"I had just turned pro right before that one and then went off and played loads of events.

I didn't really get time to reflect on it."

"I don't know how many events I've played now, but a lot more events, playing each week, travelling each week.

Seeing the competition, seeing how good everyone is."

"I think to win again, to get the second one was more important for me."

Despite her high world ranking, Woad will compete in the Women's US Open as a professional for the first time, though she holds a strong track record in majors.

As an amateur, Woad tied for third at the Evian Championship last July, finished joint-eighth at the AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl, and tied for seventh at the Chevron.

The fast-paced nature of professional sports means Woad rarely dwells on her top-tier major tournament finishes.

"I kind of forgot," she smiled.

"They're so spread out, it's kind of hard to remember where you finished in the majors. But yeah, I've been playing pretty nicely in them."

"US Open, I'm assuming, is going to be set up tough like it always is. So Riviera, I've heard great things.

I'm just really excited to go see that course and, yeah, ready for the challenge that is US Open."

Woad is positioned as Britain's top prospect to mirror the historic national championship victories of Dame Laura Davies in 1987 and Alison Nicholas in 1997.
