Maguire Claims Sixth Collegiate Win; Duke Wins Team Title

March 26, 2017
BATON ROUGE, La. – For the sixth time as a collegiate golfer and the second time this season, Duke University's Leona Maguire claimed medalist honors as the junior carded a season-best 10-under-par, 206, at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic 6,247-yard, par 72 University Club in Baton Rouge, La. As a team, the Blue Devils won the team title for the second straight season with 10-under-par, 854.

Maguire collected the wire-to-wire victory with rounds of 67, 68 and 71, which was four shots better than teammate Virginia Elena Carta (210). A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire's six wins at Duke now ranks tied fifth on the all-time charts along with Brittany Lang and Lindy Duncan. Maguire led the field in par five scoring (seven-under, 4.42) and par four scoring (five-under, 3.83).

"It was great to finish our regular season with a win," said Maguire. "Hopefully we can build on our performance this week and take some good momentum into ACCs."

In the final round, Maguire jumped out to another strong start as she stuck her approach shot to within one foot for birdie on No. 2. After a bogey on No. 5, Maguire connected on three birdies over a five-hole stretch on the back nine to move to three-under. On the 144-yard, par three 16th, Maguire hit her tee shot into the water and suffered a double-bogey. She would go on to par the final two holes to finish with a one-under-par, 71. Maguire now owns 14 rounds of even or under par on the season, after hitting 14 greens, 12 fairways and rolling 29 putts.

As a team, Duke collected its second win of the season with rounds of 285, 286 and 283. Oklahoma State (872), Arkansas (873), NC State (880) and Denver (880) closed out the top five teams.

Playing as an individual, junior Lisa Maguire had her best round of the weekend Sunday with a three-over, 75. Maguire, who is from Cavan, Ireland, played her final 14 holes at even par with two birdies and her first collegiate eagle on the 448-yard, par five 14th. She hit her rescue club from 200 yards onto the green. Maguire then drained a 35-foot putt for eagle. On the day, she had 30 putts, hit eight fairways and eight greens.

The Blue Devils will next compete against Northwestern in match play action Sunday, April 2 in Durham, N.C., prior to heading to the ACC Championship April 13-15 in Pawley's Island, S.C.
