Lauren Coughlin produced four days of controlled, decisive golf at Shadow Creek to claim the 2026 Aramco Championship by five strokes — her second LET title and third on the LPGA Tour. Leona Maguire was the best of the European contingent, finishing in a share of second alongside world number two Nelly Korda.
Coughlin arrived in Las Vegas in form and left with the trophy. She shared the lead after round one, held it outright through 36 and 54 holes, and never allowed the field to get close enough to threaten. A two-shot cushion at the start of the final day proved more than sufficient as Shadow Creek continued to punish anyone not in complete control of their game.
She bogeyed three times during the final round but answered quickly each time, closing with a birdie on 18 to seal a seven-under-par total of 281. It was her first official title since the 2024 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open — a co-sanctioned event on the LET.
Maguire delivers her best of 2026
Leona Maguire was the standout European performer and the story of the week for GB&I golf. The Irishwoman closed with a one-under 71 — five birdies, four bogeys — to finish at two-under overall and share second place, her best result on tour this season.
“Any time you can shoot three rounds under par at Shadow Creek, you’re pretty happy,” she said. “I felt like my game had been a lot better lately than some of the scores I shot, and it was nice to see that sort of come to fruition this week.”
The result moves her to eighth in the LET Order of Merit with 412.50 points.
Hull and the GB&I supporting cast
Charley Hull was the next-best British performer, finishing in a share of 15th at five over par — rounds of 70-78-75-70. The Englishwoman’s final round of 70 was one of the better closing efforts in the field and showed the kind of resilience that has defined her season so far.
Lottie Woad made the cut and finished T41 at 11 over, while Annabell Fuller missed the cut at eight over after rounds of 75-77. Alice Hewson finished T71, and Lauren Walsh also made the weekend, finishing T71 alongside Hewson.
Gemma Dryburgh made the cut but closed at nine over in T35.
On the broader European front, Spain’s Carlota Ciganda finished T9 at two over — picking up 116.25 LET Order of Merit points in the process — while Switzerland’s Chiara Tamburlini posted a solid T17 at six over.
What’s next on the LET
The tour takes a one-week break before resuming with the Joburg Ladies Open at Randpark Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, April 16–19 — the first event of the South African swing.
