Breaking Leona Maguire finishes with a flurry to claim first LET title

Leona Maguire has made history by becoming the first Irish player to win a Ladies European Tour event after a one-shot victory at the Aramco Team Series event in Hemel Hempstead.

The Cavan native had been the front-runner throughout the tournament, but endured a difficult final round before coming out on top thanks to a stunning second shot at the closing par-five 18th.

Having trailed clubhouse leader Maria Hernandez, who posted a seven-under par score, by a shot going down the last, the pressure was on - but Maguire produced one of the shots of her career having come out of light rough in the centre of the fairway before sinking her putt.

It was the second Irish eagle on 18 after Lauren Walsh had done likewise to round off a stunning round, her 65 seeing her finish just two shots off the lead.
