McGinley plays major part in elevating Quinta do 

Lago  North to star status on Algarve's rich list

Co-designed by European Ryder Cup-winning captain Paul McGinley, Quinta do Lago’s new North Course on Portugal's southern Algarve        coastline, is one of the new stars of European golf and golfers can enjoy the lay-out for themselves this spring – with prices starting from just €455 (approx £335) per person for a three-night, three-round break.
Pictured above is the new 18th hole.

The North Course has earned widespread praise - GB and I women's international team captain Elaine Farquharson-Black (Deeside), pictured right, played it earlier this month and described it as "very impressive" - since officially being re-opened by McGinley last autumn,  including being named ‘Europe’s Best New Golf Course’ at the 2014 World Golf Awards. 
A regular visitor with his family to the prestigious Portuguese resort for the last 20 years, McGinley, pictured below, redeveloped the course in close collaboration with renowned American golf architect Beau Welling, with the new venue being completed in the space of just ten months.

As well as featuring a round on the North Course, the attractive new breaks also include 18 holes on Quinta do Lago’s two other championship golf courses, Laranjal and the South Course, an eight-time host of the Portuguese Open. 
Prices, which are based on two people sharing a room, include bed-and-breakfast accommodation at the luxury Monte da Quinta Resort nearby, and packages can be booked until October 31, 2015.

Alternatively, golfers can also enjoy exceptional value when booking one of Quinta do Lago’s new golf-only packages for 2015, with 18 holes on its North and South courses and Laranjal available from only €295 (approx £210) per person.

Quinta do Lago has been at the forefront of European golf for the last four decades with three award-winning championship courses matched by outstanding practice facilities including Europe’s only Paul McGinley Golf Academy, a state-of-the-art TaylorMade Performance Centre and new short game area.

Set within 2,000 acres of the picturesque Ria Formosa Natural Park, there’s plenty to keep guests occupied away from the fairways at the resort, with events, tennis, cycling and watersports just some of the extensive leisure activities available.

McGinley performed the official opening ceremony of the €9.6m new lay-out last October 7, just a week after leading the European team in the Ryder Cup.

The popular Irishman has redesigned the lay-out in close collaboration with renowned American architect Beau Welling. The course redevelopment is part of a €29m investment programme that has been undertaken by Quinta do Lago since 2009, with a further €21m planned to be spent on improving its facilities in the next three years. 
A frequent visitor to Quinta do Lago for more than 20 years, the North Course is the latest major project that McGinley has been involved in at Europe’s leading family destination after opening his Paul McGinley Golf Academy in 2011 and launching a new state-of-the-art TaylorMade Fitting Center last year.

McGinley said: “This has been a very exciting project to be involved in and Beau and I are very proud of what we have created. 
“I’ve been coming to Quinta do Lago with my family for many years now and it keeps getting better and better. The new design will test golfers in many different ways and I believe this is a great addition to Europe’s leading destination.”

One of the most talked about development projects in Europe in 2014, Quinta do Lago’s revamped North Course has been built to the highest specifications with a major investment programme and is in line to become the new number one course at the prestigious family resort.

The lay-out has been revamped with the emphasis firmly on precision and strategy. While many modern-day developments tend to focus on length, Welling and McGinley have been keen to design a golfing experience where accuracy and course management are the key factors, and a course that is playable and fun for golfers of all abilities. 

Among the changes introduced on the par-72, 6,776-yard course, which has been closed since last December, all greens, tees, bunkers, irrigation, drainage systems and cart paths have been rebuilt using the latest state-of-the-art technology
, with four sets of tees introduced on each hole to accommodate players of all levels. 
With the existing turf on all tees, fairways and greens having been stripped back, the final figures for completing such an ambitious project make impressive reading. A staggering total  of 379,800 tonnes of earth has been moved on site, and an additional 93.5km of new piping being fitted on the new layout.
A low-cut Bermuda grass approach has been introduced around greens to create a myriad of recovery shot options for increased satisfaction on all levels of play. The aesthetics of the golf course have also significantly improved through the introduction of a cool season rough grass and the select planting of native grasses and specimen trees to help the environment. 

The renovation has also allowed Quinta do Lago to further reduce the impact on the environment by using recycled water and solar energy to maintain the course. The reduction of grassed areas will lessen the impact on the environment and the new design will include the creation of some new animal and plant habitats.

Welling, who has worked on more than 90 projects worldwide, said: “We have kept the routing of the North Course intact, but we have totally reworked the golf experience within the existing corridors.  Specifically, we have worked very hard to make the experience be more playable for higher handicappers while at the same time created precise target areas for the better player looking to score. 

“Paul has been great to work with. He is very passionate about golf in general, but he has a particular and keen interest in Quinta do Lago.

“We quickly realised we were very much "aligned" in  terms of what we wanted to see happen with the improvements to the North Course, so collaboration has been easy.  We both put a big premium on playability, but also in asking golfers to use their creativity when approaching a shot.  
"The North Course is going to require strategic thinking and have a lot of shot values, no doubt a big imprint of Paul's influence.” 

Set amongst 2,000 acres of the picturesque Ria Formosa Natural Park, Quinta do Lago is one of the most highly regarded golf and residential developments in the Algarve since opening in 1972. Located just 15 minutes from Faro airport, the resort offers residents and guests an unparalleled location benefiting from a year-round temperate climate, a variety of lifestyle pursuits and a strong sense of community.

