Walsh Gains Valuable Experience Despite LA Exit

Saturday, 18 April 2026 10:01

By Mark Hanbidge

Kildare's Lauren Walsh will take positives from a testing week on the LPGA Tour despite missing the cut in California.

Lauren Walsh bowed out of the JM Eagle LA Championship after two rounds, but the Kildare native showed resilience on a demanding course.

Round of 74 and 75 left her just outside the cut mark, with the tight layout proving a challenge for much of the field. While it wasn't enough to make the weekend, Walsh continues to build experience at the top level.

Fellow Irish golfer Leona Maguire also missed the cut, as both now shift focus to the upcoming Chevron Championship, where another opportunity awaits.
