Performance of the Week: Bath's Addilyn Duflo
October 23, 2026
Addilyn Duflo ♦ Bath
Sophomore ♦ Golf
After finishing runner-up as a freshman last fall, Duflo concluded her sophomore season as the medalist at last weekend’s Lower Peninsula Division 4 Final at The Meadows at Grand Valley State – and in doing so led Bath to its first Finals team championship in the sport.
Duflo – who also plays basketball – carded a two-day 152, taking a nine-stroke lead during Friday’s first round with a 73. She followed with a 79 on Saturday and was the only competitor to break 80 during the tournament. Bath, in only its sixth season as a program, cleared the field by 14 strokes to win the team trophy.
