Woad became just the third player in LPGA history to win on her first start as a Tour member and only the 12th Englishwoman to win on the LPGA Tour.

CBS reporter Amanda Balionis acknowledged Woad’s performance with a post on her Instagram story. She reposted an LPGA Tour graphic announcing the champion and simply captioned it:
