English amateur Lottie Woad has become the first non-professional to win on the Ladies European Tour in three years as she claimed the title at the KPMG Women's Irish Open.
The 21-year-old, who is world No.1 in the amateur rankings, showcased her quality with a six-shot victory at Carton House, finishing on 21 under.
She became the first amateur to win on the women's tour since 2022, when Jana Melichova won the Czech Ladies Open.
Despite Woad's success, she is not tempted to turn professional as she closes in on an LPGA Tour membership.
"No, I'm not tempted to turn pro yet," she said on the Ladies European Tour website. "I'm still trying to get my final two points for the LPGA. I'm trying to get those and then we will see what happens after that."
Woad came into the final round with a seven-shot lead and fired five birdies and one bogey in a four-under-par 69.
Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom finished second on 15 under, one shot ahead of Amelia Garvey of New Zealand. England's Charley Hull was fourth on 12 under.
Four players were two shots further back with Australia's Kirsten Rudgeley, Fatima Fernandez Cano (Spain), Hannah Screen (England) and Chiara Tamburlini (Switzerland) all tied fifth on 10-under.
