DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke men's golf team earned its 10th consecutive, and 33rd total, NCAA Regional appearance on Wednesday, April 30, being named the No. 4 seed in the Reno Regional of the 2025 NCAA Championship. Under head coach
Jamie Green, the Blue Devils have advanced to an NCAA regional in 15 of a possible 16 seasons.
Duke is the fourth seed in the Reno Regional field and is joined by the site's top seed Texas, along with Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi State, BYU, San Diego, Santa Clara, California, Grand Canyon, Sam Houston, East Tennessee State, Central Arkansas and Fairfield.
The Reno Regional, hosted by Nevada and the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority, is held at the Montreux Golf and Country Club and is one of six 54-hole regional tournaments held across the country on May 12-14. The course is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Championship course and hosted the PGA TOUR tournament in Reno for 21 years.
Three of the regional sites consist of 13 teams and 10 individuals not on those teams, while the other three regional sites have 14 teams and five individuals not on those teams. Following 54 holes of stroke play, the top-five teams and the low individual on a non-advancing team move on to compete in the NCAA Championship, held on the North Course at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., on May 23-28.
Duke enters NCAA Tournament play after a fifth-place finish at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate to close the regular season and an 11th-place finish at the ACC Championship. The team currently ranks fifth in program history with a team stroke average of 285.58 and highlighted the regular season with a sweep of the prestigious Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate, claiming the team title at 28-under, 836, while
Ethan Evans took home individual medalist honors at 9-under, 207.
The Blue Devils will look to advance out of the NCAA Regional round for the second time in three years, after falling just short at the Baton Rouge Regional last season with a seventh-place finish. Evans finished as the low individual on a non-advancing team in Baton Rouge, tying for second place at 6-under, 210, and shot a 4-over, 220, in the first three rounds of the 2024 NCAA Championship.
Sophomore
Bryan Kim currently leads the Blue Devils in stroke average, at 71.33, which is tied for the seventh-best single-season stroke average in program history. The Brookeville, Md., native has also tallied a team-high 13 under-par rounds so far this season and is joined with double-digit under-par rounds by Evans and senior
Kelly Chinn, who have 12 and 10, respectively.Â
