Main Story

Duke captured the team and individual titles at the Landfall Tradition, powered by sophomore Rianne Malixi’s nine-stroke victory. The Blue Devils led wire to wire, closing the fall season with consecutive tournament wins for the first time since 2018.

By the Numbers
  • Malixi finished at 12-under 204, including a tournament-record 8-under 64, to earn her second collegiate win.
  • Duke won by 8 strokes with a 5-over 869; it was the program’s sixth Landfall Tradition title.
  • Katie Li tied for fifth at 1-over 217, and Duke made 47 birdies.
Yes, But

Duke’s winning margin came in challenging conditions, with strong winds and fast, firm greens. Malixi also had a penalty and a two-shot setback on No. 16 in the final round, but finished with a chip-in birdie.

What's Next

Duke will resume competition at the Sea Best Intercollegiate in Jacksonville, Florida, Jan. 25-26.

Bottom Line

Duke heads into the offseason with two straight wins and a standout individual champion in Malixi—an emphatic finish to its fall campaign.
