Kong followed up two 10 10 finishes with her first victory on the LETAS circuit
French amateur Alice Kong, just 15 years old, claimed her first professional title with a dramatic birdie on the first playoff hole at the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge. She edged out professionals Katharina Muehlbauer (AUT), Gemma Clews (ENG), and Justice Bosio (AUS) after all four players finished at 1-under-par.
Kong, ranked 145th in the Women’s Amateur Golf Rankings, showed remarkable poise to sink a 13-foot putt for victory, citing her improved putting as the key. The win was extra special with her father and coach on the bag on Father’s Day.
This follows a breakout year for Kong, with two top-10 finishes on LETAS and a spot in the PING Junior Solheim Cup. She now heads to Sweden for the ANNIKA Invitational Europe.
Bosio, Clews, and Muehlbauer shared the top pro prize. Clews remains second in the LETAS Order of Merit, closing the gap to leader Amalie Leth-Nissen, while Muehlbauer climbs to third.
The LET Access Series now pauses before the PGA of Sweden Championship Landeryd starts on 28 June, co-sanctioned with the Ahlsell Nordic Golf Tour.
