BATON ROUGE, LA – On a picture perfect Monday in the Bayou State, Duke landed itself in the upper third of the leaderboard after carding a three-over-par 291.
The Blue Devils managed to shake off early setbacks that forced them to the bottom of the field, recovering nicely in the second half of the day thanks to some great looks on the difficult greens of the University Club (par 72, 7372 yards).
Finishing out the day on top was host Louisiana State University who shot an impressive 276 (-12), six strokes ahead of Virginia (282) and 11 strokes ahead of Oregon (287).
