GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Duke women's golf duo of graduate student
Emma McMyler and freshman
Katie Li have been tabbed two of 15 All-ACC selections for the 2023-24 campaign, which was announced Thursday by the league office.Â
Â
McMyler, who is ranked No. 50 nationally, earned All-ACC accolades as a graduate student with the Blue Devils this season. She led Duke with a 71.67 stroke average to go along with two top-10 and four top-20 finishes. A native of San Antonio, Texas, McMyler owns a team-high 15 rounds of even or under par and has counted all 24 rounds in 2023-24.Â
Â
In the fall, McMyler posted a top-five finish at the Windy City Collegiate with scores of 72, 69 and 67 for a 7-under, 208. She also added a tied for ninth placement at the Florida State Match Up with rounds of 72, 68 and 72 for a 4-over, 212. McMyler is coming off turning in a tied for 17th finish at the ACC Championship. Over her four years at Duke and Xavier, McMyler was a four-time All-Conference honoree and three-time BIG EAST Golfer of the Year.Â
Â
A native of Basking Ridge, N.J., Li is ranked No. 72 nationally and the second-highest ranked freshman in the ACC. She has posted two top-20 finishes along with collecting a victory at the Florida State Match Up. Li is the only freshman in the ACC to win a tournament and one of only six freshmen in the top-72 of the national rankings to win an event. Her stroke average of 72.67 ranks as the seventh-best single-season stroke average for a rookie at Duke and she also ranks tied for ninth on the Blue Devil freshman record charts with 13 rounds of even or under par.Â
Â
Li turned in one of the most impressive performances by a Duke rookie at the Florida State Match Up as she carded rounds of 66, 66 and 72 for a 12-under, 204, to win the event. Her 12-under score of 132 over the first 36 holes was a school record, while becoming the first Duke freshman to post back-to-back rounds of 66. Her 204 was tied for the third-lowest 54-hole score in Duke history on a par-72 course and is one of just 16 Blue Devil rookies to win a tournament.Â
