Confident, composed, comfortable: Open favorite Lottie Woad has everybody else on notice
Lottie Woad is unconcerned with her odds ahead of this week's AIG Women's Open – odds that, for the record, aren't just pretty good but better than anybody else in the field at Royal Porthcawl in Wales. At +750, Woad is the favorite, just ahead of the top two players in the world, Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul, who are each +900. No other player is better than +1600. 'I don't know how they do it, but I feel like I'm playing well, so I guess I was going to be one of the favorites,' Woad said Tuesday. 'Obviously, everyone's so good, so I feel like anyone can win really. You've seen it this year – I think every winner has been different, so there's many people it could be.' But only one player has won two of their past three tournaments. For Woad, it started earlier this month when she cruised to victory at the KPMG Women's Irish Open. She then contended at the Amundi Evian Championship in her final start as an amateur before settling for a share of third, a shot out of a playoff. And then last week, Woad took down Korda and other top names to win in her professional debut at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. With Woad already up to No. 24 in the world rankings, others are already taking notice. 'Absolutely amazing,' said Korda, who played alongside Woad for two days in Scotland. 'I was very impressed with her composure, her process. I think, when it comes to her shot routine, especially under pressure and in the heat of the moment, sometimes people seem to fidget and kind of doubt themselves, but she stuck to it, she stuck to her process every single time, and I think that's one of the main things that I noticed is how mature she is for her age and how comfortable she was in the heat of the moment.' Added Korda: 'Golf is a game of confidence, and she's definitely high up there right now, so she's going to be trusting everything. ... I think she's also riding a confidence high too with how well she's playing.' And Lydia Ko, who shares a management company with Woad, Excel Sports: 'I think there's a little bit more experience under her belt than what people probably give her credit for. But when I've seen the coverage or how she composes herself, she doesn't seem like she rushes into things or gets like overly emotional. I'm sure that's going to help her with that transition as well.' Confident, yet unassuming. Woad reckoned she'd use some of her winnings from last week to purchase her first car. The 21-year-old still doesn't have her license, though she'd planned to use Florida State head coach Amy Bond's car to take her driving test when she returned stateside. Surely, Woad will ace that, too. The moment just doesn't seem to get to her, even now. 'There's always pressure obviously,' Woad said, 'but I don't think there's any more than there was, like from my perspective, before any of the last few weeks.' That pressure is arguably on everybody else.

Lottie Woad made her professional debut on Sunday after being denied the opportunity to take prize money following two outstanding amateur performances earlier this month. England's Lottie Woad holds the trophy after winning the Women's Scottish Open at the Dundonald Links, Irvine, Scotland, Sunday July 27, 2025. (Steve Welsh/PA via AP)(AP) Women's Scottish Open: How much money did Lottie Woad receive? The 21-year-old Woad earned $300,000 for winning the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open by a margin of three strokes. Woad's win came just a few weeks after she had to relinquish the $79,000 winner's check after winning the KPMG Women's Irish Open, a Ladies European Tour tournament. She would have received $485,200 if she had tied for third place at the Amundi Evian Championship, one of the five LPGA majors. At her professional debut, Woad defeated Dundonald Links at Gailes by three strokes. This was her second victory in her past three starts.

Lottie Woad got her first LPGA win in her first professional start at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open — and her first paycheck. After not being able to collect from capturing the LET's KPMG Women's Irish Open a few weeks ago, nor from finishing T-3 at the Amundi Evian Championship, because she was an amateur, Woad was finally able to cash in. The newly minted pro earned $300,000 from her triumph at Dundonald. Here's a look at the full payout from the $2 million purse:

Who is Lottie Woad? English golf star wins maiden LPGA tour title on professional debut
Lottie Woad, a 21-year-old English golfer, announced her arrival on the professional stage with a remarkable three-shot victory at the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. In her professional debut, Woad clinched her maiden LPGA Tour title, finishing at 21 under par at Dundonald Links. Her commanding performance, capped by a final-round 68, makes her a rising star in women's golf. Hailing from England, Lottie Woad transitioned from a successful amateur career to the professional ranks soon. She built a strong foundation in amateur tournaments before turning pro. Earlier this month, she registered a win at the KPMG Women's Irish Open and a near-miss at the Amundi Evian Championship. Woad's debut victory at the Scottish Open places her among elite company as the third player to win their first start as an LPGA Tour member and the 12th Englishwoman to claim an LPGA Tour title. Lottie Woad entered the final round with a two-shot lead and faced a tough challenge from South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim, who briefly drew level with a string of birdies. However, Woad responded with birdies on the 13th and the par-five 14th, reclaiming her advantage. Despite a bogey on the 16th after finding thick rough, she displayed strategic brilliance on the par-five 18th. Opting to lay up, Woad executed a precise wedge shot to two feet, sealing the victory. Kim's matching 68 secured second place, while Spain's Julia Lopez Ramirez and Sei Young Kim tied for third at 14 under. 'Winning is a pretty good outcome, I guess!' Woad said. 'I definitely wasn't expecting to win my first event, but knew I was playing well. I was just hoping to contend and played really solid today,' she added. Lottie Woad's victory highlighted her adaptability, especially on links golf, which she hadn't played since the previous year's AIG Women's Open. 'I wasn't exactly sure how it would go, but it went fine!' she noted. Her performance outshone notable players like Nelly Korda, who finished fifth, and fellow English golfers Alice Hewson (tied-10th) and Charley Hull (tied-21st). Following her earlier successes, Woad's debut win highlights her consistency and potential.
