Duke seizes early lead at Tar Heel Invitational

Scores

Led by its superstar sophomore, Duke fired out to a four-shot lead after the first round of the 54-hole Ruth's Chris Tar Heel Invitational.

Leona Maguire, the reigning ANNIKA Award winner and No. 1 in Golfweek's ANNIKA watch list, birdied her last two holes Saturday on the UNC Finley Golf Course and posted 3-under 69, good enough for solo second.

The Blue Devils shot 3 under as a team, with Sandy Choi T-3 at 70 and Celine Boutier and Virginia Elena Carta T-13 after matching 73s.
