Across 15 seasons, 227 tournaments and 682 rounds, the LET Access Series (LETAS) has witnessed some truly phenomenal performances.
With LET cards on the line and players striving to make their mark in professional golf, pressure is constant and drama is never far away on LETAS.
The Tour has become renowned for unforgettable playoff finishes, none more remarkable than Johanna Wrigley’s victory at the Larvik Ladies Open, where she defeated Spain’s Natalia Escuriola in a record-breaking fourteen-hole sudden-death playoff at Larvik Golf Club in Norway.
With 20 confirmed tournaments, increased prize funds and more members than ever before, 2026 promises to be the biggest and best season in LETAS history.
While every tournament is defined by exceptional play, here we look back into the archives at some standout performances that will live long in the memory.
1. ANNE VAN DAM’S RECORD-LOW ROUND
2026 is a major year for the Netherlands’ Anne van Dam, who will captain the PING Junior Solheim Cup and serve as vice-captain at Bernardus Golf for the Solheim.
Long before becoming a household name in women’s golf, Van Dam competed on the LET Access Series, using the Tour as a springboard to a career that has since delivered five victories on the LET.
Her most memorable LETAS performance came in Finland at the HLR Golf Academy Open, where she fired a sensational second-round 62 to take firm control of the tournament.
At the time, 62 was the lowest round ever recorded on LETAS, a record later matched by Germany’s Helen Briem at the Santander Golf Tour–Ávila.
Despite difficult weather conditions and multiple delays on the final day, Van Dam remained composed to secure the title. Following the event, she progressed to the LET with full or partial status and later returned to LETAS to claim a second victory at the Citizenguard LETAS Trophy.
2. EMMA WESTIN’S 11-SHOT VICTORY IN FINLAND (2014)
Sweden’s Emma Westin produced one of the most dominant performances in LETAS history at the 2014 HLR Golf Academy Open, winning by an astonishing 11 strokes.
A blistering opening-round 65 immediately set Westin apart from the field. She followed with a second-round 68 to extend her advantage to eight shots before closing with a composed final-round 69 – still the second-lowest score of the day.
The victory was Westin’s second of the season, and she would go on to complete a remarkable hat-trick of wins, adding the Mineks & Regnum Ladies Classic the following week.
The achievement was even more impressive given her struggles in previous seasons, having made just one cut across 2012 and 2013. Westin made history as the first player to win three LETAS tournaments in a single season and the first to claim back-to-back titles.
Unsurprisingly, she topped the Order of Merit and earned full playing rights on the Ladies European Tour that year.
3. CHIARA NOJA’S BREAKTHROUGH WIN IN PRAGUE
The 2022 LETAS season was defined by a captivating battle between Czech star Sara Kouskova and teenage sensation Chiara Noja.
At the AMUNDI Czech Ladies Challenge, Kouskova aimed to become the first player to successfully defend a LETAS title after winning the event as an amateur the year before. However, it was Noja who stole the spotlight.
The German rookie finished on 13-under-par, winning by nine strokes at Prague City Golf Club and moving to the top of the LETAS Order of Merit after just her third start of the season.
At 16 years and 81 days old, Noja became one of the youngest winners in LETAS history. She went on to finish second in the season rankings and, six months later, became the youngest professional winner on the Ladies European Tour after capturing the Aramco Team Series – Jeddah.
Her age record was later surpassed by 14-year-old amateur Louise Uma Landgraf, who became the youngest winner on any professional golf tour.
4. HELEN BRIEM’S FOUR-WIN SEASON (2024)
Germany’s Helen Briem delivered a season for the ages in 2024, becoming the first player in LETAS history to win four tournaments in a single year – three as an amateur and one as a professional.
Among many standout performances, one round in particular captured attention. At the Santander Golf Tour–Ávila, Briem fired a second-round 62 (-10), equalling the LETAS 18-hole scoring record.
During a remarkable stretch in June, she recorded rounds of 70 and 62 before producing another composed final round to secure the title in Spain.
It was also the first time a player had completed a hat-trick of consecutive LETAS victories, underlining Briem’s ability to perform under intense pressure and confirming her status as one of the Tour’s brightest rising stars.
