The 2025 season on the LET Access Series (LETAS) was defined by emerging talent. Three young sensations have captured Tour victories that signal a new generation is already on the rise, and they all come from the same country!
Let’s take a deeper look at the top three youngest winner’s this season on Tour.
- ALICE KONG (15 YEARS OLD)
Final day at the AMUNDI Czech Ladies Challenge was a fierce battle which culminated in a four-way playoff between three of the top LETAS players this season, England’s Gemma Clews, Austria’s Katharina Muehlbauer, Australia’s Justice Bosio and one outsider 15-year-old French amateur Alice Kong.
Yet it was Kong who won the war after she sunk a 13 foot putt for birdie to clinch an astonishing victory.
Kong’s season has only strengthened following her June triumph. The French amateur has climbed to 76th in the Women’s Amateur Golf Rankings and played a key role in Europe’s victorious Junior Vagliano Trophy team.
A few days ago Kong announced her verbal commitment to join the Women’s golf team at the University of Florida so it seems Kong will take the college pathway to professional golf potentially.
2. SARA BRENTCHENEFF (17 YEARS OLD)
After back-to-back runner-up finishes at her home LETAS tournament, the Terre Blanche Ladies Open, 17-year-old Sara Brentcheneff was finally rewarded with the win she deserved.
On a dramatic final day at the inaugural Super Bock Ladies Open at Vidago Palace, French amateur Brentcheneff secured her first victory on LETAS after carding a final round of 67(-5) to come from behind.
Brentcheneff’s winning moment was perhaps one of the most memorable. The event saw Brentcheneff sprinting back to scoring not quite believing that she pulled off her first professional victory after a couple years of disappointment.
Brentcheneff is currently 32nd on WAGR, a participant at this year’s Junior Ryder Cup and won the Vagliano Trophy alongside fellow LETAS winner and friend Alice Kong.
Despite initially wanting to turn professional after high school, Brenthcheneff is now commited to the University of Arkansas for spring 2026.
3. EMMA FALCHER (20 years old)
As one of the most hotly anticipated tournaments on the LETAS schedule, the Rose Ladies Open reliably brings heightened stakes and an elevated standard of competition.
Previous winners include Switzerland’s Chiara Tamburlini and Germany’s Helen Briem.
This year, held for the first time at Hanbury Manor, it was an underdog who took a decisive victory.
France’s Emma Falcher secured an impressive five shot maiden victory at the Rose Ladies Open after firing a final round of 69 (-3) to finish on 11-under-par after three days.
With her dad caddying for her across three days it was a heartfelt victory and the big break the young French talent needed.
Thanks to the win, Falcher finished 27th on the LETAS Order of Merit, earning herself an automatic spot at the LET Final Qualifying which commences on the 16th of December.
