Leona Maguire's nine-birdie start in Windy City

DUKE UNIVERSITY NEWS RELEASE

With nine birdies in two rounds, Duke University junior Leona Maguire jumped out to a hot start Monday in the 2016 Windy City Collegiate Classic.  Maguire has an eight-under-par 136 tally with 18 holes remaining at the 6,338-yard, Glen View Golf Club in Golf, Illinois. 

A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire opened the day with six birdies over 18 holes and led early in the first round.  She played bogey-free over her first 27 holes, before suffering a lone bogey on hole No. 2, which was her 28^th hole of the day.

She carded rounds of 66 and 70 for the total of 136. 

Maguire only missed one green in the first round, while hitting all 14 fairways and logging 29 putts.  She once again didn’t miss a fairway in the second round, hit 14 greens and rolled in 30 putts.  Over her first 90 holes of golf this season, Maguire has missed only two fairways. 

Georgia’s Bailey Tardy leads the individual action with a nine-under-par 135, but Maguire along with Northwestern’s Hannah Kim are only one shot off the lead at eight-under-par. 

Leona's twin sister Lisa turned in her second-best 36-hole ledger of her Duke career with back-to-back rounds of 74, which was tied for 37^th at four-over-par 148.  In the morning, she parred the first six holes and then had a bogey on the 350-yard, par four 17^th.  Maguire had bogeys on No. 2 and No. 7 to fall back to three-over-par, but closed with her first birdie on the 475-yard, par five eighth hole and a par on No. 9 to finish with a 74. 

In the second nine Monday afternoon, Lisa bogeyed the first hole, but went on to register 11 straight pars.  A double-bogey on hole four dropped her back to three-over-par for the day, but Maguire bounced back with a birdie on the 503-yard, par five sixth.  After pars on the final three holes, she finished with a 74.  Maguire eatured a season-best 30 putts in the first round. 

 

As a team, Duke led the tournament with a three-under-par score early in the first round, but two triple-bogeys and a double-bogey dropped the Blue Devils back to even-par, 288, to conclude the first 18 holes.  A three-over-par, 291, in the second round gave Duke a 36-hole ledger of 579, which was three-over-par and in sixth place. 

 

Georgia leads the field with 12-under-par 564, while Southern California (568), Stanford (573), Northwestern (575), Florida (578), Duke (579), Purdue (581), Iowa State (583), Arizona (583) and Oklahoma State (587) round out the top 10 teams.
