DURHAM, N.C.— On this date in Duke women's golf history, the Blue Devils have won three team titles, including two at the Bryan National Collegiate. Three Duke golfers have also won individual crowns as well under head coach Dan Brooks.
Bryan National Collegiate
April 8, 2012
For the third time in 2011-12, Duke's Lindy Duncan claimed medalist honors in a tournament as the top-ranked golfer in the nation carded three under-par rounds to finish with a 54-hole total of 212 to win the 2012 Bryan National Collegiate at the 6,323-yard, Par 72 Players Course at the Bryan Park Golf and Enrichment Center in Greensboro, N.C.
As a team, Duke made a great comeback as the Blue Devils entered the final round in sixth place and nine strokes out of the lead. The Blue Devils carded a team-best one-over-par, 289, in the final round and finished in a tied for first place tie along with Tennessee with a 54-hole total of 882. In the playoff, Tennessee made four pars, while Duke registered three pars and a double-bogey to give the Lady Vols the team victory.
Bryan National Collegiate
April 8, 2001
The top-ranked Duke women's golf team set five new tournament records and saw its top four players all shoot under par as the Blue Devils claimed the 2001 Bryan National Collegiate championship with a new-tournament record 856 final score in Brown Summit, N.C.
Duke, which held a 10-stroke lead over tournament co-host No. 21 Wake Forest entering the final round, carded a blistering nine-under 279 in the third round, breaking the tournament record of 287. The Blue Devils' 23-stroke winning margin over Wake Forest (runner-up at 879) was also the largest in the four-year history of the Bryan National; with the previous widest being 13 by Washington in 1999.
Duke's 856 winning score broke its own tournament record of 894, set in 1998 when the Blue Devils won the inaugural tournament. They also claimed the top two spots on the leaderboard, as Candy Hannemann set a new-tournament record with a 209 54-hole score after shooting 68 in the final round today, while Virada Nirapathpongporn, tied with Hannemann after two rounds, took runner-up honors with a 212.
Other Duke players carding sub-par rounds on Sunday were freshman Leigh Anne Hardin (69) and sophomore Kristina Engstrom (71). Hardin finished in tied for seventh place, while Engstrom posted a tied for 17th finish. Hardin's three-under-par round of 69 was a career best at Duke.
Senior Kalen Anderson finished the weekend in tied for 12th place after posting a 73 on the final day. Sophomore Maria Garcia-Estrada fired a 70 on Sunday as an individual but had to withdrawal on Saturday so she didn't finish in the final standings.
Lady Paladin Golf Tournament
April 8, 1990
Kelly Tilghman carded rounds of 76 and 74 over the final two days on her way to claiming the individual title at the Lady Paladin Tournament in 1990. Tilghman turned in a 54-hole ledger of 231 to win the tournament. As a team, Duke won the tournament with rounds of 321, 306 and 315 with a three-day score of 942.
