Nelly Korda Just Confirmed What We're All Thinking About Lottie Woad.

The world No.1 got a front row seat to Lottie Woad's skills at last week's Women's Scottish Open. The two were paired together for the first two days and Korda got to watch and observe the young rising star. "I was very impressed with her composure, her process," said Korda in her Tuesday presser ahead of the AIG Women's Open.

"I think, when it comes to her shot routine, especially under pressure and in the heat of the moment, sometimes people seem to fidget and kind of doubt themselves, but she stuck to it, she stuck to her process every single time, and I think that's one of the main things that I noticed is how mature she is for her age and how comfortable she was in the heat of the moment."

Woad looked cool under pressure, en route to her maiden LPGA win, which also happened to be her pro debut. And she's a clear and obvious favorite heading into the season's final major. Literally.

When asked about if she believes Woad has a real shot at contending, Korda responded, Of course. As I said, golf is a game of confidence, and she's definitely high up there right now, so she's going to be trusting everything.

Her putting is very solid, her game's solid, she hits it pretty far off the tee. She grew up in this kind of weather too, so I feel like she's kind of comfortable.

Her wins this year are professionally one's in Ireland, one's in Scotland, and obviously here. You can tell that she's kind of comfortable playing in kind of rough weather."

Woad will play alongside previous champions Lydia Ko and Lilia Vu for the first two rounds at Royal Porthcawl.
