NEWS RELEASE FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY
By Jack Winters
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana. – Led by under par rounds from junior Sandy Choi and sophomore Leona Maguire, the top-seeded and fourth-ranked Duke women’s golf team turned in a one-under-par, 287, Friday on its way to moving up three slots to fourth overall with 18 holes remaining at the NCAA Regionals at the 6,285yd, par-72 University Club course.
South Carolina have taken a commanding lead with an 11-under-par 277, and now sits nine-under-par (567) through two days of play. Washington (575), Florida (580), Duke (585), Oregon (588), Brigham Young (588), Arizona State (594), Houston (595), East Carolina (602) and Harvard (603) round out the top 10.
The top six teams following Saturday’s final round will advance to the NCAA Championship in Eugene, Oregon from May 20-25.
Choi carded a three-under-par, 69, while Maguire, pictured above, signed for a two-under 70, Friday to boost the Blue Devils up the leaderboard.
South Carolina’s Katelyn Dambaugh shot a six-under-par, 66, Friday and leads the tournament with an eight-under 136. Only seven golfers remain in red numbers for the tournament with Choi and Maguire two of them.
Maguire opened the day on fire as she was three-under through six holes. A product of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire rolled in short birdies on No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6 to get to red numbers. After hitting her drive on No. 6 off the fairway to the right, she suffered one of only two bogeys on the day. Maguire got the stroke back on the 394-yard, par four ninth with a five-foot birdie.
“I gave myself a lot more chances today,” said Maguire. “I hit a lot of greens and I guess it wasn’t as windy today so it was a little easier from that standpoint. I probably didn’t quite hole as many putts today as I did yesterday. In general, it was just pretty solid from tee to green. I holed a few putts on the front nine, probably didn’t hole as many on the back nine. I was pretty happy in general.”
On the back nine, she totalled four straight pars on holes 10-13, but then had another bogey on No. 14. Maguire remarkably hit the pin on back-to-back chip shots on No. 13 and No. 14, but the ball would not fall in the hole on either shot. She closed the day with four consecutive pars to finish with her team-best 13th round of even or under par on the season. Over the first two days, Maguire has notched rounds of 73 and 70 for a one-under, 143, and is tied sixth overall. She hit 14 greens, 12 fairways and had 29 putts Friday.
GB and I Curtis Cup team selection Charlotte Thomas improved from 15th to second place with rounds of 73 and 67 for 140.
Another English player who will line up aganst the Americans at Dun Laoghaire GC, Dublin next month, Meghan MacLaren (Florida International) moved from T10 to T10 with rounds of 72 and 74 for 146.
Scot Rachael Taylor (North Carolina State) went the other way. She slipped down from T10 to T35 with rounds of 72 and 78 for 150.
NC State team-mate India Clyburn from Cleethorpes moved from T68 to T55 with rounds of 79 and 75 for 154.
