Leona Maguire’s impressive display at the Chevron Championship in Texas showcases her tenacity and skill. Despite a shaky start, the world number 15 fought back from being five-over par with only seven holes remaining in the second round, shooting a miraculous 69 to secure her place in the opening women’s Major of the season. The Co Cavan born 28-year-old continued her excellent form, with a bogey-free, two-under 70 in Saturday’s third round and a respectable closing 73 at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands last night. Maguire finished tied for 24th in the clubhouse on level, thanks to a steady sequence of birdies at the fifth and eighth, counterbalanced by bogeys at the fourth, 11th and 16th. Her unwavering determination and impressive technique earn her a spot amongst the most exciting players to watch in the game.
