After starting the day three-over-par through the first five holes, freshman Laetitia Beck closed the afternoon three-under-par over her final 13 holes. A product of Caesarea, Israel, Beck notched birdies on No. 6, No. 11, No. 15 and No. 17 during that stellar stretch. Beck had 32 putts, while hitting 11 fairways and 13 greens in round one. She enters the second round tied for tied fourth with an even-par, 72.
Leading the individual action are Eric Popson of Tennessee and Michelle Shin of Wake Forest with a two-under-par, 70. Laura Anderson of Louisville is third with a one-under-par, 71.
Senior Kim Donovan opened with Duke's best start of the day as she was even through 11 holes but suffered bogeys on the 12th, 14th and 17th holes before closing with a birdie on No. 18. On the 410-yard, par four 18th, Donovan drained a 15-foot putt for birdie. She hit 13 fairways, 14 greens and had 34 putts on the day as she finished with a 74, which is tied for 15th.
Coming off the first victory of her sophomore campaign, Lindy Duncan had one of the worst opening nine holes of her career as she was five-over-par. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Duncan collected nine straight pars on the back nine to finish the day at five-over-par, 77. She is tied for 42nd through 18 holes.
