Men’s Golfer of the Month

Fr., 5-10, Rocky River, Ohio/St. Ignatius

Duncan capped his first month as a collegiate golfer as the individual champion of the 2015 ECAC Championship. Duncan fired a two-day 142, including a one-under-par 70 in the opening round at The Club at River Oaks to lead the Stags to their first-ever ECAC crown. He carded a one-over-par 72 in the second round to edge out teammate Eric Austin by one shot for the individual title and was one of two Stags named to the All-Tournament Team. In seven total rounds in September, Duncan registered an average round of 74.57 (+2.86), fueled by a team-best greens-in-regulation average of .659 that led to 18 birdies.
