DURHAM, N.C. – For the second time over the last three years, Duke University’s Leona Maguire has been tabbed AmateurGolf.com Women’s Player of the Year as announced Wednesday.

The AmateurGolf.com Women's Player of the Year is awarded based on a point system earned through performance in major women's amateur events throughout the course of the year. The senior who hails from Cavan, Ireland, won a tight race over Hye-Jin Choi of Korea.

Maguire kicked off 2017 by registering her first win of the year in February at the Northrup Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif.
