Leona Maguire competed at last week's US Women's Open held at Pebble Beach Golf Course and finished at T31 position. Although she had an amazing start to the tournament, Maguire constantly struggled with her performance as the tournament progressed.

She finished with a score of +7, 16 strokes behind the winner Allisen Corpuz. Speaking of her performance, Maguire said:

“Felt like I played some really good golf, hit some really nice shots. Overall it was a really tough test, and for the most part, I played pretty well.”

Leona Maguire added:

"I mean, it's a U.S. Open. You're always trying to fight until the very end. I don't think you're thinking in terms like (it getting away from you).”

Maguire flew to London after the US Women's Open to compete in the next Ladies European Tour event.
