England's Lottie Woad's arrival to the big time continued as she went wire-to-wire to win the ISPS Handa Scottish Women's Open at Dundonald Links, with Ireland's Leona Maguire finishing in a tie for 16th place.
The talented English star fired a final round of 68 to hold off South Korea's Hyo-Joo Kim for a three-shot win on her professional debut.
It's the 21-year-old's second victory this month following her KPMG Irish Women’s Open triumph at the start of July.
Kim had managed to reel in the English golfer midway through the back nine and tie the lead, but Woad kept her composure and finished the stronger down the closing straight.
Woad, who was tied for the lead on Thursday alongside Leona Maguire, shot four rounds in the 60s at Dundonald Links en route to victory.
With just three bogeys across the 72 holes, Woad was imperious throughout the week and will be aiming to knock off a first major title next week, following a top three finish at the Evian Championships a fortnight ago.
"It's a pretty good outcome, I guess," Woad said. "Definitely wasn't expecting to win my first event, but I knew I was playing well."

Meanwhile, Maguire battled to a final round of one-under, 71, helped by a fast start on the links.
Maguire carded birdies on the first and third holes, with a bogey on the 16th; to finish inside the top 20 on the leaderboard.
The Cavan golfer had to battle for the under-par round, only hitting six greens in regulation, but will be pleased with another strong finish ahead of next week’s final major of the year, the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.
World number one Nelly Korda failed to gain ground on the leaders in the final round and finished in sixth place.
