Lottie Woad continues to impress at the Women's Scottish Open, maintaining a strong lead as she heads into the final round. The 21-year-old English golfer, who recently turned professional, carded a five-under-par 67 in the third round at Dundonald Links, keeping her two strokes ahead of the competition.

Woad, a former world number one amateur, has already made a significant impact in the golfing world. Her victory at the Irish Open as an amateur and her near-miss at the Evian Championship have set the stage for her professional career. Despite the pressure, Woad remains confident, drawing on her previous experiences to guide her through the tournament.

Key Highlights:

• Third Round Performance: Woad's third-round score of 67 included four birdies in her first 10 holes, briefly extending her lead to three shots. She finished the round at 17 under par.
• Competition: Woad leads by two strokes over Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Sei Young Kim, who both shot impressive 66s. Hyo Joo Kim is one stroke further back, while world number one Nelly Korda trails by five shots.
• Professional Debut: Woad's performance at the Scottish Open marks her professional debut on the Ladies European Tour, following in the footsteps of Shannon Tan, who won her debut event in 2024.

Woad's Perspective:

"I am excited for the opportunity and I've got the experience from leading in Ireland and other events that I've been in," Woad said. "I'm just going to try and use that - I'm feeling good."

Woad's journey from amateur to professional has been marked by consistent performance and a strong mental game. As she prepares for the final round, all eyes will be on this rising star in women's golf.
