Despite missing the cut at last week's US Open, Leona Maguire said it was the best she's driven the ball in two years.

Missing three consecutive cuts, her first time doing so since 2022, would seem to be reason for Leona Maguire to be worried about her form. After carding a 76 in her opening round at Erin Hills for last week’s US Open, the Cavan golfer gave herself a chance of making it to the weekend with a fine front nine on day two. Her ascent of the leaderboard lost altitude after a triple bogey on the 11th. Despite adding to the missed cuts at the Riviera Maya Open and the Americas Open, Maguire believes her game is finding its edge.

“I'm not overly concerned about last week,” said Maguire during a media day for next month’s KPMG Irish Open at Carton House.
