Leona Maguire may quite rightly be taking centre stage on home soil at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open this weekend but if anyone has the form to lift the 2022 crown at Dromoland Castle it could be Sweden’s Linn Grant.

The 23-year-old from Helsingborg was set to tee off her opening round at 8:20 this morning as 7/2 second favourite behind 10/3 punter’s choice Maguire and victory in County Clare on Sunday would not come as a great surprise given the stellar rookie season she has enjoyed so far on the Ladies European Tour.
