- As a team, Duke registered a 10-over, 290, in the first round.
- Bryan Kim led the morning effort, firing an even-par, 70. The sophomore began his day with a bogey on No. 1, but birdied the lone front-nine par-5, No. 8, to make the turn at even-par. He rolled in back-to-back birdies on No. 11 and 12 to reach red figures for the first time but ended at even-par following a closing double-bogey on No. 18.
- Kelly Chinn shot a 2-over, 72, in his morning round. After starting on No. 3 with a bogey, the senior used birdies on No. 4 and 8 to offset a double-bogey on No. 5 to remain at 1-over as he moved to the back-nine. Chinn rolled in nine pars on the second half of the course before a final dropped shot on No. 2 closed out his 2-over round.
- Ethan Evans signed for a 3-over, 73, in the first round. Evans rolled in four total birdies, including a stretch of three consecutive on holes No. 11-13, but dropped shots on six holes across his round to finish at 3-over.
- Daniel Choi and Luke Sample rounded out the lineup at 5-over and 6-over, respectively.
- Four individuals also competed for Duke, with John Peters leading the way in the first round with a 3-over, 73. John Hiller and Sam Mukherjee each posted a 5-over, 75, while Oliver Mukherjee signed for a 10-over, 80.
