Leona Maguire finishes just outside the top 10 in LPGA Tour event
survived a pair of double bogeys to hold off Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee and win the Hoag Classic on Sunday at Newport Beach Country Club.
"Yeah, I never make it easy, don't do it simple," Harrington said."I think one of my best traits in golf is when my back's to the wall, I'm pretty good at taking things on."After a birdie at number three, Harrington suffered a double bogey at the par-3 fourth hole. Birdies fell at numbers seven, 12 and 15 to help him claw back, but he suffered an enormous setback at the difficult par-4 16th.
"Look, I knew I could finish birdie-eagle if I had to," Harrington said."I was very focused, just take it on. I was a little unlucky. I hit a nice tee shot on 17 and where I finished up, we thought it was a fraction to the right.
