Lottie Woad's Remarkable Performance at the Scottish Open

Lottie Woad continued her impressive professional debut at the Women's Scottish Open, shooting a second-round 65 to take a two-shot lead. The 21-year-old Englishwoman outscored her playing partner, world number one Nelly Korda, who is tied for second with Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen.

Key Highlights from the Second Round

• Woad's Birdie Streak: Starting at the 10th hole at Dundonald Links, Woad made her first birdie on the 15th hole. She added two more before a remarkable run of four birdies in seven holes from the third hole.
• Consistency: Woad reached 12 under par with just one bogey in 36 holes, demonstrating her consistency and composure under pressure.
• Other Notable Performances: Scotland's Gemma Dryburgh shot a superb 67 to make the cut after a disappointing 78 on the opening day. England's Georgia Hall is four under for the tournament.

Woad's Recent Success

Woad, who won the Irish Open earlier this month, announced her decision to turn professional last week after missing out on £400,000 in prize money at the Evian Championship, the fourth women's major of the year. The former world number one amateur finished just a shot outside the play-off won by Grace Kim at that event.

Looking Ahead

With her current form, Woad is a strong contender for the Scottish Open title. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if she can maintain her lead and secure her second professional victory.
