Overview

• Woad held a two-stroke lead into the final round and carded a 4-under 68 to finish 21-under par, defeating runner-up Hyo Joo Kim by three shots.
• She became the third woman—after Beverly Hanson and Rose Zhang—to win on her first LPGA Tour start and the first to triumph on her Ladies European Tour pro debut since Shannon Tan in 2024.
• With the victory, the 21-year-old collected a $300,000 winner’s share and secured full membership on both the LPGA and Ladies European Tours.
• Her rapid ascent follows a Women’s Irish Open victory as an amateur and a one-shot short finish at the Evian Championship that secured her LPGA card.
• Woad brings her dominant form to Royal Porthcawl this week as she prepares for her first major championship as a professional at the AIG Women’s Open.
