Quintuple bogey costs Áine Donegan dearly as promising US Open third round unravels But Leona Maguire remains firmly in contention and tied for fifth place after the opening holes of her third round
ÁINE DONEGAN’S PROMISING third round at the Women’s US Open unravelled in heartbreaking fashion with a quintuple-bogey nine at the eighth hole on Saturday.
Clare amateur Donegan started Saturday in a tie for 11th, but cemented her claim as a genuine challenger with three early birdies in a brilliant start at Pebble Beach.That moved her to two-under par and into a tie for fifth place as she stood on the tee box on the par-four eighth. She then played her fourth shot from the drop zone, but cruelly, the result was the same with her ball flying right into the penalty area.
Donegan bounced back impressively on the next hole, holding her nerve over a tricky up-and-down from the greenside rough to make par and go out in two-over par 38.
