'I’ve been calling home and calling my coach and saying, it’s close, it’s close. So it really is close now'

SUPER Sunday: Ireland's Leona Maguire watches her opening drive of the final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship at Kapolei Golf Club in Hawaii. 

Leona Maguire banked just over €105,000 as a final round 67 delivered a joint-second placed finish at the LOTTE Championship in Hawaii. The  26-year-old Cavan girl is now eyeing a spot on the European Solheim Cup team after her highest finish at an LPGA event.

The Slieve Russell talent picked up three birdies on the front nine, another on the par-5 14th before an eagle on 17 propelled her to -21, and a tie for second behind runaway winner Lydia Ko.
