LEONA MAGUIRE HAS jumped 25 places in the world rankings following her second-place finish at the Meijer Classic last weekend.
Maguire matched her best-ever week on the LPGA Tour following a gripping battle with world number four Nelly Korda in Michigan, with her performance resulting in a major move up the rankings to a career-high 63rd.
Maguire landed a runner-up cheque in the region of €180,000, and has now shot up the rankings ahead of the Women’s PGA Championship, which gets underway at Atlanta Athletic Club on Thursday.
