Lottie Woad of England played bogey-free Friday and took advantage of unusually calm conditions toward the end to post a 7-under 65, giving the English star a two-shot lead over top-ranked Nelly Korda and Nanna Koerstz Madsen in the Women’s Scottish Open.

This will be Nelly’s first appearance at Dundonald Links so watching her navigate her way around it will be quite fun given her mental prowess in the game. Korda has yet to win on the season, finishing runner up at Erin Hills is her best finish so far,

Nelly Korda, currently ranked number one among the world’s top women golfers, is making her debut at the Women’s Scottish Open this weekend. An Olympic Gold Medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Games, Korda first reached the top of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings in 2021, and has continued to hold it since March 2024.

Nelly Korda is back in action on the LPGA Tour after a week off in the Czech Republic. However, she revealed that it wasn’t a typical break from golf, as she continued to practice during her time off.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda isn't particularly interested about an eventual Women's Masters. In her opinion, there are other things the LPGA should focus on.
