For Lindy Duncan, it started with a tie for eighth place at the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship last weekend, shooting an even-par 288 over four rounds.
Two days later, the sophomore was honored as an NGCA First Team All-American for the second straight year. Meanwhile, Duncan was busy qualifying for the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open. Her two-round total of 142 gave her one of the seven automatic berths into next month’s Open.
The week was a fitting way for Duncan to cap one of the 10 best seasons in school history by stroke average, a statistic that also led the ACC. She had five top-five finishes during the season and nine top-10s, highlighted by a victory at the LSU Golf Classic.
She has now been named both the ACC Player of the Year and an NGCA First Team All-American in both of her collegiate seasons, becoming just the sixth Blue Devil to be a First Team All-American in each of her first two seasons.
