DURHAM – Coming off winning the ACC Individual Championship this past week, Duke women's golf standout
Phoebe Brinker was tabbed the Golfweek Performer of the Week on Tuesday. Â
Brinker's victory at The Reserve Golf Club in Pawley's Island, S.C., marked her first collegiate win.
A native of Wilmington, Del., Brinker became the 15th different Blue Devil in school history to win an ACC Championship, after carding a 54-hole ledger of 10-under-par, 206, over 54 holes. Her winning score matched the Duke ACC Championship record of former teammate
Gina Kim from just a year ago. Brinker was also the only golfer to shoot under par in each of the three days. Â
Brinker collected rounds of 70, 65, and 71, finishing six strokes ahead of teammate
Erica Shepherd. The pair were two of only three golfers on the final day to shoot under par. Brinker's second round of 7-under, 65, matched the ACC record for lowest 18-hole score in championship history. Â
Brinker hit 37-of-42 fairways and 46-of-54 greens during the stroke play portion of the event. Â
Duke finished third in stroke play, before concluding its ACC Championship run on Saturday with a semifinal loss in match play. The Blue Devils will await the NCAA Regional Selection show on Wednesday, April 27 at 5 p.m.
