Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow struggling down near the bottom of the field in Olympic golf competition at Le Golf National
Both Irish women down near the bottom of the field well behind leader Morgane Metraux at Le Golf National
Maguire’s 79 added up to 13-over-par 157 over two rounds and tied 57th of 60 players, with Stephanie Meadow marginally better at eight over after a 74 on day two, but also well off the pace and tied 52nd. Maguire had medal contention hopes having won on the Ladies European Tour in London last month.
She was not the only player to have water trouble leading to a quadruple bogey as defending champion and world number one Nelly Korda recorded a 7 at the par 3 16th, which put a stain on a two-under-par round of 70 that included seven birdies.
