Duke, Blumenherst win ACC in thriller

GOLFWEEK STAFF

Duke continues to rewrite the record books.

The Blue Devils won their 13th consecutive ACC Championship Sunday with a one-shot victory over Virginia at LPGA International. Junior Amanda Blumenherst won the individual title for her third consecutive ACC Championship, the first player to do so in conference history.

With both teams tied at 7-over par, Blumenherst and Virginia freshman Calle Nielson both missed the 18th green with their approaches. Both players chipped on, but Nielson missed her 5-foot par putt while Blumenherst made her 4-footer to seal the title.

Florida State’s Caroline Westrup led the individual race by a shot after making birdie on the 16th hole, but she three-putted her final two holes.

Blumenherst closed with a 1-under 71, that included a chip-in eagle on the par-5 14th. She got up-and-down for par on three of her final four holes and did not three-putt in the final round.

Selections for regional sites will be announced April 28.

Final scores with relation to par from the ACC Women’s Championship, played April 18-20 at the par-72, 6,367-yard LPGA International (Legends) in Daytona Beach, Fla.:
