Amateur Lottie Woad stormed to a six-shot victory at the 2025 KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Carton House, A Fairmont Hotel in Ireland.
The English star began with day leading by seven strokes after rounds of 68-67-67 on the first three days of action on the O’Meara Course.
A round of 69 (-4) was more than enough to seal a maiden Ladies European Tour (LET) title for the world number one amateur with a score of 21-under-par.
“It means a lot to get the win,” said Woad, who won the Augusta Women’s National Amateur in 2024.

This is the best part of W’s game with a wedge in a hand trying to cut this one in. Another birdie. Look, it just gets a little brighter. The rains disappeared. The sun’s trying to peep through and [Music] [Music] look good for a long time there. For those that haven’t seen Lotty W actually if you’re 19 under three through three three and a half days you’re you’re a very good golfer but what would you say her biggest strengths are now to carry the bunkers on the right hand side W has got 223 yds plus 10 this hole was playing straight back into a stiff wind all week but it’s not there now we’ll fight it over those bunkers Nice. [Applause] The rough is quite thick in places. And for the bunker, it’s a minimum carry of 110 yards. And that’s the place you can’t be. very sensible and sensible is what’s required in this position. Fairway cambers from left to right. That might have gone in the sand down the right hand side. Must avoid the lip. Okay, shouldn’t be a problem there. Might be more like chip it halfway and let it roll out now. Really nicely played. [Applause] wonderful. Just absolutely nailed it. Lovely chip shot. Perfect weight. Middle of the hole. Let’s move to the next with a seven shot lead. 260 carries everything. Setting up for a draw here. [Music] She needs two more points. Yeah. So, there’s what’s called the So, well, you can talk us through this chip. Feel like you’d be more experienced in it than us. Yeah. It’s a It’s actually You’ve got to hit it a bit harder than you think to get it up there, but it looks visually that you’re going to hit it and it can all roll off the green, but actually you’ve got more room than you think. Very nice. What do you make of this? You know, you you’ve not long been a professional. You’re new onto the ladies European tour and you see someone got an invite into this as an amateur and I played here. Um, so it was actually very nice. Yeah, birdie. There’s another Lotty Wo Birdie. Another in what’s been a a week of a bundle of them for her. Doing just as well. But yeah, she’s been fantastic in such dominant performance this week. [Music] Well, I was going to say the only thing that’s really been missing from the scorecard this week’s been a hole in one from her. She seems to have reduced everything else for yet another birdie in this sensational week. I’ve got a dab Nick watching here this week. Another 20 yards over it. sensible play. Not flirting at all with the just wander this one down. There’s no need for any history on it, excitement or guns blazing. It’s hard one to read. This goes back up the hill to the left to right. Wow. As you said, it was a tricky one to read and it is a missed putt. A rare. So, bogey six, but the lead is six. Time to panic. [Music] She’s back. She wasn’t away for long. [Music] Normal service is resumed. W back amongst the birdies. Six shots the lead. Two holes to play and history beckons for the 21-year-old from England. than it was half an hour ago. [Applause] Every question mark, everyone has been answered. I’m also laying up to carry those bunkers in front shouldn’t be an issue. They’re 100 short of the green. Well, another layup at a par five where she hasn’t found the fairway as is W 55 front, 65 pin. She’s showing off now. Monty W stands on the 72nd hole of this championship with a sixshot lead. Yeah. Okay. So, at least it’s by the second tree, which means that she might have to flight one down, but she’s looking at landing it short of that from this light. Chase one from that front edge. [Applause] She’s done really well. We’re talking about the week. She’s done exceptional. [Music] [Music] Well, the the week nearly got the finale it deserved there. The wonder of W. [Applause] A standout performance from the world number one amateur. The first professional win of many you feel and it is surely going to be a huge career. They just could not catch Lotty. She blew them away this week in Ireland. Dominance from start to finish by Lotty W. We’re not just looking at the future of women’s golf. We’re looking at the present now. Lotty W has arrived. She’s heading to a major next week and she will be amongst the contenders. She’ll be amongst the favorites after this. Dad Nick there with a little word of congratulations.
