Leona Maguire eagled the final hole to win her first ever Ladies European Tour title at the Aramco Team Series London.
The Solheim Cup star led European teammate Georgia Hall by two strokes heading into the final round and clinched the win by one stroke thanks to a stunning finish.
Maguire, who has two LPGA Tour wins and two victories on the Symetra Tour, carded a final round 73 to finish at eight-under-par and pip Spain’s Maria Hernandez by one. She becomes the first ever Irishwoman to win on the LET.
It looked like Hernandez had done enough for at least a playoff thanks to a bogey-free five-under 68 until Maguire struck a wonderful hybrid into the par 5 18th hole at the Centurion Club to set up a tricky eagle putt from inside 10ft.
Maguire’s left-to-right effort found the bottom of the cup to steal the title away from the Spaniard in a topsy turvy level par final round that included a double bogey, three bogeys, three birdies and the closing eagle.

The next Aramco Team Series event takes place at a yet-to-be-announced location in Asia from 4th-6th October.
