No. 20 Duke Opens Spring at The Hayt Collegiate
3/6/2026 5:20:00 PM | Men's Golf
DURHAM, N.C. – The No. 20 Duke men's golf team opens its spring season this weekend at the 2026 Hayt Collegiate, hosted at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The three-day event runs Saturday through Monday, March 7-9.
Half of the 16-team field is ranked in the latest Bushnell/Golfweek Division I Coaches Poll, including the nation's top two teams. No. 1 Virginia and No. 2 Auburn headline the tournament, which also features No. 5 LSU, No. 11 Texas Tech, No. 15 Alabama, No. 17 North Carolina, No. 20 Duke and No. 22 Charlotte. Liberty, UCF, USF, Clemson, North Florida, South Carolina, Louisville and Coastal Carolina round out the field.
Duke enters the spring after a strong fall campaign in the first season under head coach Bob Heintz. The Blue Devils recorded four top-five finishes in five tournaments, including a victory at the Rod Myers Invitational to open the Heintz era, along with a pair of runner-up results.
The event features three of the nation's top four Division I golfers, according to Scoreboard. Duke junior Bryan Kim is ranked No. 4 nationally, joining Virginia's Ben James (No. 3) and Auburn's Jackson Koivun (No. 2) in the elite field.
Kim leads Duke into the spring following a standout fall performance. The Brookeville, Maryland, native posted a team-best 68.87 scoring average across five tournaments, producing four top-five finishes and two individual victories. Kim recorded under-par rounds in 13 of 15 rounds played, including 10 scores in the 60s, while pacing the Blue Devils with 70 birdies and four eagles. He enters the spring season on the watch lists for both the Ben Hogan Award and the Fred Haskins Award.
The Blue Devils' lineup this week includes Kim, Ethan Evans, William Love, Daniel Choi and Charles Nelson, while John Hiller will compete as an individual.
Duke will look to build on its performance at last season's Hayt Collegiate, where the Blue Devils finished runner-up at 11-under par. Among the returners on this year's squad, Love led the team individually with a 10th-place finish at 3-under.
The Blue Devils tee off Saturday at 9 a.m. to begin the three-day tournament.
