LEONA MAGUIRE HAS made it through to the last four of the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play with a 3&2 win over American Lindsey Weaver-Wright.
It follows her 5&3 quarter-final win over France’s Perrine Delacour, and she will now face Japan’s Ayaka Furue in today’s semi-finals.
Maguire was two-down to Weaver-Wright through three holes, won five of the next six holes to take command. She won the par-five fourth with a birdie and after they split the fifth Maguire won four straight in a run highlighted by her chip-in for eagle at the seventh.

“It was a bit back and forth,” said Maguire, who had gone bogey-free in her morning victory over Delacour. “I was two-down early, chipped in for eagle on seven which was sort of a nice momentum kick forward.”
The other semi-final on Sunday morning will pit Sweden’s Linn Grant against Thailand’s Parajee Anannarukarn.
