Ryder boost for Maguires

IRISH golfing sensations, identical twins Lisa and Leona Maguire, led the qualifiers for Europe’s Junior Ryder Cup Team after finishing first and second in at the 2008 European Young Masters.

The 13-year-olds will continue their remarkable golfing journey at the Junior Ryder Cup, to be played at The Club at Olde Stone, Bowling Green, Kentucky on September 15 and 16, just a few days before Nick Faldo’s European Team defend The Ryder Cup against Paul Azinger’s Americans at Valhalla Golf Club.

Lisa’s three round aggregate score of five under par 214 over the Golf de Chantilly in France saw her finish four strokes clear of her sister and Spain’s Anna Arrese, while Scotland’s Carly Booth took the fourth and final automatic qualifying spot on 219.
