Leona Maguire came up just short in her bid for a first LPGA Tour victory as Nelly Korda held her nerve on the final green at Blythefield Country Club.

A career-best payday of $214,000 (€180,500) will be of limited consolation after the Cavan golfer saw a 25-foot eagle putt to guarantee her a play-off slide by on the final hole at the Meijer LPGA Classic.
