Celine leads Duke University to double whammy 

NEWS RELEASE FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – The Duke University golf team along with senior Celine Boutier, a former World No 1 female amateur,  completed wire-to-wire victories Tuesday at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic at Baton Rouge, Louisiana d at the 6,237-yard, par 72 University Club.
Boutier, who hails from  the Paris suburb of Montrouge, claimed her fourth collegiate victory and the first since April 19, 2014 at the ACC Championship, which was during her sophomore campaign when she was named National Player of the Year.
“I'm proud of the way we handled the conditions,” said Duke head coach Dan Brooks.  “The wind made a few holes extremely difficult to play.  Celine's golf was spectacular. Two rounds in the 60s on this course, in the wind.  Wow.”
With a 54-hole ledger of eight-under-par, Boutier carded rounds of 67, 72 and 69 over the three days of action.  During the final round, Boutier fired birdies on No. 1 and No. 9 and made the turn at one-under, 35.  She added three birdies on the final nine on No. 10, No. 13 and No. 14 along with a bogey on the 11th to close the day with a three-under, 69. 
Boutier hit a team-high of 16 greens in regulation , 12 fairways and featured 31 putts Tuesday.
Boutier’s three-day score of 208 was the lowest 54-hole output since the University Club was renovated.
The Duke  trio of Sandy Choi, Leona Maguire and Gurbani Singh each finished the tournament with a 54-hole total of 228, which was tied 14th.
After finishing in the top 10 in 14 of her first 15 collegiate tournaments, sophomore Leona Maguire,  currently ranked World No 1 female amateur, placed out of the top 10 in her second straight event with rounds of 75, 76 and 77 for a 228.  A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire was limited to only one birdie, the 448-yard, par five 14th, on the day.  She hit 12 greens, 12 fairways and turned in 34 putts.
With rounds of 293, 296 and 292, the Blue Devils finished with a 17-over-par, 881, to win by 16 strokes over Arkansas (897).  Tulane (910), Wake Forest (912), NC State (920), LSU (920), Houston (923), Tennessee (924), Mississippi State (929) and Kentucky (933) closed out the top 10 teams.
Duke totalled its third overall win this season and the first of the spring campaign.  It also marks the third time a Blue Devil squad has won the LSU Tiger Golf Classic as Duke also won team honours in 1999 and 2007. 
Coach Brooks chalked up  his 125th career victory, which continues to lead all coaches in NCAA Division I history.
Duke will next compete in the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic April 1-3 in Athens, Georgia, in what will be a combination of stroke play and match play.  Maguire will miss the action as she received an invitation to play in the ANA Inspiration in Rancho Mirage, California, from March 31 through April 3.
