34-year-old Ryan O'Toole (USA, photo) secured her first victory on the LPGA Tour. In the early hours of the 16th (Korean time), at the Pipe Dumbarnie Links in Scotland (par 72, 6,584 yards), she surged with an 8-under-par final round to claim a commanding 3-stroke victory (17-under-par 271) at the Trust Golf Scotland Women's Open (total prize money $1.5 million). This win came after an impressive 10 years and 228 events since she began competing in 2011. The winner's prize was $225,000 (2.63 billion KRW).

O'Toole started tied for the lead and collected eight birdies. She opened the scoring early with consecutive birdies on holes 1 and 2, followed by a birdie on the 4th hole (par 4) and 'stepping stone birdies' on the 7th and 9th holes to seize control. Her accuracy was outstanding, with a fairway hit rate of 92.86% and a greens in regulation rate of 100%, demonstrating precise striking. She added three more birdies on the back nine at holes 13, 15, and 17. "Something I've dreamed of since I was young has happened," she exclaimed. "Everything is really coming together well this year."

Lydia Ko (New Zealand) posted a 9-under-par daily best to share second place (14-under-par 274) with Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand), while Ariya Jutanugarn (Thailand) finished fourth (13-under-par 275). From Korea, Lee Jeong-eun6 (25, Daebang Construction) rallied with a 6-under-par finish to climb to a tie for seventh place (9-under-par 279). Kim A-lim (26) tied for 15th (7-under-par 281), Yang Hee-young (32) tied for 22nd (6-under-par 282), and Kang Hye-ji (30) remained tied for 37th (2-under-par 286).
