Leona Maguire hopes latest feat sparks more Ladies European Tour joy for Irish

Leona Maguire says she hopes her feat of becoming the first Irish player to win a Ladies European Tour event will open the floodgates for more players from Ireland to earn success.

The Cavan native claimed a one-shot victory at the Aramco Team Series event at the Centurion Club in Hemel Hempstead on Friday to make history.

Describing her emotions at the 18th green to RTÉ Sport's Greg Allen, she likened it to a "Solheim Cup moment", harking back to her heroics from three years ago.

"It's a huge honour to represent Ireland no matter where I go, you're always trying to fly the flag as well as you can and we were close in the Buckinghamshire not too far from here with dad on the bag all those years ago, so it's nice to go one better today," she said.

"That's the first win on the LET for an Irish woman, hopefully there will be many more in the years to come."
