Lottie Woad Eyes Historic Amateur Victory at Evian Championship

English amateur Lottie Woad leads the Evian Championship, aiming to become the first amateur to win a major in 58 years.

Lottie Woad, a 21-year-old English amateur golfer, has set the clubhouse lead in the final round of the Evian Championship, putting her in contention to make golf history. Woad, who recently won the Irish Open by six shots, posted a stunning seven-under 64 to finish at 13 under par. Despite missing a 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole, her performance has been nothing short of sensational.

Woad, a member of the England Golf women's squad, started the final round tied for 19th and five shots behind the overnight leader, compatriot Cara Gainer. She is now bidding to become the first amateur to win a major since Catherine Lacoste claimed the US Women's Open title in 1967.

As Woad waits nervously, several top players are still in the mix. Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand, known as Jeeno, is yet to win a major but is a strong contender. Australian golfers Minjee Lee, a three-time major winner, and Grace Kim, who is yet to finish in the top-10 of a major, are also in the running.

The Evian Championship leaderboard is tightly packed, and the final holes promise to be thrilling. Woad's performance has already made headlines, and if she clinches the title, it will be a historic moment for amateur golf.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting tournament.
