LEONA MAGUIRE SAVED her best for last on the final day of the Women’s Irish Open as she finished on 10-under par.
The Cavan native was still well adrift of the leaders, though, as England’s Annabel Dimmock triumphed in a play-off with Pauline Bouchard of France after both finished nine shots clear of Maguire who was in a tie for 15th.
Bouchard almost produced a stunning victory on the O’Meara Course at Carton House with nine birdies for a sublime 65, but Dimmock, whose mother is from Cork, eventually came out on top after the second play-off hole.
