Another solid start for Leona Maguire

Leona Maguire

Leona Maguire opened with a one under 71 as Duke grabbed the first round lead in the Landfall Tradition at the Country Club of Landfall in North. Carolina

Junior Sandy Choii fired a four-under par 68, and trails Notre Dame’s Isabella DiLisio (67) by one stroke on the individual leaderboard with Leona tied for eighth  place and Lisa Maguire joint 70th after a 79.  

It was Leona's seventh straight round of par or better to start the 2015-16 season as she hit a team-high 16 greens, 12 fairways and took 33 putts.  

She opened with a bogey but came back to card the first of three birdies on the day at the second hole.

Maguire suffered her second bogey on the 490-yard, par five 12th but came back with birdies at the 15th and 16th for her 71. 

Both senior Celine Boutier and sophomore Gurbani Singh turned in three-over-par rounds of 75 and are tied 36th overall.
