Maguire in Contention as Kildare's Walsh Shows Resolve at Aramco Championship

Sunday, 5 April 2026 10:05

By Mark Hanbidge

Leona Maguire remains in the hunt, while Walsh continues to battle through a demanding week at Shadow Creek.

Ireland's Leona Maguire sits fifth heading into the final round of the Aramco Championship, six shots behind leader Lauren Coughlin after a third-round 74.

Maguire is one-under-par overall, responding well to setbacks during her round to stay within reach of the leader.

From a Kildare perspective, Kill native Lauren Walsh continues to show resilience on a challenging course, carding an 80 to sit at 14-over heading into the final day. Anna Foster is also in action, lying at 11-over after her third round.

With one round remaining, Maguire leads the Irish charge, while Walsh will look to finish her week strongly in difficult conditions.
