Solid finish for Leona Maguire as Angel Yin wins Honda LPGA Thailand

A solid final round effort from Leona Maguire saw her finish tied for 33rd at the Honda LPGA Thailand as Angel Yin held on to win the tournament by a stroke.

Maguire's chances of contending at Siam Country Club had been scuppered early after a 74 in Thursday's opening round but over the next three days the Cavan native managed to claw her way back up the leaderboard with Sunday's two-under 70 moving up to six under.

In a generally positive final round, Maguire managed five birdies with the sole blemish coming with a damaging triple bogey on the par-5 first.

FINAL LEADERBOARD

Meanwhile, at the top of the leaderboard, American Yin saw her five-shot lead whittled down to just one as she pipped Japan's Akie Iwai to victory.

Yin's 65 saw her finish on 28 under, while Iwai took the final round by storm with an 11-under 61 to fall just short.

Home favourite Atthaya Thitikul finished third, six shots behind Iwai following a 66.
