“Hit a bad shot on 10. That was a costly bogey. Kind of stopped my momentum for the front,” she went on to add.

Maguire made four birdies in a row from the 12th, rolling in a six-footer there before turning in another birdie from two feet at the 13th. What followed was a two-putt birdie at the 14th and a 10-feet birdie at the 15th.

Fans applaud Maguire in unison

Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, got abuzz with discussions and reactions to her exceptional display of talent. One fan, taking to Instagram, praised Maguire’s unwavering commitment to her process-oriented approach, stating, “Process, process, process! This lady stays with the process always… the outcome… that looks after itself.”

Another fan hoped she would go on to win the tournament. “Way to go! You are long overdue for a win! Go get ’em!” 

While another commented: “Did That Really Happen?”

“Hitting the fairway on 18 is key,” Maguire said. “The way the wind is blowing out of the left is quite hard. I can’t carry that bunker, so it’s hard for me to hit the fairway,” she added.

While Maguire has gone from strength to strength in the tournament, a few notable players like Lexi Thompson and Lydia Ko couldn’t hold their own and missed the cut.
