Leona Maguire sees room for improvement despite ‘solid’ week at Major via IrishTimesSport
Maguire, meanwhile, congratulated American Rose Zhang who set a new record of 136 weeks as number one in the world amateur rankings. Maguire’s streak of 135 weeks was the previous record.
The Northern Irishman edged out Pádraig Harrington to the title at Gleneagles last year to become just the fourth player – joining Bob Charles, Gary Player and Tom Watson – to complete The Open and Senior Open double. “I feel so honoured to be able to put my name alongside some of the greats of the game and now I want to keep playing well and keep contending in some of the biggest events on our schedule.
Ahead of the final round, Doug Sanders had quipped to fellow players in the locker room: “I’ve just earned a $200 reward. I found the tractor in the rough they say has been missing for two days.”
