DURHAM, N.C.-- Former Duke women's golf standouts continue to shine on the professional circut in 2022. Listed below is a rundown on how the Blue Devils have fared on the LPGA, Ladies European Tour, Epson Tour and WAPT.
LPGA
Celine Boutier
Duke (2012-16)
ACC Rookie of the Year (2012-13)
National Player of the Year (2013-14)
All-America (2014-15)
Boutier came out of the gates strong to begin the 2022 LPGA season, taking a third-place finish at the Honda LPGA Thailand event with a 25-under-par ledger of 263 after four rounds. Boutier registered scores of 65 and 64 in her first two rounds before adding a pair of 67s to close out. She followed that up by tying for fourth-place at The Chevron Championship in April where she finished 10-under-par with a 278. That included a clutch five-under par in the fourth round. The result at The Chevron Championship was her third such result this season in what was a stellar start to the year, as Boutier also tied for fourth at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, finishing both of those strong at 10-under-par and 11-under-par respectively with scores of 278 and 277. She currently ranks fourth in the LPGA on the official money list this season with $599,903 earnings and leads the LPGA in total events and rounds played, with 10 and 39, respectively. She's also seventh in rounds under par so far with 28 and second in birdies with 166, and has scored better than 3-under par in seven of her 10 events so far in 2022.
