Canada’s rising star Anna Huang has written another chapter in her breakthrough season, capturing the Lacoste Ladies Open de France with a two-shot victory at Golf Barrière. The win marks her second consecutive triumph on the Ladies European Tour (LET), just a week after claiming the La Sella Open.
At only 16 years old, Huang carded a brilliant final-round 65 (-6) to finish at 16-under-par, becoming the first Canadian in LET history to record multiple victories and the third player in 2025 to win in back-to-back weeks, joining England’s Mimi Rhodes and Czechia’s Sara Kouskova.
“I’m honestly still in shock,” Huang admitted. “I hadn’t even processed my first win, and now to win again feels unbelievable. I’m so proud of myself—it’s something I never thought would happen. To have two wins in one year is just incredible, and I’m really grateful.”
A Composed Final Round
Starting the day with the lead, Huang wasted no time extending her advantage with birdies at the first and second holes. A bogey at the fourth was her only blemish, but she quickly rebounded with birdies at the fifth, eighth, and 10th.
Germany’s Helen Briem surged into contention with her own string of birdies, briefly pulling level and testing the teenager’s composure. But Huang closed in style, sinking birdies on 16 and 18 to seal her second LET crown.
“It was so much fun playing with Helen—we were trading shots all round,” Huang said. “We were tied until 16, so it got pretty nerve-wracking. Oddly enough, I didn’t feel nervous until my approach on 18, but then it hit me. I’m just glad I pulled it off.”
Looking ahead, Huang plans a rare break: “I’m going home and then to China to see family I haven’t seen in about 10 years. I might even treat myself to something nice. But my mindset stays the same—work hard, stay focused, and keep building on this momentum.”
