Leona Maguire - LPGA/LET Winner

If Leona turned pro 5 or 6 years earlier then she did, I think she would have been a superstar and have won many majors .

In the last couple of years the game changed to a more athletic, big hitting game

The ladies game is more younger oriented than the mens game. Teenagers win majors. Leona is nearly 29 now with 3 seasons under her belt...? She may has missed her peak years...

Any word on what time Leona is teeing off?

Yeh, she's a charisma magnet to be fair, can'y deny that.

Maguire is paired with Lucas Glover in the Grant Thornton Invitational. The 1st round is a scramble and they started with 10 consecutive birdies before parring the 11th.

Currently 3 ahead but the later starters have plenty of opportunities to close the gap.

The 3rd round will be an interesting format. Both players tee off and then swap balls for rest of the hole

Maguire & Glover remain in 2nd place after the foursomes. Probably should be leading but for 2 or 3 poor putts from Glover.

It is a modified fourball tomorrow. Sounds like a fun format for a club competition if a fair handicap allowance could be worked out.

A different format on the LPGA this week. 54 holes of strokeplay followed by match play for the top 8.

Maguire is -3 and in T5. Stephanie Meadow is level par and T9. The 3rd and final strokeplay round is tonight.

How do they separate T8? Or is it 8 and ties?

They did a playoff between the 4 people tied for 8th

Where can i watch this please?

Is it on Sky Sports Golf YouTube channel? Can't find it.

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

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

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.

Oh no

What was she thinking there

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.

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

It was on Sky after the men's golf finished

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
