Lottie Woad Dominates KPMG Women`s Irish Open

Lottie Woad triumphs at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open, while Brendan Lawlor shines at the US Adaptive Open.

The KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Carton House, Fairmont in County Kildare, concluded with a stunning performance from English amateur Lottie Woad, who claimed victory by a remarkable six strokes. Woad`s commanding lead showcased her burgeoning talent, as she navigated the course with poise and precision, leaving competitors in her wake.

Canice Screene made headlines as well, delivering the best round of the week with a sensational seven-under 66 in the final round, underscoring the depth of talent present in this prestigious event. The tournament attracted a strong field and significant attention, with a purse of 450,000 euros, marking it as one of the largest prizes on the calendar.

Leona Maguire, Ireland’s top female golfer, aimed for a home victory but faced challenges with missed cuts and a drop in rankings. Nonetheless, she remains a pivotal figure in Irish golf, especially following her historic win at the Aramco Team Series in London last autumn.

Meanwhile, Irish amateur golfers are gearing up for the upcoming European Men’s, Women’s, Boys’, and Girls’ Team Championships, promising a competitive summer ahead. In other news, Brendan Lawlor, the sole Irish contestant at the US Adaptive Open, opened with a bogey-free four-under 68, positioning himself in a share of fourth overall. Lawlor leads the Short Stature Category by seven strokes over American Rick Reilly.

The Irish golf scene continues to flourish, with Rory McIlroy’s recent Grand Slam completion at Augusta and the Irish Men’s Amateur Championship at Seapoint, won by Stuart Grehan in a playoff, further elevating the sport`s profile in Ireland. The upcoming Open Championship at Royal Portrush from July 17 to 20 is set to break attendance records, with 278,000 spectators expected, marking a historic moment for Northern Ireland and the sport`s economy.
