The 17-year-old Canadian carded six birdies and one eagle on Royal Golf Dar Es Salam’s Blue Course to pip overnight leader Kelsey Bennett to the title by one shot on 14-under par.

Huang’s victory follows an impressive few weeks after she qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open a fortnight ago and finished T3 at at the Amundi German Masters last week.

The win is Huang’s third on the LET in just eight months after she won back-to-back titles in September at the La Sella Open and Lacoste Ladies Open de France.

At just 17 years, six months and 24 days old, she also becomes the youngest player to reach three victories in LET history, surpassing Jeeno Thitikul’s previous record who was 18-years-old.

“I’m honestly just so shocked right now,” Huang said. “I didn’t know where the leaderboard was at and I didn’t know where Kelsey [Bennett] was at. I was just trying to stay patient and make pars in the last few holes. But it ended up being the win for me.

“I got a little nervous on the back nine. I mean everyone would. But I just keep playing my own game. To get my third win on tour in only my second year is incredible. I’m just trying to enjoy the moment!”

Six behind Bennett before the start of play, the young star got off to the hottest of starts in Rabat birdying her opening hole before carding a wonderful eagle at the par-5 2nd.

We soon moved to course record watch as Huang carded four birdies in a row at the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th to move to seven-under through eight holes, one off Bennett’s tally.

“I started off really strong,” Huang said. “All my putts were dropping and I was hitting it really close. The front nine was really solid. I was really focused out there.”

The Canadian would bogey the 9th to go out in 31 (-6) before adding another birdie to her scorecard at the 14th.

Bennett meanwhile moved three clear with four birdies in 10 holes before dropping shots at the 12th and 16th to help Huang draw level.

With the 17-year-old in the clubhouse at 14-under par, it all came down to the difficult 18th hole for Bennett. The Aussie’s tee shot would find the fairway bunker forcing her to layup. Despite a tidy third shot in, Bennett’s par putt would miss left giving Huang her third LET victory.

She was greeted by tour mates Shannon Tan from Singapore and Momoka Kobori from New Zealand on the 18th green as the win was confirmed.

“Shannon’s been probably one of the best friends I’ve ever had,” Huang said. “She helped me when I was going through some rough patches last year. She’s always been the biggest supporter of me. I definitely looked up to her a lot last year. She’s just such an amazing person and one of the nicest people I know.”

With Bennett finishing second in Morocco, USA’s Anna Morgan and Italy’s Anna Zanusso ended the week T3 on 10-under par. The pair both recorded their best LET finishes in the process – Zanusso chipping in delightfully for par on the 18th.

Slovenia’s Pia Babnik, solo second before the start of play, finished fifth on nine-under par.

Defending champion Cara Gainer from England and Sara Kouskova from the Czech Republic ended the week sixth on eight-under par.

On the LET Order of Merit, Huang jumps into third position on 1,079.20 points after collecting 500 points for the win. South Africa’s Casandra Alexander still leads the way. She now has 1,777.65 points after picking up another top-10 this week. France’s Agathe Laisne is second on 1,477.70 points.

Next up for the stars of the LET is a trip to Evian Resort for the 2026 Jabra Ladies Open de France.

The post Huang claims the 29th Lalla Meryem Cup after stunning comeback in Morocco appeared first on Golf Digest Middle East.

She leads Slovenian Pia Babnik by three shots who matched the Aussie’s score with a brilliant performance of her own on Royal Golf Dar Es Salam’s Blue Course.

Just like in round one, Bennett, a winner already this season at the Australian Women’s Classic, got off to a hot start birdying three of her first four holes at the 10th, 12th and 13th. The 26-year-old followed this up with another at the 15th to make the turn in 32 and steer clear of the chasing pack.

On to the front nine, Bennett’s back nine, and the Aussie would fire birdies at the 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 8th to sign for a 65 (-8) – one short of Bronte Law’s course record from 2024.

