Lottie Woad Clinches Queen City Championship for Second LPGA Title

The victory followed storm delays, ending Nelly Korda's push for a third straight win.

Overview

  • Lottie Woad closed Sunday with a 1-under 69 at Maketewah Country Club in Cincinnati to finish 12-under 268 and win by two strokes.
  • Haeran Ryu carded a 67 to take second at 10 under, and Miyu Yamashita surged with a 64 to finish third at 9 under.
  • Woad’s three-shot 54-hole lead briefly vanished after a double bogey on the sixth before a 20-foot birdie on 17 put the title out of reach.
  • Third-round play was halted at 8:50 a.m. EDT on Saturday because of dangerous weather, which softened the course and helped produce lower weekend scores.
  • World No. 1 Nelly Korda shot 67 to finish tied for eighth at 5 under, and Woad earned $300,000 from a $2 million purse.
