English Amateur Lottie Woad Impresses at Chevron Championship, Just Three Strokes Behind Record-Chasing Nelly Korda

English amateur Lottie Woad is making waves at the Chevron Championship in Texas, just three strokes behind the record-chasing Nelly Korda after two rounds of play. Woad, who recently won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, continued her impressive form with a three-under performance on Friday, bringing her total score to four-under for the tournament.

Korda, on the other hand, is on a quest for her fifth straight victory and second major title of her career. The world No 1 had a rocky start with a double bogey but quickly recovered with multiple birdies to finish the day at seven under, leading the pack at Carlton Woods.

Woad, at just 20 years old, has shown great composure and skill on the course, drawing inspiration from her recent triumph at Augusta. She expressed her confidence and determination to continue performing well in the tournament, aiming to stay in contention for the title.

In addition to Woad and Korda, England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Georgia Hall are also in the mix, with solid performances putting them in contention for the weekend rounds. The tournament promises an exciting finish with a packed leaderboard and top players vying for the prestigious Chevron Championship title.
