Final-round leaderboard for the women’s Scottish Open
-21 Woad (Eng), -18 H-J Kim (Kor), -14 S-Y Kim (Kor), Lopez (Spa), -13 Korda (USA), -11 Madsen (Den), -10 Reto (SA).
Selected others:-8 Hewson (Eng), -6 Maguire (Ire), -5 Hull (Eng), -4 Hall (Eng), -1 Harry (Wal), E Fuller (Eng), + 7 Williams (Wal), Dryburgh (Sco).
Lottie Woad, England’s Lottie Woad, won the Women’s Scottish Open with a final-round score of 68, sealing her second tour victory.
The 21-year-old held her composure to keep the chasing pack at bay as she entered the final round with a two-shot lead over South Korea’s Sei Young Kim.
Woad finished the tournament at 21 under, three shots clear of closest challenger Hyo Joo Kim, who had just made her third of 72 holes around Dundonald Links.
The former world number one amateur finished in style with a birdie after taking a wedge to tap-in range and held a two-shot lead going down the par-five 18th.
Woad understatedly said, “It’s a pretty good outcome.” “I was playing well and hoping to win,” I said unwaveringly.
“I don’t see many scoreboards out there, but I was aware that it was probably very close at one point.”
“It’s great. Links golf was a lot of fun and went well. I was hoping I wouldn’t mess things up because my dad had been here all week and my mom had finished getting the train last night.
Woad, who first won the Irish Open as an amateur, turned professional last week after skipping a whopping $400,000 in prize money by finishing one shot short of Grace Kim’s play-off at the women’s fourth major of the year.
She will now enter the Scottish West Coast’s Women’s Open next week as one of the favorites, earning £220, 000 in prize money for winning.

One of the well-known faces who was battling this year’s Celebrity SAS opens up about the “liar” scandal and how being labeled a “liar” has made her develop a thick skin.

Rebecca Loos faces a grilling on Celebrity SAS about her affair with David Beckham – and she dubbed him a “coward” for the way he brushed what happened under the carpet on his Netflix documentary.
Loos was Beckham’s personal assistant in 2003 and claims broke the following year about them having a four month fling. Beckham said reports of the affair were “ludicrous” at the time but never mounted a legal challenge to the story or any subsequent interviews. Loos went on to appear on reality shows like The Farm and Celebrity Love Island before stepping out of the limelight and is now a yoga teacher in Norway.

On her TV comeback on Channel 4 this week, Rebecca said: “I just wanted to show people who I am and just be myself, which has always been my thing. And I just went in it with a very open mind and take it as it comes.
I was concerned about how other people would perceive me. Because editing the show is always something you have no control over, I was worried and unsure about how it would be handled. However, I must say the production team on this show have been absolutely amazing from day one, they have been truthful, they have stuck to their word.
“It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell and his(Becks) life kept going and kept blossoming. I’ve been accused of being a liar. I’ve had a lifetime of opinions around me, I’ve definitely developed thick skin. I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I’m gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which it’s a double-edged sword.
“You’ve got the online trolls but I don’t think that many people, at least the younger generation, know me that well. I’ve never really been very interested in what people think of me to be honest. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t think about it. I don’t know what the perception is of me. I don’t really care. I’m just myself, and some like it and some don’t. And that’s just how life is.”
Like all the recruits, Rebecca faced a grilling in the show’s Mirror Room. Jason Fox and Chris Oliver questioned her motives for being on the show before asking how she felt about her affair with Beckham now she’s had the time to reflect on it.

On his Netflix 2023 doc Beckham didn’t name Rebecca and failed to take any accountability. He just said: “I don’t know how we got through it in all honesty,” on a tricky time when he lived in Madrid.
When asked what Beckham thought of the way things turned out on the Channel 4 show, she responded, “I was very cautious at first. It’s not something I want to talk about all the time, so I made an effort to be cautious. But at the same time I also wanted to be honest with them, so they were really good at getting through to me.
“They’re obviously professionals at this. I don’t shy away from what I’ve been through, and I don’t shy away from the decisions that I’ve made. They have shaped me into who I am, and I’ve really learnt a lot from the mistakes that I’ve made in my life and the things that I’ve done. And I really do think that being truthful is the only way to go in life. I’ll stand by that forever.
” It takes a lot of courage to tell the truth and to own up to mistakes that you have made, mistakes and times in your life you’re not proud of. And it’s so simple to just sweep them all over the place. That’s similar to how cowardly people live, in my opinion.
Asked if the SAS experience changes her, she said:” I very much like how they instil in you that even though you want to give up, you don’t. And it’s simpler to leave with the simple option, but you have to persevere and push hard. They a little bit gritted me. They really inspired me. I had some life changes when I left the show, which I believe SAS has been for.

“I quit alcohol. That was the first thing I did. I wasn’t a big drinker, but I was a social drinker and I noticed that it wasn’t good for me and my hormones and what I was going through, and it was having quite a negative effect on me, mentally. So I just decided to cut that out and I started lifting heavy weights. I wanted to get strong. I know it’s really good for my bones, it’s very good for women.
“I was in perimenopause last year. And I’ve also started taking HRT. I’ve just started doing things to make sure that I live a healthy and strong life, that I age feeling strong, that I’m able to put a weight on my back and run up a mountain if I have to. So yeah, it was a bit of a kick in the arse to test myself a little bit again. I think in the years prior to SAS, I went through a lot as a mother as well because I had a youngest son who was struggling a lot.”
After surviving the SAS course, Rebecca has come to terms with her age and learned that now that she is a mother, she is more risk averse: “I used to be a risk-taker when I was younger, an absolute risk-taker. I used to love it. I enjoyed it immensely. There is currently no way. Motherhood has softened me. We change as we age, grow, and mature. I won’t defend all the women, but at least I’ve gotten a little softer and more cautious.
“And that’s probably due to the fact that I hardly have any hormones left in my body. I’m in a different phase. That was a little wake-up call in some ways. But realising and accepting that is very empowering and it’s very positive and it’s not a negative thing at all. I enjoy being completely aware of both what I’m going through and who I am.
Rebecca’s life today is a far cry from the media frenzy that exploded around her during the Beckham scandal in 2004. Now living a quiet, picture-perfect life for the last 14 years in Norway with her husband of 13 years, Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who she met whilst filming the reality programme, 71 Graden Noord, she is also mother to two sons, Magnus, 16, and Liam,13.

The family lives in a remote part of Buskerud county, which requires three hours to travel to the nearest airport. Working as a yoga teacher and massage therapist, she revealed previously that she quit the UK for a “very different” life, to raise her “little Vikings”,
She has said of her life in Norway. ‘It’s not like England here, it’s much less judgmental. I used to get people coming up to me in Waitrose, right in my face, taking pictures of me with their mobiles”
Rebecca has also revealed how openly honest she is with her sons about their past, including how much attention has been paid to her alleged relationship with Beckham, which he has always denied.
They are aware, she said in 2023. And so I said – and I feel that it’s very unfair because of the way I’m being treated now and the bullying I’m getting and the trolling. And I want to make a comment. And I’m going to conduct an interview, so let us know how you feel about media exposure.
“And so my youngest son said, oh, good. He resembles me a little more. He says, “Good for you, Mummy.” Yes, I would say something to him. And my eldest son, who he said, said Beckham is a mystery to him. It doesn’t seem to be Messi, Mummy. I mean, had it been Messi… ‘
Starting on August 3rd, Channel 4 will start broadcasting or live streaming of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins every Sunday and Monday at 9pm.
