Teen amateur Mia Hammond wins Epson Tour's inaugural Greater Toledo Classic
Seventeen-year-old Mia Hammond won the Epson Tour's inaugural Greater Toledo Classic hosted by Stacy Lewis by a single shot over a trio of players. The New Albany, Ohio, native, who played on a sponsor exemption, birdied the last hole at Highland Meadows Golf Club to finish at 12 under for the tournament. Hammond shot 66-66-69 to edge Amanda Doherty (66), Yue Ren (66) and Erika Hara (67). Hammond, a member of the inaugural U.S. National Development Team, had previous experience at Highland Meadows, playing in the event's Monday qualifier. She tied for 26th at the LPGA's Dana Open in 2023 at age 15. The new Greater Toledo Classic fills the void left by the Dana Open, which ended its decades-long run on the LPGA last season. The new Epson Tour event is unique in that it combines a Legends of the LPGA tournament with the developmental tour. Weather suspensions forced the Legends event to be shortened to 36 holes. Angela Stanford beat Laura Diaz in a playoff to claim her fourth career title on the senior circuit. "I've kind of been dealing with a minor injury," said Stanford, "and I did everything in my power to get here because I love this place. I love the people here, and it would have broken my heart if I couldn't play.'

Lottie Woad looks every bit a veteran in winning Women's Scottish Open in her first LPGA event as a pro
Woad finished at 21-under 267 and earned $300,000. 'I think it's quite hard to do that, but very special to win in my first event,' Woad said. 'Everyone was chasing me today, and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots.' Kim had opened with four birdies in seven holes, and when the South Korean added birdies on the 11th and 12th, she shared the lead with Woad. Advertisement Woad was unflappable, making birdie on the 13th and 14th holes to regain control and dropping only one shot late in her round. She finished with a three-quarter wedge over a winding burn to 2 feet for birdie and a reserved celebration. Lottie Woad is victorious in her FIRST professional start at the Women's Scottish Open! 👏🏆 — Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) Her victory is certain to get everyone's attention in women's golf. Woad was the No. 1 amateur in the women's ranking when she won the Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour three weeks ago. Then, she finished one shot out of a playoff in the Evian Championship in France, an LPGA major. Advertisement That gave her enough points for an LPGA card, so the 21-year-old decided to forgo her final year at Florida State and turn pro. Now she has an LPGA title — the Women's Scottish Open is co-sanctioned with the LET — as she heads south for Royal Porthcawl in Wales for the final major of the year in the Women's British Open. Nelly Korda, who played the opening three rounds with Woad, ran off four straight birdies on the front nine until missing some putts that stalled her momentum. She shot 71 and finished eight shots behind, leaving the American winless this year after a seven-win season in 2024. Julia Lopez Ramirez closed with a 65 and tied for third with Sei Young Kim (73), earning the Spaniard one of three spots available in the Women's British Open next week. The other spots went to Paula Reto of South Africa and Mary Liu of China. Woad first made a name for herself when she 'I think Augusta, that was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win,' Woad said. 'So definitely felt the pressure of it more there, and I felt like all those experiences helped me with this.' The only difference this week was getting paid for it. Along with winning the Women's Irish Open, Woad tied for 31st in Advertisement She heads to Wales hopeful of keeping the momentum. 'It's been pretty good, yeah. I don't really know how to describe it,' Woad said. 'Just been shooting low scores, which is always nice.' The LPGA Tour has had a different winner in all 19 tournaments this year, the longest stretch of no multiple winners in its 75-year history.

Lottie Woad wins Women's Scottish in professional debut
Lottie Woad collected her first paycheck Sunday at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. It was a big one, too: a $300,000 first-place prize. Woad won in her professional debut – and for the second time in her last three starts – with a three-shot victory at Dundonald Links in Gailes, just north of Troon. Woad birdied two of her first three holes after starting the final round two shots clear of the field. Hyo Joo Kim's seven birdies in 14 holes earned the Korean a share of the lead with Woad, but Woad's back-to-back birdies, at Nos. 13 and 14, pushed her back ahead. And Kim would then slip with two straight bogeys to end her threat. Woad carded just her third bogey of the week after tugging her approach left at the par-4 16th, though it mattered little. Woad stuffed her approach at the par-4 17th but missed the short birdie putt. She safely laid up at the par-5 closing hole before wedging to 2 feet for a closing birdie. Her 4-under 68 pushed her to 21 under. Kim (68) ended at 18 under, four shots ahead of Julia Lopez Ramirez (65) and Sei Young Kim (73). Nelly Korda (71) was solo fifth at 13 under. Woad is now only the third player to win in her professional debut on the LPGA, joining Rose Zhang (2023) and Beverly Hanson (1951). It's been a comfortable transition for the Farnham, England native, as she won the KPMG Women's Irish Open a few weeks ago before capping her amateur career with a T-3 finish at the Amund Evian Championship. She'll make her next start across the pond as well, at next week's AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. And though Woad had full LPGA status guaranteed through next season thanks to the LPGA's LEAP program, now she had a two-year winner's exemption and membership through 2027.
