In case you missed it -- which is understandable, since you had to have the pay version of the Peacock app to watch it happen -- Leona Maguire became the first Irish woman to win an LPGA event.
She's also the the first woman to win an LPGA Tour event in Fort Myers in 47 years. Back then, Sandra Haynie beat Pat Bradley to win the 1975 Greater Fort Myers Classic.
Things have changed a bit since then.
It's just another item to add to Leona's list of accomplishments, both as an amateur and a pro. Now, with an LPGA win under her belt, I guess we'll be watching to see if she can grab her first major.
If she does, it won't surprise anyone. Congratulations, Leona!
