Top Endorsement for Woad

World No. 1 Korda hails her amazing game as Ko praises her cool composure

- 

LONDON - Lottie Woad's meteoric rise to golf stardom has impressed many of her fellow competitors, including world No. 1 Nelly Korda.

The two were paired together at last week's Women's Scottish Open, which Woad won by three strokes on her professional debut.

The world's top-ranked amateur just two weeks ago, Woad already has shot up to No. 24 in the world rankings.

Korda was asked about Woad's game, which she called "absolutely amazing".

"I was very impressed with her composure, her process," she said on July 29 ahead of this week's Women's British Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.

"When it comes to her shot routine, especially under pressure and in the heat of the moment, sometimes people seem to fidget and doubt themselves. But she stuck to it, stuck to her process every single time.

"I think that's one of the main things that I noticed is how mature she is for her age and how comfortable she was in the heat of the moment."
