Phoebe Brinker Wins ACC Individual Championship
Duke’s Phoebe Brinker became the 15th Blue Devil in school history to win an ACC Championship as she carded an impressive 54-hole ledger of 10-under-par, 206, over the past two days at the 6,212-yard, Par-72 The Reserve Golf Club in Pawley’s Island, S.C.
Brinker equaled former Duke standout Gina Kim’s 10-under-par, 206, from a year ago for the Blue Devils’ lowest 54-hole score in ACC action. The win for Brinker was her first collegiate victory and it marked the 16th time a Blue Devil has won the ACC individual crown over the past 23 championships.
A native of Wilmington, Del., Brinker notched rounds of 70, 65 and 71 for a 10-under, 206, finishing six strokes ahead of Duke teammate Erica Shepherd, who turned in rounds of 75, 68 and 69 for a 4-under, 212. Brinker and Shepherd were two of only three golfers on the day to shoot under par.
