Britain's Woad Ready to Take Women's Open by Storm
BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH, WALES, JUL 30 – Lottie Woad enters the 2025 Women’s British Open as the favourite after recent wins including the Scottish Open and Irish Open, despite being a new professional.
- On Thursday, the AIG Women’s British Open begins at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales, with Surrey-born Lottie Woad entering as tournament favourite in only her second professional event.
- Her rise followed her amateur win at the Irish Open by six strokes and a near-miss at the Evian Championship, before winning the Scottish Open in North Ayrshire last week.
- Woad carded a level-par 72 at Royal Porthcawl, with 10 pars, four birdies and four bogeys amid tough conditions, drawing loud cheers.
- Woad finds herself five shots off the lead after round one, with Rio Takeda and Eri Okayama sharing first at 5 under par.
- On August 1, round two begins with new tee groups, and the $9.75 million purse awards $1,462,500 to the champion among 144 competitors, including all top ten Rolex Women’s World Golf ranked players.
