Lottie Woad Wins Kroger Queen City Championship for 2nd LPGA Tour Title
The 22-year-old English player finished at 12-under 268 for her second LPGA Tour win after a closing 69.
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, English golfer Lottie Woad won the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati, finishing at 12-under 268 and holding off runner-up Haeran Ryu at Maketewah Country Club on a gusty afternoon.
Entering the final round with a three-shot lead, Woad overcame a double bogey on the sixth hole. The former Florida State star birdied the 17th to pull away as Ryu suffered a late double bogey on the 13th.
"Obviously, very, very happy and grateful," Woad said of her second LPGA Tour victory. She hit 15 of 18 greens in regulation, demonstrating the accuracy that proved decisive in windy conditions.
Ryu finished at 10-under after her costly double bogey, while World No. 1 Nelly Korda surged to a tie for eighth with a 67. Jeeno Thitikul placed seventh at 6-under for the tournament.
This victory marks Woad's second professional title, following her debut win at the Women's Scottish Open last year. She turned professional in July 2025 after competing for the Florida State Seminoles.
