Leona Maguire feels her game is trending in the right direction as she looks to build momentum for next week’s Evian Championship.

The Solheim Cup star carded a three-under 70 to move up the leaderboard in the KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Carton House. She had to dig deep just to make the cut in Friday’s high winds, carding a two-over 75 thanks to two birdies in her last seven holes to make it with a shot to spare on one-over.
