Contrasting fortunes for Irish in action this weekend.
LEONA MAGUIRE WAS the best of the Irish finishers at the Women’s British Open but her worst round of the weekend saw her drift out to four-over par. On Saturday, Maguire was seven shots off the lead in a tie for 19th after carding a one-under par 71 to be level par for the tournament.
Stephanie Meadow and Lauren Walsh both failed to make the cut ahead of the weekend. Elsewhere, Tom McKibbin ensured a seventh top-10 finish on the DP World Tour at the Danish Golf Championship. A two-under par final round did the job for the Holywood native, although a double bogey was the one blemish on an otherwise impressive showing that included five birdies. France’s Frederic Lacroix started the day four shots off the lead but produced a stirring round of 65 with six birdies to claim his first win on tour. — Updated 22.29: An earlier version of this article omitted that Stephanie Meadow and Lauren Walsh did not make the cut at the Women’s Open; this has been corrected.
