The Duke Blue Devils men’s golf team is headed to an NCAA Regional tournament for the ninth straight year.
On Wednesday, Duke got drawn as the fifth seed in the Baton Rouge Regional, one of six regional competitions in the men’s golf postseason.
LSU will host the region in its home city, but SEC counterpart Auburn, who currently sits atop SCOREBOARD’s Men’s Division I golf rankings, will be the top seed and the presumed favorite for the tournament. Ohio State and Oregon will also compete, as will ACC foes Virginia and Louisville.
The top five teams (along with the top individual from all other teams) will advance to the NCAA Championship at the end of the month in California, and Duke made the cut four times in the past six years.
Duke won one tournament as a team this season, the Rod Myers Invitational at home in Durham back in September, but the Blue Devils finished inside the top six of every team event they competed in.
