The list of participants is looking pretty strong, with the best players in the world. Leona Maguire can not be taken lightly; she has done wonders on the Michigan greens. So, the Irish golfer can be a threat to the big names in the sport.

Will Maguire clinch the trophy again?

There is no doubt that some courses are meant for certain players. The same can be said for the defending champion, Leona Maguire, regarding Blythefield Country Club.  When Maguire played the course for the first time in 2021, she finished runner-up. The following year, she lost out in a three-person playoff to once again settle for a share of second.

But the third time, she emerged victorious with an impressive 21 under 267. Maguire has one more LPGA Tour win in her bag. This win came in 2022 in the form of the LPGA Drive On Championship that took place at the Crown Colony Golf Club in Fort Myers, Florida. She scored an 18 under 198.
