The champion golfer has seen her career reach incredible heights, with her achieving her second victory on the LPGA Tour, making her the first Irish woman to do so

Leona Maguire says she feels responsibility to ensure young girls continue to play golf as they get older.

“I think the drive to improve comes from the desire to better every aspect of my game, even if that might only be by 1% at a time. “I often look to other athletes in different sports for motivation too. We have so many great Irish athletes right now, female athletes especially, and it hard not to feel motivated seeing them succeed in their sporting realm.”“I think that golf, like many other sports has made significant inroads in the last number of years with respect to gender equality and inclusivity across the sport,” she shared.

“However, over the course of the campaign we could definitely see waves of change ripple through each of these areas. There is no doubt that the numbers of young girls playing sport today is as high as it ever has been, but I think it is our responsibility now to ensure that these young girls continue to play sport as they progress into their teenage years and adulthood.
