Leona Maguire - LPGA Winner 2022/23

RoadRunner

Good to see them make the leap together. There'll be good days and likely some bad ones ahead for both to share and help each other.

Deeper Blue

Very interested to see how they both get on. I wish them well

Harsh on Edoardo, former Ryder cup player and before last Sunday only had one less Euro Tour win than Francesco!

Eduardo had won The US Amateur when he turned pro, he was the better golfer in 2005.

Maybe Lisa will take to the pro ranks better than college

Keano

Both have been signed to Modest Golf.

Best of luck to them both, hopefully long and successful careers.

Anyone hear Leona on OffTheBall the other night?
I missed it.

So Lisa is in, currently in last place at 13over, 3 doubles, 7 bogeys and although just one short worst that second-to-last place is 6 shots worst that third-to-last place. Bet she's glad to be in.
Leona yet to tee off...

Leona playing at the minute and getting good coverage on The Golf Channel and they went through her amateur career too, nice segment

Gone -2 now

For the life of me I cannot understand how Lisa Maguire aspires to make it in the pro game. i wish her the best but feel that she has been badly advised. Does anyone else feel it a bit creepy that way that the two girls are completely attached at the hip? I hope that it wont interfere with Leona's progression in the pro ranks..

Why? What’s the worst that can happen?

Leona really is a phenomenal prospect for Irish golf. I watch a huge amount of the LPGA as I find it more relateable to my own game. The men are playing a different game altogether.

I'm really looking forward to seeing an Irish flag on the leaderboards in the women's game now.

So I think -2 was a solid first round, Leona’s drives were 28yds longer than Lisa and she missed just one fairway on the shortest LPGA course of the year, coverage was just her putting, would be nice to see more of her overall ball striking

Could make 10 bogeys and 3 doubles in a competitive round.

She was lucky so, did 3 shots better than the worst that could happen.

Haven't watched them for years. Is there any personality there or are still ignoring people on the course.

What do you mean? Ignoring who on the course?

Many years ago they were ignoring supporters on the course.

There just didn't seem to be any personality there at all. Has that changed?

I don't know. I've never seen them play.

What do you want them to do - chat to spectators between shots? Crack jokes?

Nothing wrong with smiling and saying hello, thanks for the support, etc.

No one cares about no.1 these days. If you have no personality you are invisible.

I just wanted to find out if they grew out that phase.

Anyhow, Leona playing some good stuff, although she had 2 bogeys, she'd had an eagle and three birdies after 11holes and up to T5.
There are still a number of contenders to go out but the going is better in the morning.
Doing well...

Minderbinder

Just gone birdie, eagle, birdie to move into the top 5.

Leona was as engaged with the gallery as anyone else when I saw her in the Curtis Cup at Dun Laoghaire.

Strong finish, birdied the last two to currently lie T4th

Another double to start for Lisa.
