AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Lottie Woad watched the Augusta National Women's Amateur when it began in 2019, and she has watched the Masters even longer. To find herself in Butler Cabin on Saturday to join the long list of champions was surreal.
And how she got there was even more amazing.
Two shots behind with five holes to play, the 20-year-old from England delivered a charge that would hold its own against some of the greatest finishes at Augusta National. Woad birdied three of her last four holes for a 3-under 69 and a one-shot victory.
“I was hoping it was going to be like a nice stress-free day, but it was far from that,” Woad said. “In the end, it's a cooler way to finish.”