“After a good opening round it’s nice to follow it up,” Bennett said. “Honestly, I just holed the world today. My putter was on fire so that was good. I gave myself some very generous looks. The course is very undulated so you need to miss in the right spots. My driver is on one at the moment too so it helps to hit a lot of fairways around here.”

Bennett won her maiden Ladies European Tour (LET) title on home soil at Magenta Shores in March and currently sits fourth on the Order of Merit.

“It definitely helps having been in that position before,” the Australian said. “Knowing I converted that position. But it’s a different course, different country, different weather, you’ve just got to take each day as it is and hopefully my putter stays hot. I do get a little nervous out there but not overly. I’m pretty chill.”

Babnik meanwhile, teeing up one group behind our leader, also went low firing nine birdies and dropping just one shot which came at the 14th.

The Slovenian is chasing a third LET victory this week following wins in 2021 at the Jabra Ladies Open and Aramco Team Series – Jeddah. Babnik, a two-time Olympian, has rekindled her best form following swing difficulties in 2023 and recently came close to winning the Investec SA Women’s Open where she finished third.

“It was a great day,” she said. “I holed a few long putts and managed to hit a few shots really close. I really enjoyed today. I’m happy with my season so far. I’ve had a few good results, but you know, I’m still chasing that win and I know I can do better. I just need to practice more and try to improve.

“I’ll just try to do my best tomorrow. There’s a lot of really good players behind us too. I’ll try to keep it in the fairway, hit it close and then we’ll see. The greens will be a bit firmer in the afternoon tomorrow so it will be a little bit more tricky [to go low]. But I’m really looking forward to it.”

In a tie for third on seven-under par sit Italy’s Anna Zanusso and Canada’s Anna Huang. The former fired a round of 67 (-6) playing alongside Bennett and Kajsa Arwefjall who combined to shoot 19-under par on day two.

Defending champion Cara Gainer from England also remains in the mix after carding a 69 (-4) on Friday to move to six-under par for the tournament. Incredibly, Gainer eagled the 2nd and 8th holes at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam for the second consecutive day. She shares fifth spot with Finland’s Ursula Wikstrom and Spain’s Ana Pelaez Trivino through 36 holes in Morocco.

After two day of action, the cut fell at two-over par with 68 players making it through to Saturday’s final round. This includes home players Maha Haddioui who bounced back with a 69 (-4) on Friday and 18-year-old amateur Rim Imni.

The third and final round of the Lalla Meryem Cup gets underway tomorrow at 8:30 local time. The leaders will go out at 10:31 local time.

The post Bennett extends lead in Lalla Meryem Cup appeared first on Golf Digest Middle East.

Playing in the afternoon wave on a sun-soaked Thursday at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam’s Blue Course, Bennett carded seven birdies and dropped two shots to leapfrog the early pace setters.

The card included two birdies in her first two holes as the 26-year-old continued her excellent start to the 2026 season.

“It was really solid,” Bennett said, a winner at this year’s Australian Women’s Classic. “Obviously starting off with two birdies always helps. Michael [Baines, my caddie] and I just went through some really good processes. I rolled in some nice putts too which always helps.”

The Australian currently sits fourth on the Ladies European Tour (LET) Order of Merit following her maiden victory on home soil back in March.

“My goal this year in finishing inside the top-10 so I can go to LPGA Q-Series,” Bennett said. “Nothing overly different [now I have that win], it’s a new week and a new golf course. New feelings. All that stuff.”

As we pan down into second position we have ourselves a stacked group in Morocco with 10 players locked on three-under par.

This group includes Singapore’s Shannon Tan, winner of last year’s Order of Merit, as well as fellow LET winners Ana Pelaez Trivino, Anna Huang and Chiara Noja. They are joined on the score by Ursula Wikstrom, Pranavi Urs, Hannah Screen, Teresa Toscano, Ayako Uehera and Dorthea Forbrigd.

Chasing a third LET victory, Tan said: “Three-under, bogey-free. I think I was pretty consistent out there today. It’s a treelined course but honestly I prefer that. I think I quite like this course. I feel comfortable around here.

