Leona Maguire made the first hole in one of her professional career to go into the final round of the Forsyth Classic just fives shots off the lead.

The Co Cavan star (23) aced the 149-yard 17th with a seven-iron en route to a four-under 68 that leaves her tied for 10th on seven-under-par with Stephanie Meadow a shot further back in 17th after a 68 in Decatur, Illinois.

Thailand's Nontaya Srisawang carded a 65 and leads by a shot on 12-under par from Germany's  Isi Gabsa.
