IRELAND’S TWO MEDAL HOPES for the women’s Olympics golf competition had a difficult day at the office on Thursday.
Leona Maguire has dropped well down the leaderboard with a disappointing second round of seven-over par, which brings the Cavan woman to +13 so far.
Stephanie Meadow has also recently finished her round, two over par for the day, leaving her at +8 after two rounds.
With some contenders yet to conclude their rounds, Morgane Metraux of Switzerland sits atop of the leaderboard at eight-under par.
Disapointing was looking forward to watching it no need too now
@Square: they’ve been absolutely awful by the sounds of it
@Square: The leaderboard has big names on it. Should be a very good closing two days.
@Michael Corkery: . Harsh commentary. These things happen in golf.
@Michael Corkery: leona still world class she not just in any kind of form
@Richard Ford: korda most likely winning
@Richard Ford: shocking timing she just had a 7 on par 3 lol
@Richard Ford: you’re right Richard. Just looking at their world rankings, it’s not a total surprise they’re so far off the pace. I guess you kind of expect better when it comes to Ireland and get of considering it’s by far our biggest participation sport and nobody on the island lives farther than 5km from a golf course.
@Square: Oh dear. She followed that with a bogey and finished with a birdie. That course does things like that to you. She’s six off the lead but only three behind Ko. Moving day tomorrow will be interesting.
