LISA MAGUIRE (13) LEADING QUALIFIER
IN IRISH CHAMPIONSHIP AT WESTPORT

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION
Thirteen-year-old Lisa Maguire (Slieve Russell) won the Leitrim Cup - four shots ahead of the field - as leading qualifier for the match-play stages of the Lancome Irish women's close amateur championship at Westport Golf Club with an impressive total of five-under-par 143 after 36 holes.
The youngster now faces Ann Geoghegan (Athlone) tomorrow morning.
With a fresh and windy start at Westport, the first year school student continued her devastating form with back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth on her way to reaching the turn in one under par.
Further birdies at the 15th and 18th, where she chipped in, saw Lisa complete her level par round of 74 after an opening round of 69.
Maura Morrin (The Curragh) continued her steady form. She was level par over the front nine followed by two bogeys and a birdie on the back nine to finish with a 75 and a total of 147.
Twin sister Leona Maguire (Slieve Russell) was the only player to finish under par on Day 2 with a birdie at the first hole and level par thereafter for a 73.
