LEONA MAGUIRE’S STRUGGLES continued at Le Golf National today as the Cavan native carded an 11-over-par 83.
Following a 78 and 79 across the opening two rounds, Maguire sits way down the leaderboard in 59th place, 24 shots over par for the weekend.
A frustrating day included a quadruple bogey eight on the par-four 15th followed by a triple-bogey six on the 16th, along with six bogeys and two birdies.
Finland’s Noora Komulainen is the only golfer behind Maguire in the leaderboard.
It was a better day for Stephanie Meadow, who climbed the leaderboard with a level-par 72, improving on her opening rounds of 79 and 74.
Meadow carded four bogeys and four birdies to finish on eight-over overall, tied for 44th place.
Lydia Ko, bidding to add a gold to the silver and bronze medals she won at the past two Olympics, is level at the top of the leaderboard on nine-under with Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux heading into the final round.
