After a bogey on 13th, Maguire’s chances transformed with a run of birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie to propel her inside the top 20
“It is just patience. It would have been very easy to let that round go and spiral out [of control],” admitted Maguire, who has had huge demands on her this week as the poster girl of the tournament.
At least her move up the field would lead to a later tee time. “Breakfast is nice up in the castle so I will be able to have that again in the morning. Look, there’s a lot of demand on my time this week, I suppose, but it’s a good position to be in that people want to talk to me and want balls signed and want pictures taken. There will come a day when that won’t happen so I might as well enjoy it,” said Maguire.And it wasn’t just a one-woman show.
