That's the quarters. Will wait till 11 on Main Event.

Much tighter match the semi. Needless to say winner will play Korda.

Drifter100

I think she did well today, bit more like Irish conditions which obviously does`nt suit the American based target golfers but she will play Anh next and then Korda

Keep at it

Dan Steely

Some putt there on 10. Was looking like she might lose the hole but won it. Battler.

bbc sport website had rounds 1-3 scoring but couldn't be bothered with the matchplay. Too much trouble to change the page formatting.

Hopefully she can grind down Korda in the final tomorrow. She won't fear her anyway. Leona definitely loves matchplay and the fact she led the strokeplay section must mean she likes the course too.

Championship Match Tee Time
Match 7, 4:55 p.m. ET – Leona Maguire vs. Nelly Korda
Maguire vs. Korda Solheim Cup History

Korda and Maguire have both represented their respective countries in recent years as members of the U.S. and European Solheim Cup teams. Korda has teed it up in three of the biennial team competitions and boasts a 7-4-1 record with 7.5 points earned for the United States. Maguire has played in the last two iterations of the Solheim Cup, going undefeated as a rookie in 2021 with a 4-0-1 at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, and has also recorded 7.5 points for the European Team with a 7-2-1 record.

The pair faced off in two different matches in the team-play portion of the 2021 Solheim Cup, and Maguire, alongside her partner Mel Reid, defeated Korda both times in foursomes. They also played against each other in team play at Finca Cortesin in 2023, and Korda finally picked up a victory against Maguire, finishing 1 up over the Duke University alum and her partner Anna Nordqvist with Allisen Corpuz in the Friday morning foursomes matches.

Maguire answered the call, however, on Saturday afternoon, beating Korda and Ally Ewing 4 and 3 while partnered with LPGA Tour winner Charley Hull and picking up her third career Solheim Cup match victory over the current Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1.

4 down after 8.Would love to see her win but against Korda looks difficult.

Bogeys on 2 and 7 didnt help.

Come on Leona🇮🇪🇮🇪

finglashoop

Oh no

What was she thinking there

Scrabbel

3 down and Korda in trouble, that was her chance. Just one of those shots unfortunately. Looking v difficult again now, but if she could just get back to 2 down and .4 to play, who knows.

Watched a good bit of it and it looked like Leona didn't believe she could beat nelly. Bad mistake hitting the tree and ending up close to being stymied by it especially with Nelly in trouble.

In fairness, there's none of them even close to Nelly just at the moment, with the run of form she's on. If Leona had hit the fairway on that last hole they played and stuck it close it might have gotten interesting though. Maybe it was fatigue, but I got the impression that Leona just didn't really quite have her game in the final - not a criticism at all, it happens to the best, she did incredible to lead the qualifiers and get to the final. Hopefully it kickstarts her season now.

Does Lisa Maguire play competitive golf at any level now? Did she turn pro too or is she still an amatuer

As a matter of interest, what channel was it on. It was easier to find a nothingburger Junior B GAA match. All talk yesterday morning on Radio 1 of course, but god forbid they'd tell you where and when to watch live.

No Lisa does not play on the pro tours. I think she turned pro for about a year (~2018) but dropped from the scene. I know she was doing some work as a sports agent, but I'm not sure what her career is now.

Lisa Maguire currently works for Modest! Golf, Niall Horan's sports management company.

An opening round of 2 under par for Leona in the 3rd women's major of the season.

That is the joint second best round (with 5 others) with the morning session nearly completed. Nelly Korda leads on -3

gaa goes

Leona flying it in the Ladies European tour event in London in the Aramco series London event after round one. She leads on 7 under. Great stuff!

Lauren Walsh finishing fast again like last week, 6 under for the round after 10 and up to tied 4th.

Lauren Walsh finished with an eagle for a round of -8. Has the clubhouse lead on -6

this is painful to watch, and the putting in general across the field is poor

paulos53

Maguire has struggled all day but makes a great eagle on the last to win by 1. That is her first win on the European Tour.

Mushy

Insane putt to make after a not great day

RoadRunner