“I got into two LPGA events so I’ve only played five LET events so far this year. It’s something I have to accept this year knowing I’ll be playing in more Majors. My schedule is flowing a lot better now but the focus is different. Last year I was focused on the Order of Merit. This year I’m focused on trying to do well in the Majors.”

Forbrigd meanwhile is also teeing up in just her fifth this season following a wrist injury which forced her to withdraw from the first five events.

“I think you have to be aggressive out there,” the Norweigan said. “I feel like if you try and be safe or try and be defensive you almost can get hit in the face a little bit. I think it’s better to be aggressive and see where the ball ends up.

“I feel a lot better now. It’s progressing nicely and I can more and more. So that’s very nice. At the start coming back, I had to manage it a lot more but now I can do the practice that I want. Hopefully I stay healthy from now on.”

Defending champion Cara Gainer from England got off to a solid start posting a round of 70 (-2) to sit three shots back. The 30-year-old’s card included two eagles on the front nine which came at the 2nd and 8th – the latter where she came close to making an albatross after a brilliant second shot in.

Home favourite Maha Haddioui and amateur Rim Imni are Morocco’s highest placed players after 18 holes of action. Both opened with a rounds of 76 (+3) in Rabat to sit in a share for 74th.

Elsewhere on day one, Thailand’s Aunchisa Utama enjoyed a magical moment making a hole-in-one at the par-3 17th to win herself a Range Rover Sport.

“It’s my dream car!” Utama said following the ace. “My caddie’s too. Me talked about it during the practice round, that we had to get this one in my life. I keep thinking about how I’m going to get it back to Thailand… I don’t know how. But I’ll figure it out later.”

The second round of the Lalla Meryem Cup gets underway tomorrow at 8:00 local time.

A post shared by Ladies European Tour (@letgolf)

Solheim Cup legend Ciganda burst through the pack at the Ladies European Tour event in Texas with a run of five birdies in six holes on her front nine, before the Golf Saudi ambassador recorded her only blemish of the day with a bogey at the 8th to finish with an 8-under 64 and lead by one on 10-under from Iturrioz.

A field of 104 world-class female golfers started the day at the Golf Saudi-backed event, which comprises a team event finishing on Saturday and an individual contest which looks an intriguing prospect for Sunday with 20 players – including four Golf Saudi ambassadors – within five shots of the lead.

Ciganda kept her cool in the sultry Texan heat on Saturday with a sensational opening nine holes. Starting at the 10th she fired six birdies and at one point the prospect of a rare 59 was on everyone’s mind, but a solid second nine, which included her only blemish at the 8th, saw her settle for an outstanding 64.

“I wasn’t thinking too much about the result, to be honest. I was just trying to be present. I think that’s when the best results happen. But yeah, I was at one point. I think, nine under after 13 holes, so it could have been a low one.”

The eye-catching round was something of a return to form for the Spaniard, who has been struggling to make an impact in recent weeks missing her last four cuts on the LPGA Tour.

“My last few events I haven’t been great, so I spent a couple days with my coach on Sunday, Monday. And I think, yeah, I think my swing is back on track. It feels pretty good now. And I think at the end of day just keep working. You have to be always humble, keep practising and try your best every day.”

Iturrioz was all smiles after she carded a 67 to back up her opening 68 to finish the second round on 9-under, one behind her Spanish compatriot and perfectly poised to launch a challenge in the individual PIF Global Series event, which boasts a prize fund of $1.5m.

Like Ciganda, Iturrioz said time focusing on the mental side of the game and renewed focus on her range routine had lifted her game and she cut a cheerful figure in the verdant fairways at Golfcrest.

“I like to smile because I like to separate golf and life. Of course, I get mad. The happier you see a person, the more you can see a strong character out there. So yes, I get mad, of course, but I try always to turn around and try to do my best.”

It was another vibrant day of activity at the Golf Saudi-backed event with Go Golf clinics giving hundreds of fans the chance to improve their game and in some instances play for the first time.

