Leona Maguire shot four-under for her final round at the Amundi Evian Championship, leaving her in a tie for seventh on 11-under at the fourth Major of the year. She finished three shots off eventual winner Grace Kim who defeated Jeeno Thikitul in a playoff to claim the title.
Maguire had opened the tournament in France with a stunning six-under 65 on Thursday, a round which included a hole in one, to put her tied for the lead. Her challenge stalled on Friday and Saturday with level par and one-under rounds, respectively, meaning she started Sunday four shots off the lead.
