Ireland’s Maguire strikes late for Women’s PGA Championship halfway lead
The HinduIreland’s Leona Maguire birdied three of her last four holes to take a one-stroke second-round lead on Friday in the Women’s PGA Championship at rain-soaked Baltusrol. “Didn’t really hole any putts on the front side, but nice to get those three birdies coming in,” added Maguire, who said a solid hybrid into the ninth gave her a comfortable seven-footer uphill putt to finish. I think you can’t think more than one shot ahead, let alone a hole or a round ahead.” Maguire’s European Solheim Cup teammate Reid was delighted to hit 18 greens in regulation on what she called a “beast of a golf course.” “The rough is really obviously thick,” Reid said. I’m not really too scared about hitting it in the rough, so I feel like it’s kind of freed my driver up.” Lin said she found the conditions even more challenging than Thursday’s.
