Maguire Selected ACC Golfer of the Month for April

DURHAM, N.C. – As Duke University's Leona Maguire heads into the final month of her collegiate career, the senior has been selected ACC Golfer of the Month for April. It marks the ninth time she has earned league golfer of the month accolade over her career, which is an ACC record.

A native of Cavan, Ireland, Maguire won her third ACC individual title by defeating teammate Jaravee Boonchant in the third playoff hole of last month's ACC Golf Championship at Greensboro's Grandover Resort, after finishing 54 holes with a six-under-par, 210. Maguire also led Duke its second straight and 21st overall ACC team title.

Earlier in April, Maguire finished tied for third at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic with rounds of 70, 69 and 71 for a 210, helping the Blue Devils tied for a second-place team finish. She broke the Duke career record for most career rounds of even or under par with 82. The win at the ACC Championship was the 10th overall of her Blue Devil career, which ranks third all-time at Duke.

For the month, Maguire totaled five of her six rounds at even or under par and held a 70.0 stroke average.

Duke, the No. 1 seed in the Madison Regional, will next compete May 7-9 in Madison, Wisc., for a chance to advance to the NCAA Championship in Stillwater, Okla.
