DURHAM – Duke women’s golf head coach Dan Brooks announced Tuesday the addition of Emma McMyler for the 2023-24 campaign.
McMyler is coming off an impressive three-year stint with the Xavier women’s golf program. She earned BIG EAST Golfer of the Year accolades for a conference-record three straight seasons, while registering six wins, 19 career top-10 finishes and 24 top-20 placements. McMyler also helped lead Xavier to three straight BIG EAST Championships.
“We’re very excited that Emma will be joining our team,” said Brooks. “Fuqua and Duke Athletics are fortunate to be gaining a person of wonderful character and great skill. Emma has already excelled as a college player and student. We’re honored that she has chosen Duke.”
A native of San Antonio, Texas, McMyler registered a school-record 71.90 stroke average with four wins, nine top-10 finishes and five rounds in the 60s in 2022-23. She collected wins at the Jennifer Duke Invitational, Charlotte Invitational, Rio Verde Invitational and the Chattanooga Classic. McMyler placed tied for fourth at the BIG EAST Championship and tied for ninth at the NCAA Westfield Regional to close her career.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to compete as a Duke Blue Devil,” said McMyler. “I am excited to continue to learn and grow as a student-athlete as I finish out my last year of college golf.”
McMyler posted top-10 finishes in each of her final eight tournaments with Xavier and in the final GolfStat rankings was No. 38 nationally. In three appearances in a NCAA Regional, McMyler posted top-10 finishes in all three events. McMyler was the 2021 BIG EAST Individual Champion and is a two-time Women’s Golf Coaches Association Scholar All-American.
Earlier this month, McMyler received a degree in mathematics from Xavier and will be attending the Fuqua School of Business at Duke beginning in July.
