Leona Maguire will have plenty of support as she bids for the ISPS Handa World Invitational on the back of a tie for fourth – her best major result to date – in the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield.

World number 77 Richard Bland is the only male player in the top 100 in the field in an event tri-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour which sees men’s and women’s tournaments taking place simultaneously in Co Antrim.
