Twin sisters raise the Irish flag in Spain

FORGET the weekend heroics of Darren Clarke and Des Smyth. Irish golf has another double reason to celebrate.

Ten-year-old twin sisters Lisa and Leona Maguire finished first and second at the Tiger Woods’ endorsed Young Masters Golf Grand Masters Final in La Manga, Spain, over the weekend.

The Cavan sisters played the 5,700m-championship course at La Manga in the flag competition whereby a flag is placed where the golfer has hit their final shot.
