Lottie Woad, making pro debut, leads LPGA's Scottish Open by 2 with Nelly Korda in second
Lottie Woad's pro career is off to a cracking start as the Englishwoman leads by two at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. Woad played alongside Nelly Korda and compatriot Charley Hull in the first two rounds and will spend Saturday with World No. 1 Korda as well. Woad's bogey-free 7-under 65 puts her at 12 under for the tournament. Korda and Nanna Koerstz-Madsen, who both shot 66 on Friday, are knotted at 10 under at Dundonald Links. "The first nine was a little bit more windy and the back nine calmed down a bit which was nice; could really attack some of the pins," said Woad, who has made only one bogey in her first 36 holes. It's been a remarkable stretch for Woad, who became the first LPGA player to graduate from the LEAP program and earn her card. Immediately after winning the Irish Open on the LET, she missed out on a playoff at the Amundi Evian Championship by one shot. Woad turned pro last week, forgoing her final season at Florida State. "I'm sure there's quite a bit of pressure on her shoulders but hopefully she's surrounding herself with some good people," said another former top-ranked amateur, Leona Maguire. "You saw with Rose Zhang a couple years ago, she got off to a very hot start, too. There will be a lot of new things for her the next few weeks and months but I'm sure she's well able to handle it." Zhang, of course, won in her professional debut at the 2023 Mizuho Americas Open to earn her LPGA card. Meanwhile, after winning seven times in 2024, Korda has yet to win this season. "I started out strong with two birdies on my first two holes," said Korda, who is making her Scottish Open debut, "Then the wind kind of died down throughout the day, so capitalized on the weather." Recent Evian winner Grace Kim was among those who missed the cut with rounds of 73 and 76. After an opening 66 gave Charlotte Laffar a share of the lead, the Englishwoman missed the cut after a second-round 82. Laffar, 32, returned to the LET in May after taking four years off to have her sons, Freddie and Oscar. She had her husband, David, on the bag.

Still Not 100% Charley Hull Admits 'Scary' Collapse at Evian Impacting Play
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Women's Scottish Open has already begun, but Charley Hull is still battling with her health issues. Just two weeks after collapsing twice during the opening round of the Amundi Evian Championship, Hull returned this week to compete at the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open. But the 29-year-old English pro admits she's still not back to full strength, and the lingering effects of that "scary" collapse are still impacting her play. LPGA's Charley Hull details her 'scary' collapse at Evian Last month, Hull was forced to withdraw from the Evian Championship after fainting twice in quick succession at the course. She was 1-under through 12 holes when her body gave out.

(Photo by) More Getty Images "I felt really dizzy (at 12th), and I was in the bunker hitting a fairway shot, and I had to sit down for a minute because my eyesight went and my hearing went, and I don't know if anyone has ever fainted before. But your eyesight goes and then your hearing goes, and then it goes all muffled," the World No. 19 recalled during her pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday at Dundonald Links. "So I sat down, got up, hit my bunker shot, actually nearly made birdie. Walked to the next tee, called the medics, and then before I hit my tee shot, my eyesight went again, my hearing went, and then my knees gave away and I, like, collapsed and fainted." The 29-year-old, known for her never-give-up spirit, tried to continue and even hit her tee shot on the next hole, but collapsed again just 20 yards off the tee box. "My caddie said my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I was out for over a minute," she said, per the transcripts, "The security guard and the medic caught me just before I was about to hit my head on a concrete slab. So I was out for a minute." But every time Hull stood up, she fainted. Later, the LPGA pro was stretchered off the course and placed on an IV drip. Her blood pressure reportedly had dropped to 80/50, and her blood sugar was measured at just 0.4.

(Photo) More Getty Images "I think I just had a really bad virus," Hull shared with reporters on Wednesday. "It was scary, but it was weird. ... When I woke up from fainting, I felt like I'd come out of a really nice deep sleep. Like, I felt really nice. I was like, oh, this feels good." The next second, Hull accepted having another oh, Jesus! moment, this one, in utter shock. "I see birds above me and about 15 people around me and I was like, where the (expletive) am I? Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to swear. Sorry," she was quoted as saying. "But yeah, that's what I see when it happened." Amid the collapse, Hull's agent, Vicky, even asked LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler if she could finish her round later that day. "Obviously you can't, but I was gutted, I just had no energy since then, really," she shared with reporters during the same conference. Charley Hull gives health update at Women's Scottish Open Now Hull is back in action at the Scottish Open. But she "still (doesn't) feel a 100 percent," and "like, 80 percent" on the way to full recovery, per the transcripts. The two-time LPGA winner further revealed putting a few holes on Tuesday, but told reporters she "was too tired." She's been skipping gym sessions (one of her major hobbies) for at least two more weeks and pacing herself on the course. "Probably won't see me strolling 30 yards ahead of everyone like I usually do," she came clean about her forthcoming game at Dundonald Links before teeing off. "Probably be 30 yards behind everyone, but I'll get it done." Hull teed off Round 1 at 8:36 a.m. ET alongside World No. 1 Nelly Korda and Brit Lottie Woad. The Women's Scottish Open marks her 11th LPGA start of the season, and if she makes the cut, it would make a total of nine successful cuts made.
