TAOYUAN, Taiwan — Canada’s Anna Huang is putting together a rookie season to remember on the Ladies European Tour (LET).
The 16-year-old from Vancouver has already claimed two titles this fall, winning the La Sella Open in Spain and the Lacoste Ladies Open de France to become a two-time LET champion.
“It’s been such a surprise and a really big shock to me,” Huang said ahead of this week’s event at Sunrise Golf & Country Club in Taoyuan. “I didn’t think I would win two times back-to-back, so it’s been crazy. It’s been such an exciting time and a big learning process.”
Despite skipping last week’s Hero Women’s Indian Open, Huang has a chance to make it three consecutive victories as she continues her strong run of form in her debut season.
“To win three in a row would be really cool,” she said. “I’m so grateful for two wins, but three would definitely be the cherry on top.”
Huang currently sits 10th on the LET Order of Merit with just three tournaments remaining in the 2025 season — an impressive achievement for one of the youngest players on tour.
The teenager, who has represented Canada in international competition through Golf Canada’s national team program, credits her family for keeping her grounded during a whirlwind year. Her father continues to serve as both her caddie and coach.
“Ever since I started playing, he’s been my caddie and also my coach,” said Huang. “He definitely knows my game the best. We sometimes argue a little bit here and there, but we work really well as a team. Being 16 and playing on tour can get pretty stressful, so having my family with me is great.”
Born and raised in Vancouver, Huang said European-style courses tend to suit her game.
“The courses over here are a bit different compared to Europe,” she said. “Growing up in Vancouver, I think European-style golf courses suit my game more — it’s a pretty similar climate — but we’ll see what happens this week. With the wind here, it’s all about staying patient and making smart decisions.”
Huang isn’t putting added pressure on herself heading into the season’s final stretch.
“It would be great to get another win, but I try not to think too far ahead,” she said. “I’m just taking one tournament at a time and seeing how things go. After winning in Spain and France, it’s given me a lot of confidence for the last events of the season, so I’m just really excited.”
Huang’s rapid rise adds to a growing wave of young Canadian talent making an impact on the global stage — a promising sign for the continued development of women’s golf in Canada.
