Leona Maguire's third place finish and Lisa has 

her second best US total

DUKE UNIVERSITY NEWS RELEASE

GOLF, Illinois – Over the first two tournaments of the 2016-17 campaign, Duke University’s Leona Maguire has combined to shoot 17-under-par, but the junior is still looking for her first win of the college season as she placed third overall at the Windy City Classic Tuesday with an eight-under-par, 208. 

Maguire has been outstanding in the first two tournaments and has just missed collecting her fifth victory of her Duke career.  She shot nine-under-par in the Annika Intercollegiate and was only two shots off the individual lead, while in the Windy City Collegiate Classic she was also two shots off individual medallist Andrea Lee of Stanford (206).

A native of Cavan, Ireland, Leona Maguire (pictured right) featured another strong start to her round Tuesday as she held a two-under-par ledger through 11 holes as she connected on birdies on No. 7 and No. 11.  Maguire posted bogeys on No. 12 and No. 14 to fall back to even par.  She drained her third birdie of the day on the 505-yard, par five 15^th to return to red numbers, but suffered another bogey on No. 17 and par on No. 18 to finish at even par. 

With an aggregate of 221, Leona Maguire's twin sister  Lisa carded her second-best 54-hole output in her US college career over the last two days.  Maguire signed for rounds of 74, 74 and 73 to finish tied 32nd.  It was her best finish since a tied for 27^th placement as a freshman at the Tar Heel Invitational.

Lisa Maguire,  pictured left,  turned in six pars, two bogeys and a birdie on the 375-yard, par four fifth hole on the front nine as she made the turn at one-over, 37.  On the back, she rolled in a birdie on the par four 10^th and then had seven pars along with a bogey on No. 14.  Lisa had a season-best 27 putts, while hitting nine fairways and eight greens.

As a team, Duke finished fifth overall with rounds of 288, 291 and 293 for a 54-hole collection of 872.  Georgia took home the team title with a 10-under-par, 854, with Stanford (858), Southern California (859), Florida (865) and Duke (872) in the top five. 

“There were many positives in this tournament,” commented Duke head coach Dan Brooks.  “Along with Leona's near win, Sandy (Choi) was knocking it close all three rounds. Lisa's hard work on her swing showed positive signs, and she had some great up and downs.  Developmentally, we are right on target.”

 

Duke will next compete in the Tar Heel Invitational Oct. 14-16 at Finley Golf Club in Chapel Hill, N.C.
