Solheim Cup: Chance to regain trophy offers ‘extra incentive’ says wildcard Leona Maguire

The 31-year-old became the first Irish player to represent Europe in the competition when she was selected for the 2021 version and broke the all-time rookie points record for either the Solheim Cup or Ryder Cup with a contribution of 4.5 points as the away team triumphed 15-13.

The County Cavan woman’s overall individual record in the competition after also taking part in the two subsequent editions reads eight wins, one half and three defeats.

“It’s one of my favourite events. It’s a team event which we don’t get to do very often and matchplay which I love,” she explained.

“I think once you’re part of one Solheim, the same as the Ryder Cup, you don’t want to miss any more.

“It’s competitive, there’s no money on the line, it’s all just for pride and all the rest. You’re doing whatever you can to help your teammates and the team.

“We obviously lost the last one so there’s an extra incentive to try and bring it back this time.”

Maguire, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour and a one-time victor on the Ladies European Tour, hopes the backing of home supporters can help Europe reclaim the trophy at the 20th running of the event.

“Home support always helps as well. There was massive Irish support in Spain two times ago so hopefully a few Irish will maybe make the trip to Holland.”
