Lowry Finds Going Tough In Greensboro While Leona Maguire Lands Major Top 5

Monday, 8 August 2022 12:33

Clara's 2019 Open Champion sneaked in to the weekend but that was as good as it got.

It was a hard finish to a tricky week for Offaly's Shane Lowry. 

A triple bogey on the last hole of the tournament summed it all up after his clubs went from Dublin to Chicago while he waited to start his Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.

While he did get hold of his clubs just in time, Lowry's game wasn't where it needed to be.  

Rounds of 71, 68, 74, and 71 were only good enough for a tie of 84th place. Last of those who made the weekend cut.

Kim Joo-hyung was an impressive winner.

Leona Maguire secured her best-ever finish at a Major Championship yesterday.

The Cavan golfer posted a seven-under total to finish in a tie for fourth at Muirfield.

Maguire was three shots adrift of eventual winner Ashleigh Buhai (pr: boo-hi).

The South African beat In Gee Chun in a play-off to take the title. 

Padraig Harrington narrowly missed out on a play-off place at the Shaw Charity Classic on the Champions Tour.

The Dubliner finished on eight-under-par - one shot behind Jerry Kelly and John Huston.

Kelly won the play-off with a birdie at the first play-off hole.
