The Blue Devils will feature a lineup that includes graduate student Emma McMyler, senior Phoebe Brinker, senior Anne Chen, junior Rylie Heflin and freshman Katie Li. The trio of Brinker, Chen and Heflin will compete in the Moon Golf Invitational for the second time in their careers as Duke also played in the event in 2022.
Duke closed the fall by shooting 21-under-par at the Landfall Tradition to finish in a tie for first, before being crowned the winner by a tiebreaker. The Blue Devils posted rounds of 284, 286 and 271 over the three days. Duke’s 17-under-par on the final day tied a Blue Devil 18-hole score record on a par-72 course.
