Duke freshman Gurbani Singh registered a one-over-par, 72, on day one to pace the Blue Devils and is tied 10th overall. Singh, who hails of New Delhi, India, carded three birdies over her first eight holes to move to two-under-par. A bogey and double-bogey over her next two holes dropped her to one-over-par through 11 holes.

A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire held an even-par ledger through 15 holes, but suffered bogeys on No. 16 and No. 18 to close the round.

Both Celine Boutier and Sandy Choi turned in rounds of 74 Friday and are tied 22nd overall. Boutier, who is from Montrouge, France, could not get a putt to drop as she had one birdie on the day at the 346-yard, par four 11th. A product of Seoul, South Korea, Choi had 33 putts to go along with 13 fairways and 13 greens in regulation Friday. She rolled in her lone birdie on the fourth hole and was even through 10 holes.
