Leona Maguire is closing in on more matchplay success after reaching the last four of the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play.
The Cavan woman cantered into the semi-final after dispatching the last American challenger Lindsey Weaver-Wright 3&2 in the last-eight in Las Vegas.
After losing two of the first three holes, Maguire won five of the next six and never relinquished her advantage over Weaver-Wright.

It capped a superb Saturday for Maguire, who had earlier demolished Perrine Delacour on the back nine in the last-16, winning 5&3 having only reached the turn all-square.
Maguire will meet Japan's Ayake Furue in the last four on Sunday, last year's runner-up celebrating her 23rd birthday by beating France's Celine Boutier 2&1 having not been ahead until the 16th.
In the other semi-final, Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn - who beat Spain's Carlota Ciganda 3&2 - will face Linn Grant of Sweden.
