Making the transition from amateur golf to the cut-and-thrust of the professional scene can often be a treacherous leap of faith that would make Evel Knievel slightly wary.

British star Lottie Woad is in position to win her first event as a professional, and the potential of her bright future caused the LPGA Tour and its television partners to change their coverage plans on Sunday for the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open.

England’s Lottie Woad produced the round of the week firing a bogey-free 65 (-7) on day two to lead by two strokes at the halfway stage of the 2025 ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open. The 21-year-old began the day in a share of second place at Dundonald Links and rolled in her first birdie on hole 14 before adding further birdies on 17 and 18.
