AUGUSTA, Ga. – Lottie Woad doesn’t like condiments. Give her a sandwich, preferably ham and cheese, with nothing on it. No sauce for her steak. She loves spaghetti but likes her pizza white.
“I can't convince her that the sauce in spaghetti is the same that's on a pizza,” said Florida State coach Amy Bond, who calls her star player “particular.”
“She knows what she wants,” said Bond, “and she's not afraid to tell you.”
That particular approach applies to the way the No. 1 player in the world goes about her business on the golf course. Bond calls her the hardest worker she’s ever coached. She’s used the same ball marker since the age of 12.
She’s funny, in a dry sort of way, and while she’s more comfortable speaking to the media than she was a year ago, it’s still not her favorite thing. The reserved Woad is interested in one thing: being the best. And, as Bond has said, she’s got the stomach for it.
“She's not afraid to take chances on the golf course,” said Bond, “she's aggressive, and she's not afraid of failure.”
