Leona Maguire seals first professional victory in California

Leona Maguire was toasting her first professional victory on Sunday evening.

The Cavan golfer won a play-off to take the Windsor Golf Classic in California.

She shot a final round 65 to finish on the top of the leaderboard with Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand and sealed victory with a birdie on the first extra hole.

The victory saw the 2016 Olympian claim the $22,500 winner’s share of the $150,000 total purse.

She said: "What a feeling. Absolutely delighted to get my first professional win.

"Thank you everyone for all the lovely messages. Couldn't have done it without all the help from my family, friends."
