Kill’s Lauren Walsh has secured a LPGA Tour Card for 2026 after a superb final round at the Q-Series Final at the Magnolia Grove Golf Course in Alabama.

Walsh, who played her amateur golf out of the Castlewarden club in Straffan, went into the final round outside the top 25 that she needed to be in to secure her card on the lucrative US tour but superb final round of 67 saw her finished tenth overall.

She finished off her round with two birdies in the final three holes and she will now join Leona Maguire on LGPA tour next season.
