Women's Golf

It's the Open Championship starting tomorrow at Royal Porthcawl.
Bookies favourite? Lottie Woad who has only just turned pro and already won the Scottish Open in her first event as a pro.

I am intrigued by this story and will be keeping an eye on it.

Well Lottie Woad made the cut at least to make the weekend.
She was in a decent position at -5 late in round two but then suffered a triple bogey and dropped 9 shots off the lead held by Miyu Yamashita of Japan.

Woad hit a 71 to lie 6 shots back after round 3. The lead is still held by Yamashita but now only by 1 stroke at -9 after a round of 74. Best placed Brit is Charley Hull who produced a superb 66 to move into contention at only 3 shots back at -6. Former champion Georgia Hall is five back at -4.

If Woad can get a top 10 finish, I think that will still be a good result, all things considered.

Yamashita held on to win by two shots despite a noble effort from Charley Hull who tried her utmost to pull back the deficit only to fall slightly short in second place. Lottie Woad finished a very creditable joint 8th.
