Solheim Cup hero with lots of work to do as she trails Finnish leader Ursula Wikstrom by six shots at the midway point
“I was just flat today, didn’t quite hit it as nicely as I did yesterday. I drove it well but didn’t quite give myself as many chances as yesterday. Again, I couldn’t really buy a putt. “It is finding that trade-off, it would be nice to hit them a bit firmer and take a bit of the break out. But at the same time there is some sneaky ones down so it’s just about trying to match pace and line a little bit better,” she added.
“I think it’s going to be a bit of a shock to the system!” she said of getting back to student life. She is playing the tournament on a sponsor’s invitation and has been quite the revelation. As an amateur, Abom won’t be entitled to any of the prize money on offer – the purse is €400,000 with €60,000 to the winner – but Maguire will definitely aim to make further inroads in her bid to add the Irish Open title to her impressive career CV.
