Congratulations. Lahi Wde 21 wins Women’s Scottish Open in pro debut. Lahi Wde tapped in one final birdie, plucked the ball out of the cup, and gave a simple wave to the crowd as if she had done this before. The English star made it look easy Sunday when she won the Women’s Scottish Open in her professional debut. W never flinched when Hioju Kim made a charge on a windy day at Dundan Lynx closing with a 4under68 for a threeshot victory. W is the second player in three years to win on the LPGA tour in her pro debut following Rose Zang in the Missouo America’s Open at Liberty National in 2023. W finished at 21 under 267 and earned $300,000. I think it’s quite hard to do that but very special to win in my first event. W said everyone was chasing me today and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots. Kim had opened with four birdies in seven holes and when the South Korean added birdies on the 11th and 12th, she shared the lead with W. W was unflapable, making birdie on the 13th and 14th holes to regain control and dropping only one shot late in her round. She finished with a 3/4 wedge over a winding burn to 2 feet for birdie and a reserved celebration. Her victory is certain to get everyone’s attention in women’s golf. Was the number one amateur in the women’s ranking when she won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur last year with birdies on three of the last four holes. She said that was more pressure than she felt in her pro debut. I think Augusta that was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win. So definitely felt the pressure of it more there and I felt like all those experiences helped me with this. The only difference this week was getting paid for it. Along with winning the Women’s Irish Open, W tied for 31st in the US women’s open this year and tied for 10th in the Women’s British Open at St. Andrews last summer. She heads to Wales hopeful of keeping the momentum. It’s been pretty good. Yeah, I don’t really know how to describe it. Just been shooting low scores, which is always nice. The LPGA Tour now has had a different winner in all 19 tournaments this year. The longest stretch of no multiple winners in its 57-year history. We all appreciate her hard work to reach this level and winning the cup.
