Ladies European Tour: Anna Huang, 16, lands La Sella Open by a massive seven strokes – ‘I can’t believe I just won’ | Golf News


Teenager Anna Huang stormed to her maiden Ladies European Tour title at the La Sella Open winning by a massive seven strokes at La Sella Golf Resort.

The young Canadian had been in total control this week completing a wire-to-wire victory to win the tournament at the age of 16 years, 10 months and 22 days.

She produced rounds of 64-66-69-69 to become the youngest winner on the LET in 2025 and win with a total of 20 under par.

“Honestly, I’m really shocked right now! I can’t believe I just won,” said the rookie. “It’s really crazy. I was really focused on the present and the moment, so the scores weren’t really a distraction to me. I was really focused on hitting each shot to what I could do.

“Being in the final group showed me that I had to stick with the same game plan and not play too conservatively because what I was doing the past few days was working really well, so I kept that up.”

Huang finished in style with a birdie at the last to seal a final round of 69 (three under) and get her hands on her first trophy as a professional with her dad Alex by her side.

“It’s super special to have my dad on the bag. He has caddied for me ever since I started playing golf,” said Huang, who climbed from 50 up to 22 in the rankings. “Being able to win this at 16 is so insane. I never believed this would ever happen, but I’m so proud of myself. I love when people send me text messages, I’m really excited to reply to all of them.

“At the beginning of the season, I didn’t even have a full card so to win is absolutely insane. I remember I was a reserve for the Wistron Ladies Open and Aramco China Championship, but after this, I think I’m good.”

The LET ends this stretch of tournaments with next week’s Lacoste Ladies Open de France taking place at Golf Barriere from September 25-27.

Highlights from the fourth round of the FedEx Open de France at Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Breteche

Michael Kim produced late fireworks to claim his first worldwide victory in over seven years at the FedEx Open de France.

The American made back-to-back birdies at the 16th and 17th to move into the outright lead with one hole remaining before draining his clutch par putt from 16 feet to seal a one-shot win on 16 under par.

His late heroics denied early clubhouse leader and home favourite Jeong weon Ko the chance to contest a play-off after the French crowd had roared him to a closing 65.

Ko finished alongside Australia’s Elvis Smylie in a tie for second on 15 under, one clear of five-time major champion Brooks Koepka.

Kim made a total of six birdies in his spotless final-round 65 to clinch his first title since the 2018 John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour.

He said: “I’m just so happy and grateful that I was able to come out with the victory.

“I’ve had a really good year on the PGA Tour this year. This feels like the perfect cherry on top and I hope to continue this throughout my career.”
