The 2024 Solheim Cup gets underway today in Virginia, however, Leona Maguire has been omitted from the opening foursomes.
Europe and the United States tied the last meeting of the sides last year in Malaga. Maguire is part of Team Europe for a third time. However, it's the first time she's sat out a session in her Solheim Cup Career.
The Cavan woman has the best record of Europe’s current Solheim Cup team with victories in seven of her 10 matches in the competition.
The 29-year-old was the star of Europe’s last win in the United States, claiming four and a half points in Toledo in 2021.
However, Maguire has struggled for form this year, with some performances well below her own standards. It marks the first time Maguire will sit out a session in her Solheim Cup career.
