Leona Maguire among the field chasing $5 million prize money at this week’s Aramco Saudi International
Leona Maguire springs back into action at this week’s Aramco Saudi International, a tournament on the Ladies European Tour which has undergone a huge increase in prize money from $1 million to $5 million.
The real magic was conjured up in the third round. Tiger Woods had managed to make the cut – but only just – in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines and then, playing catch-up, he moved up the gears to make the tournament his own. In the third round, Woods shot a course record 62 to move from nine strokes back to claim a one-shot lead heading into the final round, where he chipped in for eagle on the ninth hole to strengthen his cause.
Woods signed for a closing 65 for a total of 22-under-par 266 that gave him a two strokes winning margin over Billy Ray Brown, who later recalled their respective play of the 18th hole: “I had the honour. He hit a tee shot that made a different sound. We had been separated by five-10 yards all day. This one was, ‘see ya!’ I was well over 200 yards away. He hit 7-iron for his second shot. I almost lost the ball in the air, it was that high.
