Leona Maguire fades on final day while Tom McKibbin secures top 10

Contrasting fortunes for Irish in action this weekend.

LEONA MAGUIRE FINISHED tied 37th at the Womenโ€™s British Open as her worst round of the weekend saw her drift out to four-over par.

On Saturday, Maguire was seven shots off the lead in a tie for 19th but slipped down the leaderboard with a final round of 76.

Stephanie Meadow and Lauren Walsh both failed to make the cut ahead of the weekend.

Elsewhere, Tom McKibbin ensured a seventh top-10 finish on the DP World Tour at the Danish Golf Championship.

A two-under par final round did the job for the Holywood native, although a double bogey was the one blemish on an otherwise impressive showing that included five birdies.

Franceโ€™s Frederic Lacroix started the day four shots off the lead but produced a stirring round of 65 with six birdies to claim his first win on tour.
