LEONA MAGUIRE TIES FOR THIRD AT ANNIKA INTERCOLLEGIATE

Following a slow start in the opening round of the 2016-17 campaign, Duke University third-year student Leona Maguire turned in a combined 11-under-par over the next two days to finish tied third overall at the Annika Intercollegiate.

Maguire registered a 65 in the second round and then finished with a 68 Tuesday in the final round on her way to finishing at nine-under-par, 207, at the Watson Course in Reunion, Florida. She finished just two shots off the individual leader, Maria Fassi of Arkansas (205).

“She’s striking the ball really well,” said Duke head coach Dan Brooks. “She said she struck the ball the first day as well as she did the whole tournament, it’s just the putts fell later and they didn't fall in the first day. That’s the whole deal with her. Once they started dropping, if she could make putts that first day like she did later in the tournament, it would have been really, really special.”
