It was a win for the record books.
Canadian golfer Anna Huang, 17, became the youngest player to capture a fourth career win on the Ladies European Tour when she emerged victorious on Sunday at the Ladies European Tour's PIF London Championship.
The Vancouver native shot a 3-under 70 in the final round to finish 22 under for the tournament, two strokes better than three-time LPGA Tour tournament winner Charley Hull of England. Hull is sixth in the women's world golf rankings.
Huang sang a long eagle putt on the 18th to secure the victory.
“That was probably the most thrilling round of golf of my life, that was crazy. I have no words. I’m just so shocked,” said Huang, per the tour. “I knew coming down three tough holes was not easy and I tried to focus on each shot because anything can happen in golf and I stayed in my own lane.
Huang recorded her fourth victory at the age of 17 years, nine months and 10 days. New Zealand star Lydia Ko was at 18 years, four months and 20 days when she won her fourth event on tour.
“A year ago, I was at a really low point in my life and golf wasn’t really fun for me. I was dealing with all these thoughts, but with the help of my family and all my support I was able to get myself back together and push through that part,” Huang said.
Huang has two victories this season after also recording a pair last year in her first season after opting to turn pro instead of going the college route.
Huang entered the week ranked 57th in the world. She is now second on the Ladies European Tour's order of merit for 2026.
Huang earned US$259,905 for her latest victory.
The Canadian got a spot in four of the LPGA Tour's five majors this year. Her best finish was a tie for 22nd at the Evian Championship in France last month.
Huang has received an exemption for the LPGA's CPKC Women's Open, Aug. 20-23 in Edmonton.
She missed the cut at last year's Canadian LPGA stop in Mississauga, Ont.
Huang will be old enough to try to qualify for a 2027 LPGA Tour card later this year. The top 10 on the Ladies European Tour's order of merit at season's end will qualify for the final stage of the LPGA Qualifying Series.
