Overview

  • Woad shot a 21-under par total at Carton House’s O’Meara Course to claim the KPMG Women’s Irish Open by six strokes.
  • As an amateur she could not accept the €67,500 winner’s share, which was instead awarded to runner-up Madelene Sagstrom.
  • Her victory makes her the first non-professional to win on the Ladies European Tour since 2022 and grants her full LET membership.
  • The world No. 1 amateur needs two more points for LPGA Tour membership and will seek them at next week’s Evian Championship.
  • At 21, Woad balances her Sports Management studies at Florida State University with elite competition as she plans her professional future.
