Tom.D.BJJ · 04-07-2015 7:14pm

-8 in fifth place and only four shots behind going into tomorrow

slave1 · 04-07-2015 9:51pm

Going very steady, scorecards well tidy, no doubles

Tom.D.BJJ · 05-07-2015 4:12pm

-10 at the turn and only two shots behind the leader!!!

Tom.D.BJJ · 05-07-2015 5:47pm

She's well in this. Only one behind the leader with four to play 👍

Rikand · 05-07-2015 5:52pm

Missed a short birdie putt at 15 but still well in it. Showing exactly why she's no. 1 amateur in the world

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:00pm

Has given herself another birdie chance on 16

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:01pm

Just missed it, looked in all the way.

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:09pm

Leader only pars 17 after driving through the green.
Not sure if Leona can drive it though, 258 to pin, 230 carry over water.

Edit: She's going for it

Rikand · 05-07-2015 6:11pm

Back bunker. In with a chance

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:12pm

And she went through the green too into a bunker.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 6:21pm

Tricky putt for birdie on 17. She putts well though - missed a birdie by a whisker on the last hole.

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:22pm

Birdie on 17.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 6:22pm

YES! Share of the lead - good woman!

Tom.D.BJJ · 05-07-2015 6:23pm

Share of the lead. 18th to play

And a nervy wait as she looks on at the leader.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 6:29pm

Bugger. In the bunker on 18.

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:29pm

Bugger, too long and into bunker on 18th.

Tom.D.BJJ · 05-07-2015 6:35pm

Nice shot. Decent chance of par.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 6:38pm

Missed it. Pheck!

PARlance · 05-07-2015 6:38pm

Misses an 8 footer. Great display all the same.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 6:40pm

She seems so cool and calm. Great week for her.

Tom.D.BJJ · 05-07-2015 6:40pm

Damn, just missed. Fantastic achievement to finish second. Huge future

From the Ladies Euro tour website...

"Gustafson knew the right things to say at the key moments, but a clubbing decision on the par three 18th tee cost the less experienced Maguire the chance to win the title.

Handling the disappointment like a professional, Maguire explained: “I knew it was tight coming up 18 and we didn’t really know where the wind was coming from. I thought it was downwind, dad thought it was into the wind and it was probably the wrong club off the tee but I’m very proud of the way I played all day. Going out at the start of the day I would have taken that so it’s been a great day.”

Superb stuff from Leona.

She got 9 Rolex ranking points for finishing runner so she debuts at 336 in the world rankings.

Also in the bag is an invite to the last major of the year (Evian Masters).
She might also try to qualify for the British Open.
European team championships on this week.

Nice article...

my friend · 28-07-2015 9:26am

She's failed to qualify for the British Open - that's a pity

billy3sheets · 28-07-2015 9:54pm

What was the story with her caddie? She was on the radio being interviewed about her failure to qualify. Apparently the caddie left his phone on and it rang on the first fairway costing her a 2 shot penalty. He then gave her a wrong yardage. She was polite but you could tell she was seething with him. Don't know who he was but apparently a seasoned Tour caddie.

Wow, that's poor form to say the least, how much did she end up missing the cut by?

Missed by 4 as far as i know.

newport2 · 29-07-2015 12:49pm

I'd love to see a rule brought in for a 2 shot penalty for any player whose phone rings on the course in any competition.

Speak Now · 11-09-2015 5:01pm

Playing her first major this week and has made the cut. Well played Leona.

Rikand · 11-09-2015 5:06pm

Just beat me to it. Sitting on +3 and currently T46th. Projected cut of +5. Well played indeed!

Watching it on SS and no sign or mention of her, in fairness too far back, still Creamer missed the cut

yipsnomore · 13-09-2015 5:14pm

T34 great performance

Only 3 of this weeks European Solheim cup team finished ahead of her!

Speak Now · 14-09-2015 1:19pm

Leona up to 280th in the world rankings now, good ranking considering the divisor is 35 and she only has 2 counting events. Still number 1 in amateur rankings as well. Stephanie Meadow is ranked 161, she's struggled this year.

slave1 · 14-10-2015 7:04pm

She won at the weekend .... ... .. .

Her match is currently live on The Golf Channel for those with access...

ForeRight · 02-11-2015 9:19pm

Seems like a lovely grounded girl and very intelligent. Serious potential and hopefully can have a solid pro career and represent us all on this tiny island....

slave1 · 28-04-2016 6:17pm

and she makes the 2016 Curtis Cup team.....

galwaylad14 · 29-04-2016 9:33am

How's the sister getting on? Lisa isn't it? Seemed like there was never anything between them all the way up along but it now seems like you just hear about Leona really. Suppose it was only natural that one of them would emerge as the better golfer.

slave1 · 29-04-2016 11:32am

From what I see of the Duke uni entry to team comps in the States Lisa is usually a dozen or higher shots behind Lena in virtually every tournament

She seems to be struggling a few years, ive heard major swing changes but not sure, im sure she will be back winning again, too good of a player not to imho

Interesting, they were only back from Duke a few days at the end of term last year when they were in with Shane O'Grady in my home club. Have seen them in the club for lessons a couple of times.
They have a young brother coming through the ranks who's also supposed to be razor sharp.

slave1 · 01-07-2016 11:12pm

See Lisa will caddy for Leona at the Olympics, I think this could well be a long term arrangement should Lisa not close the gap in terms of results between them.

They could switch after 9 holes if Leona wasn't playing well and nobody would notice!

Leona was interviewed on the radio last week and said that Lisa had gone through a major swing change this year and was starting to play some good golf again.

Leona herself said she was just starting to work with the same coach on something small in her own game so I guess she must think a lot of him after seeing Lisa's improvements
