English amateur Woad, 21, wins Women's Irish Open
English amateur Lottie Woad carded a four-under final-round 69 to claim her first Ladies European Tour title in dominant fashion with a six-shot victory at the Women's Irish Open.
But because Woad is an amateur, she will not receive any prize money, with the 67,500 euro (£58,000) winner's cheque going to Sweden's four-time Solheim Cup player Madelene Sagstrom, who finished second.
Woad, the world number one amateur, hit the front in windy conditions on Friday, extended her lead to seven strokes in Saturday's third round and made six birdies and two bogeys on Sunday to cruise home at Carton House.
The 21-year-old - who broke 70 in all four rounds - becomes the first non-professional to win on the Ladies European Tour since Czech player Jana Melichova at the 2022 Czech Ladies Open.
Woad, who won the 2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur title and finished tied 10th in last year's Women's Open, carded just three bogeys all week in a hugely impressive performance in County Kildare.
"It felt pretty comfortable overall," said Woad.
"There were a few moments at the start of the back nine that could've gone wrong but I hung in there and finished with some nice birdies.
"As soon as I birdied the second hole, holed a nice 12-footer there, it settled me in. I hit some good shots today, maybe didn't hole as many putts as the other days, but it was pretty stress free in the end."
Sagstrom, with a final round of 68, finished second with England's world number 19 Charley Hull (69) in fourth.
Anna Foster (72) was the leading Irish player in a share of 12th on eight under, while her countrywoman Canice Screene carded a bogey-free seven-under 66 - the joint-lowest round of the day - to finish inside the top 40.
Having established a comfortable 54-hole cushion, Woad picked up two birdies in her first four holes on Sunday before dropping a shot at the par-four fifth.
Surrey's Woad regained that shot with a birdie three at the eighth and picked up another at the 13th.
The Florida State University player dropped a shot at the par-five 15th, but bounced back with birdies on her next two holes, a four at the par-five 17th coming after she nearly holed her approach.
While Woad nearly produced a grandstand finish by holing a long birdie putt at the last, a par secured a winning score of 271.
"It definitely means a lot," added Woad, who will be in major action next week at the Evian Championship in France.
"Obviously I had a big lead coming into today, but I was able to focus. I was being chased by some really good players but happy to get it done."
England's Hannah Screen hit a 67 to share fifth place, but home favourite Leona Maguire closed with a disappointing 75 to finish in a tie for 48th.

Rookie pro Lorna McClymont signs for Scottish management company
By Martin Dempster - The ScotsmanWinning Curtis Cup team member joins posse of top Scots on Bounce Sport booksLorna McClymont will be making her second appearance as a professional as a new stablemate of both Bob MacIntyre and Louise Duncan after signing for Edinburgh-based Bounce Sport.
The Dumbarton woman, who joined the pro ranks after securing a category for the 2025 Ladies European Tour, has been unveiled as the company's newest client ahead of her appearance in this week's Standard Bank Ladies Open on the Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa.
In addition to Genesis Scottish Open champion MacIntyre and 2021 AIG Women's Open leading amateur Duncan, McClymont also joins Stephen Gallacher, Grant Forrest, Calum Hill, Marc Warren and Euan Walker in the Bounce Sport stable.
“I am very excited to be taking this next step in my golf career,” said McClymont, who made the cut on her debut in the paid ranks in the LET’s Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco earlier this month.
“I am really looking forward to competing on the Ladies European Tour and Access Tour. I think that now is the right time for me to test myself in the professional ranks, and I am ready for the challenge.”
Through committing to Bounce Sport, the Curtis Cup-winning GB&I team member from 2024 has secured the support of Callaway, as well as backing from Zenith Black, Arnold Clark, Kingsbarns Golf Links and Murray Sharp Foundation.
“Lorna is another very exciting talent in the Scottish women’s game, and her success as an amateur fits in superbly alongside all of the other players we work with,” said Iain Stoddart, Bounce Sport’s founding partner.
“As always, we are delighted to take up what we believe is a responsibility to help Lorna as she embarks on her professional career and to work with her as she looks to climb the ladder in world golf.”
McClymont is flying the Saltire in this week’s event at Durbanville Golf Club along with Duncan, Kylie Henry, Jane Turner and Laura Beveridge.

Leona Maguire leads Aramco Series at Centurion Club
Leona Maguire sits at the top of the leaderboard in both competitions at the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – London.
Team Maguire is in a share of first place on 14-under-par alongside Team Iturrioz and Team Hall at Centurion Club.
It was a day when Team Maguire, who are made up of the Solheim Cup winner, England’s Liz Young, Spain’s Marta Sanz Barrio and amateur Yana Wilson didn’t have a dropped shot on their team scorecard.
The quartet had a very steady day as they made the turn in seven-under-par and also had a back nine of seven-under-par to be tied at the top.
“We were all making a few birdies today which always helps and there were no dropped shots on the team card either which I think helps a lot in these conditions,” said Maguire.
“I think we had a nice atmosphere, a nice team. It was very comfortable out there and nice to roll in a few. It will be a bit of a quick turnaround, a long day. It will be a bite to eat then straight to bed and we’ll get out early in the morning again.”
Young explained: “I was playing quite well, it’s always nice to see the ball go in the hole a lot with Leona. That gave me some confidence to try and follow her on a few. Our amateur played really well too, so it was like having four pros. It was really nice, we gelled well.”
Sanz Barrio added: “I am very happy my team did all the job for me and hopefully, I can bring it in tomorrow and help us win tomorrow.”
