Lottie Woad admits that it is another experience that is heading for the amateur amateur Augustus as a champion advocate, a year after his dramatic victory in the Masters House.
The Englishman returned from two behind with five holes to play to grab a remarkable victory in the 2024 competition, and three birdies in her last four holes saw her completion before Bailey Shoemaker.
Woad took advantage of the 15th Par-Fill and asked Par-Four 17. to pull out the level with the shoemaker, which set the clubhouse with Bogey without Bogey 66 before he burned it with a long putt on the last birdie and became the first European winner in the tournament history.

“It is definitely different compared to the previous year,” Woad said Sky Sports Golf Podcast. “I had many more media things and similar things I didn’t have to do last year, so just go around a little.

“I think last year I learned a lot about it because I wasn’t really exhibited. I assure myself that I leave time for everything I have to do to be ready for a week.
“It’s great to be back. That’s probably our favorite event of the year and it’s always so happy to play both courses. I feel good about my game and I’m excited to go.”
Asked how much she watched this victory changing career, Woad added: “Honestly, not so much, but I saw 18. Part quite a lot, I admit it!
“Obviously I didn’t think I would have the opportunity to play Augusta, let alone go through the putt to win the tournament there. There were so many people. Honestly, I can’t remember the moment it was possible, but I just know it was very loud!
“I think I’m coming from behind and I knew I wasn’t really out of it, he definitely gave me a lot of faith and confidence in my game.
Another big year in advance for Woad?
Woad’s Wight last year won its invitations to four out of five large companies, while Florida State University student published the Top-25 at the Chevron Championship a week after its victory before ending as a leader at AIG Women Open thanks to the TOP-10 in ST Andrews.
“I don’t really want to compare (last year) and I’m just trying to push,” Woad insisted. “Of course he was amazing last year and built me
“This year I got some great opportunities to play some iconic courses again, so I’m really looking forward to it. I’m already at the US Open and open this year, so I’m just looking forward to playing in other big companies.”
After last year’s victory, Woad said she was not in a hurry to change the professional, with the world female amateur No. 1 still adheres to this mentality to the high season.
“I don’t want to think about it right now,” she admitted. “I try to concentrate this week and then I have the rest of the college season with FSU.
“I’m just trying to concentrate on the presence and just play a good golf, because it will give me good.
