Congrats to the Duke Women's Golf Team!

I have to take a moment to give the gals at Duke a shout-out for their win over Wake Forest at the NCAA Women's Championship.



The finals were particularly cool for me because both teams are from North Carolina. I live about ten minutes outside Winston-Salem, where Wake is, and Duke is a bit less than two hours east of me in Durham, near Raleigh. I was going to be happy regardless of which team won, which doesn't happen to me very often!

And if you missed it, it turned out to be a very close competition. Duke won 3-2, but only one of the matches could be called a blowout. One match finished 1-up and three others went extra holes -- including the match that decided the winner.

Although I know the Wake team is disappointed, they have come so far in the last year or so that I'm still very happy for them. They had a lot of success this season and have a lot to build on next year.

But you'll be hearing the parties at Duke for a while, I guarantee. Enjoy them, girls -- you earned it!

Now on to the Men's Championship!