An initiative with the Trees For Houston non-profit organisation will see five trees donated to the local community for every birdie scored at the par 5 14th and Saturday’s superb total of 44 birdies will mean another healthy addition to the greenery around Greater Houston.

The PIF Global Series forms a key pillar in Golf Saudi’s objective to elevate women golfers the world over, in tandem with a significant number of clinics, workshops and initiatives held at each venue aimed at encouraging newcomers into the game and driving awareness around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a global golfing power and tourism destination.

Although a few teams had a chance to catch Team Kouskova in the final groupings of the day at a hot and humid Golfcrest Country Club, Thai Angurasaranee’s timely birdie ultimately made the difference and victory was secured by just one shot with an aggregate total of 32-under.

Team Rhodes and Team Boutier tied for second at 31-under, with Team Alexander and Team Gainer a further stroke back in a tie for fourth. Golf Saudi ambassador Carlota Ciganda of Spain leads the individual competition by one shot after firing a superb eight-under 64 in the second round to post a 10-under total.

The Golf Saudi-backed event is the fourth and penultimate leg of this season’s PIF Global Series, which underscores a long-term commitment to the growth of women’s sport, and also offers one of the highest purses in the women’s game with $500k gong to the winning team and $1.5m across the individual competition.

The winning team, captained by Czech Republic’s Sara Kouskova, also featured Slovenia’s Ana Belac and Denmark’s Sofie Kibsgaard Nielsen. For Kouskova, it was a second PIF Global Series team title this year as she had captained a different lineup to victory at the Aramco Korea Championship in May, and it was her third team win in all – having been a member of Ciganda’s triumphant line-up in Riyadh in 2023.

“I’ve been fortunate to be in this position before, but every team is different,” Kouskova said after following her opening 69 with a 73 to share 39th place in the individual competition heading into Sunday’s final round. “As captain, you try to create an environment that gives us the best chance of posting a good score, but ultimately it comes down to how the players perform — and my teammates did an incredible job.

“We focused on spreading the birdies around and keeping the momentum going. I cooled off a little on the back nine, but thankfully my teammates stepped up brilliantly,” added the Czech, who lies second in the 2025 LET Order of Merit after winning the Jabra Ladies Open in May and the Tenerife Women’s Open in June.

Angurasaranee had a day to remember as she surged into a share of fourth in the individual competition, three shots off the pace, after shooting a bogey-free 6-under 66.

A runner-up in her first LET event as a member, at the 2023 season-opener Magical Kenya Ladies Open, Angurasaranee has fully embraced being part of the team format instigated by Golf Saudi.

“I’d never really played that well in team events before, so this is a big change and a really important moment for me,” the 21-year-old smiled. “I didn’t have any expectations coming into the week, but being part of such a relaxed, supportive team made it really enjoyable.

“That birdie putt on 18 is something I’ll remember for a long time. To see it drop in front of the crowd was such a confidence boost, and it came at just the right time for me.”

Belac, who became the first Slovenian to join the LPGA Tour after winning both the 2020 Symetra Tour Rookie of the Year and the Symetra Tour Player of the Year, has also relished playing in the team environment this week.

“This was one of the most enjoyable weeks I’ve had this year,” said the Slovenian after totalling seven birdies in her 68. “I haven’t been playing my best lately, so to be part of such a fun, relaxed group really helped me play with freedom and enjoy my golf again.”

Kibsgaard Nielsen, who won three LET Access Series titles on her way to securing LET membership for 2024, was delighted to share in team victory after struggling for form last year.

“I came here without huge expectations — in fact, I only committed quite late,” said the Dane. “But I’ve been playing really solid golf this season, so my mindset was to stay patient.

“The atmosphere in our group helped so much. We kept it calm, didn’t get ahead of ourselves, and just focused on doing our jobs. That made it easier to perform and to contribute to the team. It was a really enjoyable week.”

The stunning team event capped another day of excitement on and off the course as temperatures reached the 90s at Golfcrest Country Club in Texas.

Over 100 fans from Muslim Golf Association, Girls Inc Houston and First Tee – Houston attended and took part in careers in sport workshops as well as a clinic hosted by coaches Georgia Ball and Charlotte Austwick.

