Maguire sisters sign with Niall Horan, ready for pro debut
Irelands Leona Maguire says her professional debut at the LPGAs ShopRite Classic this week will be even more memorable with her twin sister, Lisa, making it with her.Leona, the two-time Annika Award winner as the NCAAs Player of the Year, reigned as the world No. 1 amateur for a record 135 weeks. She teamed with Lisa at Duke University in their four years there. Theyre playing ShopRite on sponsor exemptions.Its a little surreal we will be teeing it up as professionals for the first time, Leona said Wednesday at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club outside Atlantic City, N.J. Its a very special opportunity. Weve grown up together, played together, practicing together, been best friends for a lifetime, both on the course and off the course.Lisa, who was born 15 minutes before Leona, is a European Ladies Amateur champ.Obviously, we are a little bit away from home here in the U.S., so its nice that we can support each other, and have our own little bit of family when we are away from our family back home, Lisa said. We always joked when we were kids. When we went to tournaments our dad said we have two chances to win, instead of one.

Both sisters have signed with Modest! Golf, a two-year-old management company that One Directions Niall Horan helped found.Its great to be part of the Modest! Golf team and to be their first Irish players and their first female players, Leona said. Its something thats very special. They are quite a unique company. They have strong ties to Ireland, which is really nice. We are both incredibly proud of our Irish roots. Theyre a young company, theyre ambitious, just like us.The sisters will start their pro careers with endorsement deals with KPMG, Allianz, Puma and Ping.Leona Maguire surprised a lot of golf observers choosing to remain at Duke for four years, instead of turning professional early, given her stellar amateur record. She said she never regretted it.Ive done it mostly my own way, Leona said. Maybe if I would have listened to a lot of people, I would have turned pro a long time ago, and maybe wouldnt have some of those experiences and memories. Nows a good time for me. We get to do it together, with all those experiences, with a world-class degree in our back pockets.Leona has Symetra Tour status, because she advanced to LPGA Q-School finals last year, and said she will focus on the developmental tour this summer as her rout to the LPGA; though, she and Lisa are each eligible for up to six LPGA sponsor exemptions this year.

1. More Hanse fingerprints: Like the first two stops in this year's FedExCup Playoffs — Ridgewood Country Club and TPC Boston — Aronimink will showcase the restoration talents of architect Gil Hanse and his assistant Jim Wagner. They were hired in 2015 to "restore what (Donald) Ross had intended" at Aronimink, Hanse said.

The rugged 12th hole at TPC Boston—imaginatively re-designed by Gil Hanse to the consternation of many competitors at the Dell Technologies Championship—consolidated a hard truth. Being a course architect, especially one who designs holes to be played by the best golfers in the world, is getting increasingly more difficult.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) - Martin Kaymer is 18 holes away from ending five years without a victory. He is mildly surprised. He is not the least bit stressed. And he has plenty of company among contenders at the Memorial for whom winning has become more of a memory than a habit.
