Leona Maguire kept within striking distance of the clubhouse lead after the second round of her professional debut at the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey. The 23-year-old Cavan golfer carded a four-under 67 to add to her opening 69 to move to six under in the three-round event. Maguire included an eagle-three on the par-five ninth hole on the Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club and closed with back-to back birdies to finish her round on a high. Leona’s twin sister Lisa struggled on her professional debut, carding a 13-over 84. She was among the afternoon starters and opened her round with a double bogey.
