2/21/2022 8:06:00 PM | Women's Golf
MELBOURNE, Fla. – Behind a career-best seven birdies on Monday, Duke women's golf sophomore Anne Chen fired a career-low round of 5-under-par, 67, to jump up the individual leaderboard at the Moon Golf Invitational, which is being played at the 6,417-yard, par-72 Classic Course at Suntree Country Club.
Chen, who hails from Sugar Land, Texas, started her round by hitting her pitching wedge from 124 yards to nine feet for birdie. She then had one of only two bogeys on the day on No. 2, before playing the next nine holes at 4-under-par. Chen notched birdies on No. 4, No. 6 and No. 9 as she hit irons within five feet and rolled in the putts.
She kicked off the back nine by hitting her 3-wood from 243 yards to 20 feet for eagle. Chen two-putted for birdie to get to 4-under-par for the day. After two pars and a bogey on No. 12, she used her 4-hybrid from 178 yards and put it to three feet for her sixth birdie of the day. Chen added another birdie on No. 18 as she rolled in a 24-foot birdie to finish with her second career round in the 60s. She hit a team-best 15 greens, had 28 putts and hit nine fairways on Monday.
The round of 67 was tied for the third-lowest round of the day. Ingrid Lindblad holds the individual lead with an 11-under, 133.
The Blue Devils featured three golfers shoot 74 or better in the second round as Duke moved up three slots on the team leaderboard with a two-over, 290, on Monday. Duke currently sits in 11th overall with a 36-hole ledger of 594.
Sophomore Phoebe Brinker collected Duke's second-best score in round two as she signed for a 1-over, 73, which is tied for 40th. A native of Wilmington, Del., Brinker birdied the first hole for the second straight day as she chipped in and would move to 1-under in her round by sinking another birdie on the 350-yard, par four 11th hole by sinking an uphill 20-footer. She closed the round with two bogeys and five pars to finish with a 73.
For the second consecutive day, freshman Rylie Heflin turned in a 4-over, 76. She started the day with a par, bogey and birdie over the first three holes. On the par three third hole, Heflin hit her 6-iron from 165 yards to eight feet and sank the birdie putt. She turned in a great par save on No. 8 to remain even for the round. Heflin hit her tee shot behind a tree and was forced to punch out into the fairway. She hit her 9-iron to 20 feet from 130 yards away and made the par putt. Heflin, who hails from Avondale, Pa., played the final 10 holes at 4-over-par to finish with a 76. She hit 11 fairways, 12 greens and had 32 putts on the day.
With eight pars over her first nine holes, junior Erica Shepherd made the turn with a 2-over, 38. She was able to get a shot back on the 513-yard, par five 10th as she rolled in a four-foot birdie. Shepherd, who is from Greenwood, Ind., added a couple of bogeys on No. 13 and No. 15, but closed with two pars and an eight-footer for birdie on No. 17 to finish with a 74. She rolled 32 putts on the day to go along with 13 greens in regulation. Shepherd is tied for 28th through 36 holes with a 147.
Junior Megan Furtney featured one of the best starts in the morning as she parred the first two holes, before draining a 12-footer for birdie on No. 3 and then hitting her 9-iron to two feet on the 355-yard, par four fourth hole for birdie. Unfortunately, she was limited to one birdie the rest of the day and struggled on the way in to finish with an 80. Furtney, who is from St. Charles, Ill, rolled 30 putts and hit 11 greens on Monday.
For the final round on Tuesday, Duke will tee off beginning at 8:50 a.m., along with Louisville and Arkansas.
