World No 1 amateur Lottie Woad secured a maiden Ladies European Tour title after completing a dominant six-shot victory at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open.

The 21-year-old took a seven-shot lead into the final day at Carton House, having followed an opening-round 68 with back-to-back 67s, with Woad continuing to impress as she closed out a convincing win.

Woad birdied two of her first four holes on the final day and cancelled out a bogey at the par-four fifth by birdieing the eighth, seeing her reach the turn in 35, with the Englishwoman picking up another shot at the par-four 13th to pull further ahead.

She responded to bogeying the par-five 15th by birdieing the par-three next and firing her approach at the par-five 17th to tap-in range, moving her to 21 under, before a two-putt par at the par-four completed the victory that makes her the first amateur winner on the LET since 2022.

A four-under 69 saw her finish six ahead of Madelene Sagstrom, who takes the prize money for first place due to Woad’s amateur status, with New Zealand’s Amelia Harvey a further stroke back in third ahead of England’s Charley Hull.
