Where once she was in the shadow of the main attraction at the Women's Irish Open, Leona Maguire is the big cheese at Dromoland Castle this week.
Now 27, she played her first national Open as a 14-year-old in 2009 as part of the Great Britain and Ireland Vagliano Trophy team invited to participate at the time.
The teenage sensation was paired with Laura Davies and out-scored her on the first day, carding a 74 to the English legend's 75.
