Fourth-Seeded Duke Opens Action at Regional on Monday

FRANKLIN, Tenn. – The Duke women's golf team got its first look at the Vanderbilt Legends Club on Sunday as the Blue Devils walked the course for a practice round this morning. The fourth-seeded Blue Devils will open action in the NCAA Franklin Regional on Monday beginning at 9 a.m. (ET).
"The course is in great shape," said Duke head coach Dan Brooks. "The greens are slick and firm. They have done a great job here. It has been a little while since we have been here. The course has matured, some of the trees have grown up. It is maybe even a little more challenging."
The regional will be held May 9-11 and will feature 54 holes of action. The top four teams following Wednesday's final round will advance to the NCAA Championship. Â
"We did a great job today," said Brooks. "We spent a lot of time hitting long putts. I think that is going to be important in this tournament, because the greens are firm enough where your approaches are going to run a little."
Duke is competing in its 29th straight NCAA Regional and has finished in the top four of regional play in 23 out of the last 25 seasons. Â
The Blue Devils feature a young group in 2022 with two juniors – Megan Furtney and Erica Shepherd; two sophomores – Phoebe Brinker and Anne Chen; and one freshman – Rylie Heflin. Â
Duke will tee off on Monday morning along with Oregon State and Vanderbilt at 9 a.m. (ET) off hole No. 10. Â
"I thought they did a good job through finals week to stay ready," said Brooks. "It has been an academic time, but we have done everything we can. I saw a lot of great shots out there today. I think we are ready to go."
