At the time of writing, she sits in a 19-way share of 29th.

Emma Fleming, Anna Foster, Aine Donegan and Olivia Mehaffey are all above Maguire on the leaderboard.

Foster and Donegan both shot rounds of 71 to sit two-under, while Mehaffey has made the dream start with an eagle on the first.

Sara Byrne, Canice Screenan and Anna Dawson have also just opened their rounds.

Meanwhile, Kildare local Lauren Walsh signed for a two-over 75 after an improved showing on the back nine.
