DURHAM – On Tuesday, the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced its watch list for the 2020-21 Division I Jackie Steinmann WGCA National Coach of the Year Presented by Golf Pride, which includes Duke head coach Dan Brooks.
Brooks, who is in his 37th season with the Blue Devils, is one of 20 on the watch list as Duke heads to Scottsdale, Ariz., for the NCAA Championship.
Other candidates include -- Kalen Anderson (South Carolina), Amy Bond (Florida State), Golda Borst (Kentucky), Diana Cantu (Maryland), Jan Dowling (Michigan), Jay Goble (Baylor), Kory Henkes (Mississippi), Lindsay Kuhle (Denver), Missy Farr-Kaye (Arizona State), Kim Lewellen (Wake Forest), Melissa Luellen (Auburn), Derek Radley (Oregon), Carol Robertson (Virginia Tech), Greg Robertson (Oklahoma State), Garrett Runion (LSU), Justin Silverstein (Southern California), Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll (Michigan State), Lisa Strom (Kent State) and Anne Walker (Stanford).
Brooks has led the Blue Devils to a No. 2 overall ranking and three victories on the year – Gamecock Intercollegiate, Cavalier Match Play and at the ACC Championship. He led Duke to his 21st ACC Championship in April as the Blue Devils secured the No. 1 seed in stroke play and then defeated Florida State and Virginia in match play. Brooks guided Duke to a No. 1 overall seed in the Columbus Regional where the Blue Devils placed tied for second. It marked the 14th time out of the last 21 years the Blue Devils were selected as a No. 1 seed in regional play.
