.
The first 36 holes will be contested over two days on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., April 1-2. The entire field will then play Augusta National for an official practice round Friday, April 3. The final round will take place at Augusta National on Saturday, April 4, and will feature the top 30 competitors who made the cut.
In 2019, Duke featured five golfers in the inaugural event as senior Ana Belac and recent graduate Virginia Elena Carta also competed. More invitations are expected to be sent out prior to the tournament opening in April.
Provided she remain an amateur, the 2020 Augusta National Women's Amateur Champion will receive an invitation to the next five Augusta National Women's Amateurs, the 2020 U.S. Women's Open, the 2020 Women's British Open, and any USGA, R&A and PGA of America amateur championships for which she is eligible for one year.