Since its inception, Quinta do Lago has been at the forefront of European golf with three 18-hole championship courses – Quinta do Lago North and South courses and Laranjal – matched by outstanding practice facilities at the Paul McGinley Academy and the new TaylorMade Fitting Center, which gives golfers the chance to enjoy the ultimate club-fitting experience by providing them with the tools and techniques used by professionals on tour.

Away from the fairways, the resort’s extensive leisure facilities guarantee there is plenty to keep everyone occupied, with events, tennis, cycling and watersports just some of the activities available. 

Quinta do Lago’s stunning location by the beach offers the perfect place to relax and unwind while the resort’s wide array of restaurants, both formal and informal, take advantage of the fresh Mediterranean produce for which the resort has become famous

Leona Maguire wins ACC individual title after 

play-off at Greensboro, North Carolina
GREENSBORO, North Carolina. – For the 17th time in Duke history, a Blue Devil golfer has claimed the ACC Individual Championship as freshman Leona Maguire, picture left by courtesy of Tracy Wilcox (GolfWeek), registered a birdie on the 29th hole of the day to win the title in a playoff against Virginia senior Briana Mao at the 6,089-yard, par 72 Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
“I’ve been playing pretty solid all year,” said Maguire. “It feels really good to get the win. To get an ACC title, it doesn’t really get much better than that.”
Maguire, who is a native of Cavan, Ireland, turned in a final round 70 on her way to carding a 10-under-par, 206, over the 54 holes.  She finished in a tie with Mao, who registered a five-under, 67, in Saturday’s final round.  Maguire became the 13th Duke golfer to win the title and is the eighth freshman in school history to win honors.
“It is as pretty much as dramatic as it gets,” commented Maguire.  “Me and Briana had a great battle all day today.  It was tied right up to the very end.  To come out on top, after such a long tournament and such tough weather conditions is just great.”
With the tournament being shortened to two days, the teams were forced to play 27 holes Friday and Saturday.  Maguire wrapped up round two this morning with a 36-hole ledger of 136 and held a two-stroke lead over Wake Forest’s Allison Emrey (138).  Maguire collected a 68 in round two with five birdies.
In the final round, Maguire rolled in 10 straight pars and fell behind Mao on the back nine before notching a birdie on No. 11 to move back into a tie.  Both golfers pared the next three holes, before sinking short birdies on the 445-yard, par five 15th.  Two more pars by the duo and they went to the 486-yard, par five 18th to settle the tournament.  They each featured birdie putts but could not drain them and it would go to a playoff.
“She made a lot of birdies on the front nine and really came at me,” said Maguire.  “I was just trying to stick with her the whole way and I knew if I could keep giving myself chances hopefully I would get a few birdies and catch up with her.  I guess I did that in the end so that was great. 
" I honestly thought I was one behind.  I guess I calculated it a little bit wrong on the score.  So I thought on 18 I was one behind so I only realized coming off the green that I was in a playoff.”
The tandem went back to No. 18 tee box and Maguire’ tee shot went down the left side, but she was able to hit her approach down to a good landing area for her third shot up at the green.  Mao went for the green and hit into the left bunker next to the green.  Both golfers had birdie putts but once again settled with pars.  The duo went back to the 18 tee box for a third straight time.
After both golfers hit good tee shots, Maguire decided to hit five-wood into the landing area for an approach, but Mao went for the green and went into a bunker for the third straight time.  Maguire placed the shot to within a couple of feet, while Mao was not as fortunate.  Mao would two-putt for par and it was up to Maguire to win with a birdie on the second playoff hole.  Maguire, pictured above with her prize, calmly sank the putt to claim her second career tournament title, both in playoffs.
“It was great,” commented Duke head coach Dan Brooks on Maguire’s victory.  “The last time she played that 18th hole, she had to play it three times in a row, she hit a five-wood to a landing area right in front of the green.  I think most players that don’t think as clearly as she does would have either tried to hit a three-wood on the green or laid up way short of the fairway bunkers.  
"Instead she found that little spot right in front of the green because she felt that she could get it up and down for birdie.  That is just knowing your game and being really smart.”
As a team, Duke placed second overall with rounds of 286, 288 and 289 for a 54-hole score of one-under, 863.  Virginia shot a tournament-record 27-under-par, 837.  North Carolina (866), Florida State (866), Wake Forest (866), Notre Dame (876), Louisville (884), NC State (887), Clemson (887), Miami (893) and Boston College (914) rounded out the field.
Fellow Blue Devil freshman Gurbani Singh placed sixth overall for her second career top 10 finish as she notched rounds of 70, 69 and 72 for a five-under, 211.  A native of New Delhi, India, Singh opened the front nine with a two-over, 37, but came back strong on the back nine with seven pars and birdies on No. 11 and No. 15.  She hit 14 greens, 10 fairways and had 31 putts on the day.
After taking home the ACC individual title a year ago, junior Celine Boutier placed tied 25th with rounds of 73, 74 and 74 for a five-over, 221
 Boutier, who is from Montrouge, France, had a great start with birdies on No. 2 and No. 4 to get to two-under-par.  She suffered bogeys on No. 9, No. 15, No. 17 and No. 18 to close with a 74.  Boutier hit 14 greens, 11 fairways and had 32 putts on the day.
Finishing off her first ACC Championship, freshman Lisa Maguire placed tied 50th with three straight rounds of 78.  Maguire, who hails from Cavan, Ireland, and it Leona's twin sister played her final seven holes at one-under-par with birdies on No. 15 and No. 18 to close the weekend.
Duke will await the NCAA Regional selection show Monday, April 27.  The regional sites for 2015 are Raleigh, N.C., San Antonio, Texas, Notre Dame, Ind., and St. George, Utah.
