THE WOODLANDS, Tex. – Florida State All-American Lottie Woad finished in a tie for 23rd place in the final standings of the Chevron Championship with scores of 71-69-73-74 for a four-round total of 1 under par 287 to earn a top-25 finish in her first career LPGA major championship appearance. She finished as one of 29 players in the field with an under par score and as the second-lowest score among amateurs in the field.
"Playing in my first major was an amazing experience," said Woad shortly after Nelly Korda sink a birdie putt to win her fifth consecutive LPGA tournament championship. "I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about myself and my game."

She finished as one of 29 players in the field with an under par score and as the second-lowest score among amateurs in the field.
Woad closed her final round in her first major with three birdies – including her final one on her final hole of the tournament -- to finish with a 74 in the final round. Her final shot of the event gave her a birdie on the 18th hole (par 5) allowed her to finish play in her first major under par. Woad birdied the 18th hole three times in her four rounds during the championship.
Woad finished the tournament with 17 total birdies, including five each in the first and second rounds. Throughout her play in the 54-hole major, Woad played consistently wonderful golf with 57 of her 72 holes played at par or better (79 percent). She was never above par on her cumulative score for the entirety of the final three rounds and 54 holes following her birdie on hole No. 18 to close out her first round of play.
Woad returns Florida State for her final week of classes (April 22-26) and begins her final exams on April 29 with an American History exam.
Woad earned an exemption into the Chevron Championship as she won the prestigious Augusta National Amateur championship on April 6.
Woad will play with her Florida State teammates in the NCAA regional championships. The NCAA championship field will be announced on April 24 with play at six different regional sites taking place May 6-8. The Seminoles will make their school-record 18th consecutive NCAA regional championship appearance in 2024.
