Leona Maguire braced for hectic summer swing and Solheim

It’s been a solid rather than spectacular season for the 28-year so far.

BOOKS FOR BIRDIES: Leona Maguire at the launch of KPMG's new Books for Birdies initiative.

Golfers are practised at combining a short and long game and Leona Maguire will be putting that ability to good use in New Jersey this week as she follows the Mizuho Americas Open with an educational spin up the road to Baltusrol.

The latter course will host the season’s second Major, the KPMG PGA Championship, later this month and sits less than a 20-minute spin west of the Liberty National course where she tees off at 6.10pm Eastern Time today.
