DURHAM, N.C.— Duke University junior
Lisa Maguire will compete in the Women's Interprovincial Matches July 5-7 at the Slieve Russell Golf Club in Cavan, Ireland.
Maguire will once again play on the Ulster squad along with Victoria Craig (Royal Belfast), Paula Grant (Lisburn), Tara Gribben (Warrenpoint), Hannah Henderson (Ballyclare), Niamh Ward (Lurgan) and Chloe Weir (Shandon Park), while being captained by Janet Wilson (Royal Belfast).
Ulster is the defending champions and Maguire has the advantage of playing at her home course, the Slieve Russell Golf Club.
Maguire, a product of Cavan, Ireland, is coming off winning the Ulster Women's Open Championship in late May at the Royal Belfast Golf Club in Ireland. She registered four match play wins after finishing second in stroke play qualifying with rounds of 76 and 77. In the championship, Maguire downed Aedin Murphy, who won her home club's Scratch Cup earlier in the season and was third in stroke play qualifying.
Each team consists of seven players and a non-playing captain. The interprovincial matches have been running for over half a century and are an essential element in the development of talented and elite golfers. Each province will play each other by match play, which will consist of three foursomes matches and five singles matches.