While hundreds enjoyed the Golf Saudi-organised clinics, an initiative with the Trees For Houston non-profit organisation will see five trees donated to the local community for every birdie scored at the par 5 14th and Saturday’s superb haul of 44 birdies will mean a healthy addition to the greenery around Greater Houston.

At the core of Golf Saudi’s vision is the development and empowerment of women in golf, offering world-class competition opportunities and nurturing the next generation of female golfers. Through innovative programs, grassroots initiatives, and global campaigns, Golf Saudi is introducing the sport to new players and inspiring beginners to pick up the game.

The Aramco Houston Championship concludes with Sunday’s final round featuring the top 60 and ties.

RELATED: Mimi Rhodes is just getting started

Rhodes fired seven birdies and a bogey for a two-shot lead over four-time Ladies European Tour (LET) winner Nuria Iturrioz, Luna Sobron Galmes, Solheim Cup star and Golf Saudi ambassador Anne Van Dam of the Netherlands, and Malaysia’s Ashley Lau, who all sit at four-under-par.

A cluster of eight players lie a further shot back on three-under-par, including world number 10 and Golf Saudi ambassador Charley Hull and Sara Kouskova, who has won twice on the LET this year and sits in second place on the LET OOM.

Luna Sobron Galmes’ performance helped Team Boutier, led by French captain Celine Boutier another standout Golf Saudi ambassador, take the first-round lead at 18-under-par, two shots ahead of Team Tan, captained by Singapore’s Shannon Tan, on 16-under.

Rhodes, enjoying a stellar rookie season on the LET with wins in Australia, South Africa, and the Netherlands, expressed her delight at her performance and highlighted the importance of the PIF Global Series events for the growth of women’s golf.

She said: “I’m really happy with it. I was consistent, only missed a couple of fairways, and I feel like my swing is in a good place. I can shape different shots if I need to, and I got a bit creative out there. The putts were rolling nicely too, which always helps.

“These are the events we look forward to all year. They’ve really elevated women’s golf. To win one would show that I can compete against the best in the world on this stage. It would be a huge confidence boost at this point in the season.”

Nuria Iturrioz, who last tasted victory on the LET at the 2023 La Sella Open, reflected on her performance, the course, and her goals for the rest of the week, saying: “It was a good round. I played really solid, but I did miss quite a few putts, so I felt like there were more chances out there. Overall, I’m happy with how I played and it gives me confidence for tomorrow.

“t’s a really good golf course. I know there was a lot of rain last week, but it’s dried out really quickly. The greenkeeping team has done a great job.

“I’d love to get back into the winner’s circle, but my main goal is to be more consistent. That’s what I’ve been working on – both my swing and my mental game.”

Luna Sobron Galmes, who has won three times in her career, all on the LET Access Series, is playing with new clubs this week and didn’t have any expectations coming into the week so was pleasantly surprised by her performance in round one.

The Spaniard said: “I played really well and felt very comfortable out there. My caddie was fantastic, which gave me a lot of confidence. On Sunday and Monday, I had to play with a new set of clubs, so I wasn’t sure how they would feel, but I went out with no expectations and it worked really well.

“The key for me has been mindset. Staying calm, being patient, and taking it step by step is what helps me perform. I’m looking forward to tomorrow and just want to enjoy being here with the team.”

The event showcased exceptional talent across the field, with seven Golf Saudi ambassadors finishing in the top-20 after the first round.

Set just west of St Albans, UK, the Centurion Club offers a dramatic 18-hole course that blends mature pine woodland within a sculpted terrain.

Centurion Club, UK

Opened in 2013, the par-72 layout stretches to 7,100 yards and works effortlessly between natural and shaped landscapes. Tight, tree-lined fairways give way to sweeping views, deep bunkers, water hazards and undulating greens. It’s a true modern test built to challenge strategy as much as skill.

