Leona Maguire shows class at Woburn

Lisa Maguire got a taste of the caddying duties she will assume in Rio as twin sister Leona proved she can rub shoulders with the best by opening with a one under 71 in the Ricoh British Women’s Open at Woburn.

With Lisa on the bag in a dress rehearsal for the Olympic Games in Brazil, 21-year old Leona dropped her only stroke of the round at the third but birdied the seventh and ninth to turn in 35, then came home in level with nine straight par on her card.

Nine strokes adrift of leader Mirim Lee of Korea, who has a three-stroke lead over Thailand’s Ariya Jutarnugarn, Leona is still well placed to make the cut as she shares 31s place

Olivia Mehaffey signed for a three over 75 featuring one birdie and three bogeys and shares 107th.

Out in 36 with a dropped stroke on the opening hole and a birdie on the third Mehaffey, who captured the bronze medal at the European Championships in Sweden last weekend, slipped up a little on the homeward stretch, dropping strokes on 11, 13 and 17 .
