LEONA MAGUIRE MADE a solid, if unspectacular, start to the first Major of the year with an even-par 71 finish on day one of the Chevron Championship.
The Cavan native is tied for 32nd place, six shots off joint leaders Jennifer Kupcho and Minjee Lee at Mission Hills Country Club in California.
Maguire’s three birdies were cancelled out by bogeys in a round which began in ideal fashion.
A birdie on the first was followed by par on the second to maintain that positivity but bogeys on the third and fifth dented that early progress.
She regrouped for the start of the back nine, birdying the par-four 10th, but a bogey on the par-three 14th prevented Maguire from building up a head of steam for the finish, although a third birdie on the par-five 18th will hopefully provide some momentum ahead of day two.
Play is continuing, with Jordanstown’s Stephanie Meadow beginning her round on the back nine. She was level par through her first 10 holes, a birdie on the par-5 11th the ideal confidence booster before a bogey five on the 18th.
When the f*ck is Foley gonna take Keatley off?
I think keatley
is playing himself out of the World Cup
“Is”?? Did so months ago!
Ian keatley hurts my head, Munster playing well well deserve there lead at ht!
Replacement needed in the summer Foley!
Keatley finally hauled off after another missed kick.
Should be hauled off somewhere far, far away.
Will, this is a very important day for all the Munster faithful. I would greatly appreciate it if you would occasionally keep tabs on this video. An annoyance by the name of RobsonKeane keeps trying to degrade this team. If he posts anything derogatory that is overwhelmingly red-thumbed, please remove it.

Keatley is having a shocker – am I allowed say that Conor Cahill?

Robson.
You’ll be pleased to now that’s exactly what I want Robson. Facts, not rubbish.

Murray gone off is a game swinger (looked like a little cheap shot) surprised with the amount of spaces in the crowd
Foot-soldiers of the Red Army going missing in action
Jesus after Leinsters season you must be used to that kind of stuff John.
To the Brave and the Faithful nothing is impossible, except maybe filling Thomond Park for a league game
Sweet mother god… get Keatley off ffs !!!!!!!!!!!
Munster doing there best to lose this !
Keatley mentally shot!!! Left 9 points with missed kicks and his kicking out of hand POOR!!!!
Has to be said again, Owens is some ref!
He had his Paul O’Connell underpants today!
Every time he makes a mistake he gets hammered here so it’s only right to point out Williams has been motm so far
U takeing the piss china?
Not at all, he was moving the ball v quickly from the ruck, his passing was accurate, his kicking game was superb and he made a game saving intercept inside Munsters 22. Saw what you want about past performances but he was excellent today.
Infairness china he played very well I must admit when he came on, its such a rare occurrence that it startles me!
Message to Foley: WTF were you doing leaving Keatley on for so long ?????
Well now if Munster lose this due to missed kicks! And Zebo…..wouldn’t even bring him to World Cup to be a water boy
This is really dire from munster
Please munster let keatley go seriously, he is pathetic
Keatley definitely didn’t do his World Cup prospects any good there.
We have the creativity of a wet sock
Keatley can’t do it when pressure comes on
What a move and try for munster at a perfect time.
Chop tackles should be outlawed. They are potential leg breakers.
Great first half despite the pressure and Murray’s departure a superb try to finish at HT. Well done to the lads in red.
