On a soggy Sunday in New Jersey, Irish hopes of a breakthrough women’s major championship dripped away at Baltusrol.

Third-round leader Leona Maguire of Cavan, and longtime friend Stephanie Meadow, who hails from Jordanstown, Co Antrim, and holds membership at the famed Royal Portrush, failed to ignite any sparks in the final grouping as a wave of charging chasers overtook them in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
