Ireland Captains Naoimh Quigg and Niall MacSweeney have reminisced over an historic Home Internationals victory at Murcar Links in Scotland last weekend.

Leona Maguire needs a low round to get back into the mix after she got the tough side of the draw in the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield.

A determined singles performance from England saw them edge out Ireland to top the standings in the first-ever combined team format for men and women in the R&A Home Internationals at Ballyliffin.

LEONA MAGUIRE shrugged off two late three-putts as a grinding level par 71 left her very much in the hunt for the AIG Women’s Open at windy Muirfield.

SHANE LOWRY produced a late birdie burst but still trailed Harris English by six shots as Rory McIlroy struggled in the WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational in Memphis.

Ireland’s women beat Scotland 5.5-3.5 to salvage something positive from a disappointing day for the Irish in the consolidated Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa.
