Frustration pays off for Lisa Maguire and Duke
ATLANTA – Perhaps no one at the East Lake Cup needed a win worse than Lisa Maguire.
The Duke junior – whose twin sister, Leona, is the No. 1-ranked amateur in the world – has been floundering for the past three years. When she arrived on campus, in August 2014, she and Blue Devils coach Dan Brooks embarked on a massive swing overhaul. Despite Maguire’s decorated junior résumé that included 16 amateur titles and a top-50 world ranking, Brooks knew his incoming freshman’s inside-out, power-sapping swing was in dire need of a rebuild.
