At just 21 years old, Lottie Woad became an LPGA Tour champion by winning the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open during her professional debut. She finished with an impressive score of 21-under par, which matches her age, after a closing round of 4-under 68. Woad had a successful amateur month, previously winning the Women's Irish Open and narrowly missing the playoff at the Evian Championship. She earned $300,000 from this victory and aims to continue her momentum at her next event, the AIG Women's Open in Wales.
Woad capped a remarkable month with her fifth birdie of the day at the par-5 18th hole. She won the Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour as an amateur three weeks ago and missed a playoff by one shot the next week at the Evian Championship major before deciding to skip her senior season at Florida State and turn pro.
Woad matched the rare accomplishment by Rose Zhang, who in June 2023 became the first player in 72 years to win in her LPGA Tour debut at the Mizuho Americas Open. Beverly Hanson won the Eastern Open in her debut in 1951.
