The disappointment was evident on Lottie Woad’s face as the No. 1 women’s amateur in the world walked off the 18th green Saturday afternoon, her dream of being the first to repeat as the winner of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur having come to an end.

Two rounds of the 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur are in the books, and it remains tight atop the leaderboard. Reigning champion Lottie Woad moved into a share of the lead Friday after posting a 2-under 70 at Champions Retreat Golf Club, pulling even with Kiara Romero, who posted 67-68 across the first two rounds to set the pair at 9 under.

Additionally, she finished runner-up to Adela Cernousek in the individual NCAA Division I women’s golf championship. She became the first woman from England to win the Mark H. McCormack Medal and, in the same breath, was awarded the Smyth Salver for being low medalist at the Women’s British Open.
