English prodigy dominates Women's Irish Open - but does not win any money
English prodigy Lottie Woad showcased her immense potential by running out a six-shot winner of the KPMG Women's Irish Open. But as with Shane Lowry's 2009 triumph at the Irish Open, Woad did not pocket a single cent for her victory. Instead the winner's cheque of €67,500 went to Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom, who finished in second place. This is because amateurs are not eligible to receive prize money in professional tournaments. Nevertheless Woad, world number one in the amateur rankings, emphatically showed at Carton House why she is being tipped for big things in the game She became the first amateur to win on the women's tour since 2022, when Jana Melichova won the Czech Ladies Open. Despite Woad's success, she is not tempted to turn professional as she closes in on an LPGA Tour membership. 'No, I'm not tempted to turn pro yet,' she said on the Ladies European Tour website. 'I'm still trying to get my final two points for the LPGA. I'm trying to get those and then we will see what happens after that. 'It means a lot to get the win. 'Obviously, I had a big lead coming into today, but I still had to really focus as I was being chased by some really good players. I'm happy to get it done. It's perfect. 'I feel like I'm playing well, and I hope to continue that into Evian next week.' Woad came into the final round with a seven-shot lead and fired five birdies and one bogey in a four-under-par 69. Sagstrom finished second on 15 under, one shot ahead of Amelia Garvey from New Zealand, with Charley Hull fourth on 12 under. Elm Park's Anna Foster finished the best of the Irish contingent, firing rounds of 71, 74, 67 and 72 to end up eight-under-par and in a tie for 12th place.

Amateur Lottie Woad wins professional tournament at 2025 KPMG Women's Irish Open
The top-ranked amateur in the world rankings pulled off a runaway, six-shot victory at the KPMG Women's Irish Open on Sunday. Lottie Woad won her first Ladies European Tour title at Carton House in Kildare, Ireland, after shooting 68-67-67-69. She led by as many as seven shots Sunday. Woad, 21, was the low amateur at the U.S. Women's Open after finishing 10th earlier this season and because she is still an amateur, runner-up Madelene Sagstrom took home the first-place money. Amelia Harvey was third, eight back of Woad, while Charley Hull finished fourth. "It felt pretty comfortable overall," said Woad. "There were a few moments at the start of the back nine that could've gone wrong but I hung in there and finished with some nice birdies. As soon as I birdied the second hole, holed a nice 12-footer there, it settled me in." Woad is the first non-pro to win on the LET since 2022 when Jana Melichova won the Czech Ladies Open. Woad is in the next LPGA major, the Amundi Evian Championship, which starts Thursday.
