Irving, Scotland – England’s Lottie Woad played bogey-free on Friday and used unusually calm conditions to release at the final 65, giving the British star two-time leads Nelly Korda and Nanna Koerstz Madsen in the Women’s Scottish Open.
WOAD is making her debut for professionally, which only means she was paid at the end of the week. She looked to be with the last few weeks when she won the Women’s Irish Open and then tied for third in the French LPGA Professional in the Evian Championships.
Corda took out 66 in her last two holes to be within two, hoping she would run in the right direction for her first win of the season. Koerstz Madsen also fired 66.
Woad played college golf at Florida State and spent two days in the largest crowd of Dundonald Links, 122 less at 132, taking part in the same group with Korda and Charley Hull of England.
WOAD’s end at the Evian Championship won her the LPGA card, prompting her to turn to a professional player. The Women’s Scottish Open is no different from her other July events. It’s all about trying to drive momentum.
She refuted her career by starting her career by taking a 36-hole lead in a 36-hole lead in the LPGA and the Ladies European Tour.
“I’m playing in seven majors now, so I have all the experience and obviously let the event,” Ward said. “So I guess it’s not really new. A little bit of knowing how to deal with it.”
In a Links course in the North of Royal Troon on the Ayrshire Coast, she missed only two greens in the final two rounds. It’s a strong field next week at the final year of the year at Royal Porthcawl in Wales, the Women’s British Open.
The biggest help is wind, or lack of wind. The breeze gave way to the calm state and WOAD ran out four birds to catch the control.
Korda, who won the victory after seven wins in 2024, made a lonely mistake with bogey on the par 5 of her turn. She handled the calm conditions of the first nine games to get into the final group.
“Obviously it’s not Scotland’s weather. It’s very soft, so I heard it’s not typical weather, and of course they usually play here,” Corda said. “But overall, when you get a good round, it’s always a step in the right direction. My main focus is this week. I’m trying to do what I can.”
Sei Young Kim had 67 shots, three shots behind, followed by Hyo Joo Kim (66), who had four shots.
