Nelly Korda is again in the running on the LPGA tour, while she headed for the second-row weekend at The Women’s Scottish Open.
However, she and the rest of the land pursue a sensational recruit Lottie Woad, who heads the event during his professional beginnings.
The English woman was her best Friday at Dundonald Links, carding a 65 in the second round without Bogey with seven birdies. With this performance, she improved a place in the standby ranking, when she published six birdies and a Bogey for a 67.
“Bogey-free is still nice,” said Woad, according to transcriptions of his interview after round. “You just have to hit a lot of greens, hit a lot of fairways, then reduce some beautiful putts. … I think my corners were quite good. Ditto that yesterday. I got down, I think most of the par-5 and I managed to be sneaked on them again.”

However, Times still has a lot to say about Woad’s intentions. The best player in the world is only two strokes after a 66 in the second round in which she carded seven birdies and a Bogey.
“I just struck him very well and I only missed four greens for two days, therefore, satisfied,” she said, according to the transcriptions of her post-round performance. “I hope I can continue with the right direction.”
