Leona Maguire - LPGA/LET Winner

THis was very evident on 17 yesterday with Ko hitting an 8 iron and Leona playing some sort of hybrid/wood!

I was very surprised how far Ko was hitting it, she is built like a stick. Seems to be quite tall though and has a great swing.

Another good week for Leona with a 4th place finish on the final weeks tournament in LET in Spain.

I think I heard the commentator saying only two bogys the entire week.

Very solid golf. She's a bit good!

Watched a good bit of the weekend and have watched a lot of Leona in the past but the distance really stood out this weekend for some reason... Maybe because seeing her hitting much more club is almost expected on the LGPA, whereas I mightn't have expected to see it highlighted as much on the European Tour. Maybe it was the Spanish amateur teenager (who was excellent) who played with Leona on Saturday that really emphasised it.

Has she added more hybrids to her bag recently I wonder? She hit a 6 hybrid in the 158 yard par 3 18th yesterday.

Not sure, would never have taken too much notice outside of just expecting to see her hitting hybrids when others on the LPGA had irons tbh. But the commentators did mention the 6 hybrid on 18 yesterday and it jumped out at me. At 158 yards, I wasn't expecting to see a hybrid on what was a fairly short par 3.

Maybe she just prefers hitting the hybrids, I'm sure she could be getting a 6i or 7i there if she wanted.

You could see it off the tee when she was against Lydia ko, she was significantly shorter off the tee when both were using their driver. Not that she was lacking for her approch play on par 4s, but it made a difference on par 5

Love watching her play but a smile would crack her face.

Comes across a bit dour.Probably isnt but still.

What a load of bollocks. She's a serious operator, why do you need her to smile. Her scorecards do the talking

MOD EDIT, if you have a concern please use the Flag button, no backseat modding, tks

A good recovery from Maguire in the first major of the season.

She was +5 through 29 holes but 4 birdies in the final 7 holes is good enough to make the cut

Leona has some metaphorical cajones and she shows that in matchplay!!

Its a pity she is so far back off the tee....wonder does she need do a Matt Fitzpatrick

Not a great day for her but she's normally good in the final round and she's only two back.

Eagle on 14th now tied for the lead.

Great chance for birdie on 16, and it's in! Joint leader

Yess! Birdie on 17 for sole lead on -20.

Lin bogeys 17 to leave Leona 2 ahead and in middle of 18th fairway.

Excellent thanks you.

Lin bogey on 17 so 2 shot lead now with 1 hole left

In on -21 for an unbelievable 64. Brilliant!

Update that thread title folks.

I see that Stephanie Meadow was the first to congratulate Leona as she walked off the 18th green. Had a good week herself in a tie for 13th place.

Great news altogether. Thanks for all the info lads
