Alex Maguire was beyond emotional after he blocked out thoughts of Thomas Bjorn’s nightmare Liffey descent 20 years ago and made what could prove to be a career-changing cut in the Amgen Irish Open at The K Club.
Ranked 1,678th in the world, the Laytown and Bettystown talent (24) has struggled to earn status on any tour since he played in The Open as an amateur and then turned professional in 2023.
