Klara Spilkova claimed the Women’s Irish Open after a three-way play-off at Dromoland Castle in Clare.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The player from the Czech Republic, 27, birdied the par-five 18th to defeat Nicole Broch Estrup and Ursula Wikstrom, both of whom made pars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The trio finished on 14 under par after a dramatic final day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland’s Leona Maguire was one of four players to finish one shot back after a 68, including a birdie on 18 when she needed an eagle to make the play-off.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a packed leaderboard, multiple players made their way on to the final green with a chance to move into at least a share of the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark’s Smilla Soenderby had an eagle putt that would have moved her to 15 under, but she three-putted and did not even get into the play-off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before claiming her first win in five years, Spilkova birdied the last to card a round of 67 while Wikstrom forced her way into the extra holes with four birdies in the final five holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having made three straight birdies, Broch Estrup had a chance for another on 18 to take the outright lead, but saw her effort come up agonisingly short.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maguire comes up just short in homecoming<\/h3>\n

Maguire was the crowd favourite as the Irish Open returned for the first time in a decade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Home favourite Maguire started the day two off the pace after a scintillating 65 on Saturday saw her roar back into contention following a disappointing second round.<\/span><\/p>\n

The county Cavan native was unable to carry that momentum into the early stages of her final round though, with back-to-back bogeys in the opening two holes seeing her slip back.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the Solheim Cup star produced another brilliant back nine to give the crowd hope of a home victory, with four birdies through eight holes setting her up for an unlikely shot at the lead coming onto the 18th<\/span><\/p>\n

Maguire needed an eagle to reach 14 under, but could not chip in from just off the green and instead made birdie to finish in a share of fourth.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was just a little bit too far back after Friday,” Maguire told Sky Sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you told me I’d have finished 13 under on Friday night I would have taken it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There has been some great golf played. The Irish fans have had a lot to cheer about this week, they’ve come out in their droves and I think the first Irish Open in 10 years has been a roaring success.”<\/span><\/p>\n
