DORADO, Puerto Rico — Coming off a strong finish to the fall portion of the 2022-23 schedule, Duke men’s golf returns to the course this weekend. The Blue Devils travel to Puerto Rico for the Dorado Beach Collegiate, with the 54-hole event running from Feb. 26 through Feb. 28. Hosted by UNC Greensboro (UNCG), the 14-team field includes six teams within the top-100 nationally and two top-25 teams. The event is held at the Sugarcane Course at TPC Dorado Beach, which is setup to play at 7,112 yards with a par of 72 for the event.
