Maguire, who hit six birdies and two bogeys in her opening round, is two shots further back and in a strong position heading into Friday’s action.
Meanwhile, there’s some Irish representation at the men’s Vic Open, which is also being held this week.
Down’s Jonathan Caldwell is four off the lead after a five-under 67, in an opening round which featured three birdies between the 15th and 18th hole.
It was a mixed day out for Cormac Sharvin whose four birdies and two bogeys left him with a round of 70.
