"Can’t expect to win it": Lottie Woad shares thoughts about her surreal win at the 2025 Women’s Scottish Open

Lottie Woad recently shared her thoughts after winning her first title as a professional golfer last week at the 2025 ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. The Briton shot an impressive 21-under par score of 267 at the Dundonald Links golf course in North Ayrshire, Scotland, to seal her maiden LPGA Tour victory.

The 21-year-old earned her professional status on the LPGA Tour after her T3 finish at the Amundi Evian Championship. Following her victory at the KPMG Women's Irish Open, the English golfer received her Ladies European Tour card. Load's win at the Scottish Open extended her brilliant run in the past few months.

During an interaction with Sky Sports Golf ahead of the AIG Open, Lottie Woad was asked about her surreal experience during the past three weeks. Expressing her thoughts about her form and expectations, Woad answered (0:23 onwards):

"I don't think you can expect to to go on a run like that, you know, especially your first pro event, you can't. I mean, I could hope to win it, but, you know, you can't expect to win it."

Woad also added that she expects to maintain her performance in the upcoming AIG Women's Open this week.

"But just trying to keep the momentum going really is the plan," she added.

The official page of Sky Sports Golf shared a video clip of the interview on X:

Lottie Woad is set to compete in her second Women's British Open this week at Royal Porthcawl Golf Course in Wales. Woad was awarded the Smyth Salver honor last year at the Old Course in St Andrews as she became the lowest scoring amateur with a 1-under par score of 287 to finish at T10. She also enters the final Major of the season as a top favourite with +600 odds of winning the title.
