SOUTH WALES – After a very impressive run through match play, Duke University rising senior Leona Maguire registered a 3&2 victory over Ainhoa Olarra to win the 114th Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship Saturday at the Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club in South Wales.
With the victory, Maguire became the second Blue Devil over the last three years to win the title as Celine Boutier won the championship in 2015. Maguire earned spots in the U.S. Women's Open and August's Ricoh Women's British Open with the title. It proved to be the biggest amateur victory of Maguire's outstanding career.
