Nice write up for Lottie Woad.

Great golf from Lottie today again on a Sunday under pressure, bodes really really well for her Pro career.

However how about Grace Kim’s final 3 holes (including the payoff)?

Eagle at the final hole to get into the playoff, chip in birdie to stay in it and then, to cap it all, another eagle to win it.

Best last three holes ever to win a major?

Hope so...though given that over this last year especially she has experience of playing major pro (as well as important am) tournaments with the very significant pressure of trying to win LEAP points- its not as if her golf has been pressure free. And of course she has turned pro knowing that she can compete and indeed win at the very highest level of her sport. Few who turn pro have that absolute knowledge - they might hope but they don't know. Lottie does. But hey - who indeed knows the future.

And of course we are all very keen to learn what might now come for our future son-in-law in a working (coaching most likely) relationship with Lottie, for it sounds like that is where Lottie's thinking is at the moment. We'll see.

Can't blame her, just look at the amount of money she has missed out on over the last month.

Hope she gets plenty of sponsorship deals and makes a quick start to her career.

You'll find (and her coach touches on this in the interview) that as an amateur she wouldnt have been thinking she missed out on any money...because she didn't enter to win any money.

As an amateur she considered that she got her prize up front - that being the invitation to play, and so to build her experience of playing in pro competitions. And of course the opportunity to win LEAP points and so to get membership of the LPGA - wherein there lies £££££££s.

As an aside…because it’s what many ask…if she’d been pro and the last two years if she’d played and finished in the pro comps as she has done - she’d have won about £700,000. Thing is..if she had been a pro she would quite possibly have not been playing in these majors and the Irish - because she wouldn’t have had the invites, and may not have qualified for them.

A heads-up for any interested.

Lottie is playing in the Scottish Open starting tomorrow. Her tee time is 08:36 and other two in her three ball are Charley Hull and Nelly Korda. Now that will be a very popular group to watch both tomorrow and on Friday in the pm tee time they’ll get.

Wishing Lottie all the best of golfing luck in her pro baptism of fire.

I didn't get the chance to watch except the last two holes.
The lay up to the green on 17 was sublime and the long putt on 18 - so nearly dropped.
To finish 6 shots clear shows what a talent she is.
Good luck for her future!

Luke was her coach and caddie while she was an amateur, but am unaware of what she's thinking now she's pro.
Sure SILH will know more and be here soon to give us an update.

Dermot Byrne is caddying for Lottie at the Scottish…he has caddied for Shane Lowry some years ago, and Leona Maguire until fairly recently..before working with Molinari. I think he may also have caddied for her or a team mate in one Curtis Cup match - so she has met him before..

Lottie’s life-long coach, Luke Bone, is going to caddy for her in The Open at Royal Porthcawl end of this month. Lottie explained in an interview earlier this week how this has been agreed for some time so that when Luke appeared on her bag at the Open it wouldn’t look like she’d sacked Dermot after one comp 😊

If all goes well with Dermot Byrne this week, the Open will, most likely, be Luke’s swan song as caddy and Dermot will take over - perhaps for just the States at first (as that is where he is based I think) but maybe for across the world. Luke will remain as Lottie’s swing coach as coaching is where his passion lies…after all working with Lottie’s dad, other assistant pros and a couple of other dads, he has built the junior section and junior academy at the club to 150+. Thriving.
