Aine Donegan

People wouldn't even know what the Vagliano was, but it is GP and I First continent of Europe in the ladies' event.

And Áine Donegan and Beth Coods were the Irish representatives.

Áine Donegan is playing in the deciding match, 12-all, deciding match, par 5, 18th.

She's got 2.35 to go to the pin.

She knocks it to about 15 foot right of the pin, holds the putt for Eagle to win.

A shot behind that, Anna Foster in a tie for 17th on six under as she's playing her final hole of her third round.

Lauren Walsh back on five under, and Aine Donegan on four under par from an Irish perspective, while Annabel Wilson is back on one under.

Sarah Burn, um-

Missed the cut, yeah.

Oh, I think you count the win this week if, um, if the Irish players continue to do as well as they have.

The fact that we had a record 16 players between pros and amateurs at The K Club this week at a Ladies European Tour event, there's kind of a feeling that who's gonna come after Rory and Shane in the men's game, and that's no disrespect to the likes of Stuart Grahan or Connor Purcell, who are, who are definitely, they have a lot of potential and have been doing incredibly well.

But you look at the female golfers that Irish golf has produced over the last couple years, what they've done at varsity level over in the US, what Leona's been doing, what Aine Donegan and, uh, Sarah Burn have been doing in their rookie seasons, it's really, really bright.

And I think the fact that six made the cut at a pretty big Ladies European Tour is nothing to be sniffed at

Leona Maguire's moved to four under par for the tournament, three holes of her second round to play.

We've got Aine Donegan, Annabel Wilson, and Anna Foster all on two under par.

By the way, over in Atlanta, Rory McIlroy is one under par on day two of the Tour Championship.

That is seven shots behind the leader at the moment, Min Woo Lee of Australia.

The new CDSL season also kicked off for the weekend, and it couldn't have gotten any better for Shandon Town and Bridge United, who both secured commanding opening Hugh Kelly Cup victories.

We tee off the prestigious Irish Open week with professional golfer Aine Donegan, and also see James Lynch make the conversion from-

Ah

... [laughs] co-host to guest when speaking about the premiere of the new Ennis Women's Rugby documentary, Who We Are, charting the historic inaugural AIL season for the club this week.

[laughs]

Uh, so look, we'll talk about that a little later.

We're also have Aine Donegan.

Great to have her back on the show.
