A 2016 Olympian who has already competed in two U.S. Women’s Open tournaments and has twice been named a national player of the year, Leona Maguire’s successful Duke golfing career is drawing to a close.
The one accomplishment the 23-year-old Irish golf phenom lacks is an NCAA championship.
She’ll shoot for that when the NCAA tournament begins on Friday at Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Maguire twice played at the LPGA Q School, where she could have earned her tour card and turned professional. Both times, in 2016 and again last October, she stopped short of that accomplishment and returned to Duke.