The club has hosted the DP World Tour, LIV Golf and now once again welcomes the Ladies European Tour this week for the PIF London Championship, part of the PIF Global Series.

The post QUICKSHOT: Enter the Centurion appeared first on Golf Digest Middle East.

There’s something deeply special about seeing the AIG Women’s Open come to Wales. To have one of the biggest events in women’s golf played at Royal Porthcawl—on home soil—is huge. I sadly won’t be working there this year, as I’ll be commentating at the Legends Tour’s Staysure PGA Seniors Championship, but I’ll be keeping an eye on it for sure!

Porthcawl has always had a place in my heart. It’s one of my favourite courses in the world: a proper links layout, open and exposed, where the wind can change everything. It’s a course that demands creativity, patience, and precision—and it’s about to test the best women players in the world.

I’ve played there plenty of times, and when the conditions turn, it’s no joke. The course’s biggest defence is the weather, without a doubt. When the wind is up, there’s nowhere to hide. And then there are the pot bunkers—plenty of them—waiting to catch anything even slightly offline.

But it isn’t just a big week for the players, it’s a big week for Welsh golf. We’ve hosted great events before, of course, but this is different. This is a women’s major. It’s a moment to put Welsh golf on the map, to show that we have world-class courses, passionate fans, and a deep love for the game.

So I hope this week inspires others, especially young girls. I still remember going to watch this tournament with my parents when I was little. Seeing the best players in the world up close planted the seed that made me want to become a professional golfer. I can only imagine how powerful that same experience will be for the next generation watching in Wales.

Even though I’ve now retired from playing professionally, I’m really proud to be involved in various golf broadcasting. While I do miss the competitive side, I’m genuinely enjoying this new chapter. Getting to walk the course, watch the action up close, and bring that to viewers at home is a new kind of challenge—but one I’m embracing. It’s given me a front-row seat to the incredible level of talent especially in the women’s game right now.

Of course, I’d have loved to be there at Porthcawl. You never really lose that buzz during a major week. But instead, I’ll be cheering on the Welsh players who make the field and soaking up what promises to be an unforgettable week for our country, our course, and our sport.

The post Porthcawl Perspective – Amy Boulden shares what it means to see a women’s major arrive on home soil appeared first on Golf Digest Middle East.

Backed by a shared mission to grow the game globally, Golf Saudi’s ambassadors aren’t just playing for glory, they’re driving change, raising the profile of women’s golf, and creating a legacy that extends far beyond the fairways.

Golf Saudi Ambassador – Carlota Ciganda

Carlota Ciganda of Spain is among the standout names in the field and arrives in fine form, having claimed her first LPGA victory in nine years at the Meijer LPGA Classic in June. An eight-time LET winner and currently ranked 24th in the world, she capped off her 2024 season in style with a triumphant performance on home soil at the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España. The Solheim Cup player is also no stranger to success on the PIF Global Series stage, having secured an individual title in Florida and a team win in Riyadh in 2023.

2024 Aramco Team Series Riyadh – Charley Hull

Among the confirmed star-studded lineup is England’s Charley Hull, a four-time LET and two-time LPGA Tour winner who stands out as one of the leading figures in women’s golf. Hull’s last triumph came at Riyadh Golf Club when she stormed to victory in the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Riyadh, and off the back of a strong showing at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open, the world no.19 will be a force to be reckoned with.

2023 Evian Championship winner and world no.17, Celine Boutier of France, and 2021 Chevron Championship winner, Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand – who also triumphed at the 2024 Aramco Saudi Ladies International – will compete and look to bolster their trophy collections at Centurion Club.

Emily Pedersen of Denmark with her trophies from Saudi Arabian swing

Denmark’s Emily Pedersen is another Golf Saudi ambassador who will tee it up in London in August. The Solheim Cup star is on an upturn in form, following a top-15 finish at the Amundi Evian Championship earlier this month.

One of the big hitters on tour, Anne Van Dam of the Netherlands is set to bring her trademark power and precision to Centurion Club, with the 2019 Solheim Cup champion looking to add to her five wins on the Ladies European Tour.
