Leona Maguire fades on final day while Tom McKibbin secures top 10

Contrasting fortunes for Irish in action this weekend.

LEONA MAGUIRE FINISHED tied 37th at the Women’s British Open as 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 but slipped down the leaderboard with a final round of 76.

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.
