Leona Maguire wins match at KPMG Women's PGA at Baltusrol with top form

Posted : 22 June 2023
Leona Maguire, the recent winner of the LPGA Classic, enters this week's KPMG Women's PGA at Baltusrol in New Jersey as the player in top form.
 
After an impressive performance in the Solheim Cup, Maguire secured her second tour victory with a remarkable back-nine 30 and a closing round of 64. Having been a runner-up in the previous two years, her triumph has boosted her confidence as she sets her sights on her first major title.
 
The challenging Baltusrol course, which hosted the men's US PGA Championships won by Phil Mickelson and Jimmy Walker, presents a stern test for the Irish golfer. Maguire has already studied the layout and believes it will be an ideal preparation for the major tournament.
 
She highlights the importance of her strong driving and expects the greens to be firm and fast, similar to her previous victory.

With a rising trajectory in her game, including notable performances in the LPGA Match Play and Mizuho Americas Open, Maguire is steadily positioning herself as a potential major champion.
 
She credits Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner, for assisting in sharpening her short game, which played a significant role in her recent success.

As she prepares for the KPMG Women's PGA, Maguire may seek further guidance from Harrington, who has experience at Baltusrol.
 
The selection of historic courses like Baltusrol and Pebble Beach for prominent women's tournaments signifies the game's effort to raise their profile.

This strategic move aims to enhance the status of women's golf and narrow the pay gap that exists between the men's and women's game, where the latter still lags behind in terms of prize money.
