7/6/2022 5:07:00 PM | Women's Golf
DURHAM -- Former Duke women's golf standouts continue to shine on the professional circuit in 2022. Listed below is a rundown on how the Blue Devils have fared on the LPGA, Ladies European Tour, Epson Tour and WAPT.
LPGA
Celine Boutier
Duke (2012-16)
ACC Rookie of the Year (2012-13)
National Player of the Year (2013-14)
All-America (2014-15)
Boutier competed in four events in June, with her best finish coming at the ShopRite LPGA Classic where she was tied for ninth with an eight-under-par ledger of 205 after three rounds. After breaking even following the first two rounds, Boutier shot an impressive eight-under-par, 63, to fly up the leaderboard and secure a top 10 finish. Boutier also finished at eight-under-par in her next tournament, the Meijer LPGA Classic, but would finish tied for 40th with a 280 though four rounds. Boutier's ninth place finish at the ShopRite Classic was her best result since tying for fourth at the Chevron Championship in May, and broke a streak of three straight finishes in the 30's, which included a tied for 34th result in the U.S. Women's Open to begin the June slate. Boutier would finish with a scoring average of 72.5, before bouncing back to notch a ninth-place finish in the following event. She'll be looking to repeat that feat in her next tournament as well, after failing to make the cut in her last outing in June at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Boutier's earnings for June amounted to $98,215, and she continues to sport some impressive metrics on the LPGA Tour so far in 2022. Through 14 events played on the season, Boutier ranks third in holes below par with 211, birdies with 203, and eagles with eight. She's also seventh in rounds under par with 34 and 10th in scoring average, at 70.08. Currently holding a CME Ranking of 13 and a Rolex Ranking of 22, Boutier's earnings in 2022 now sit at $698,118.

All-America (2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18)
Following a rough patch where she failed to make the cut in three straight events leading up to June, Maguire came out and delivered a pair of huge results over the last few weeks. At the U.S. Women's Open, Maguire started out of gates by shooting a pair of 70s in the first two rounds, before posting a score 68 in the third round. Maguire would hold on with a final score of two-under-par, 282, to secure a tied for eighth finish among a deep, competitive field at the U.S. Open. Maguire would unfortunately miss the cut at the ShopRite LPGA Classic afterwards, but she returned to form in a major way by posting her second-best finish of year by securing a tied-for-second finish at the Meijer LPGA Classic, after falling in a playoff. Although she missed out on the victory, Maguire was still dominant, shooting 69, 68, 68, and then 65 to finish at 18-under-par after, 270. Most recently in action at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, where she finished tied for 54th, Maguire has steadily climbed to 20th in the Rolex Rankings and 14th in the CME Rankings. She's notched $813,723 in earnings this season through 14 events played and currently ranks 10th on the Tour in birdies, with 177, and 11th in holes under par, with 178.
