Maguire helps set the pace

The Maguire family's mantelpiece is already straining under the weight of golfing silverware and there could be more to add this weekend as 17-year-old Leona, one half of the all-conquering Irish sisters act, eased to the front during round one of the Helen Holm Scottish Open Strokeplay Championship at Troon Portland.

On a largely pleasant yet testing day, where there was enough of a chilly breeze to cause plenty of mischief, Maguire carved out a seven-under-par 68 to set the early pace alongside Heswall's Rachael Goodall, who eagled her first hole in an equally impressive round.
