DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's golf junior Andie Smith qualified for the 2025 U.S. Women's Open Monday evening as she fired a 3-under-par, 141, to finish second at the Duke University Golf Club in Durham.
It will mark the first time in her career that Smith has qualified for the U.S. Women's Open.
"It was such a special moment when I found out I had earned a spot to play at this year's U.S. Women's Open, especially at our home course," said Smith. "I couldn't have done it without my amazing support system today and every day. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to play with the best in the world at Erin Hills."
Smith, a product of Hobe Sound, Fla., opened the morning by firing a bogey-free 5-under, 67, with birdies on No. 6, No. 7, No. 10, No. 14 and No. 17. In the afternoon, Smith had a slow start opening with a 3-over score during her first 11 holes, but closed strong with a 1-under ledger over her final seven holes with birdies on No. 7 and No. 9.
Smith received one of two qualifying slots in the U.S. Women's Open from the site along with medalist Carolina Lopez-Chacarra (140).
Fellow Duke teammate Carla De Troia tied for sixth with a 1-over, 145, as she fired a 1-under-par, 71, in the opening round. Anna Cañado Espinal closed strong to finish with a 150 with rounds of 79 and 71, while Rylie Heflin signed for rounds of 80 and 75 to miss the cut.
The 2025 U.S. Women's Open will take place May 28 through June 1 at Erin Hills in Erin, Wisc.
