“Go!” extolled Leona Maguire of her approach shot from rough on the sixth, her 15th hole of the second round of the ANA Inspiration at Rancho Mirage in California, but her verbal influence over the ball was in vain as it came up short and plunged to a watery grave in the hazard guarding the green.
What happened next, though, exemplified her fight. Taking a penalty drop, Maguire then hit her approach short of the green - and thankfully over the pond - and, then, chipped-in for a bogey. Sometimes, those type of bogeys are as good as any birdie and for the 26-year-old Co Cavan golfer that avoidance of a double-bogey or greater was crucial.
