DUCKS IN A ROW

The newly expanded NC Open—thanks to the new lawn at Longleaf—will feature an entry of twenty-five twenty-four. The field will be geographically diverse, including players from across the US and from Canada. And the competition will be tough, as up-and-coming players look to score upsets against a group of nine current and former national titlists.

The top seven seeds all have byes to the round of 16, leaving the remaining eighteen players to scrap it out in the “play-in” round.

Competition begins Thursday, April 6.
