Kouskova first amateur to win LET/LETAS event

Amateur Sara Kouskova became the first Czech to win on the LET Access series as she claimed the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge. She is the first amateur to win an LET/LETAS event.

In her first start since returning home for the summer holidays, she showed dominant form.

Kouskova is only the second Czech player to win on LET/LETAS, following Klara Spilkova's win in the Lalla Meryem Cup in 2017.

Kouskova still has one year left of studying in the United States and plans to play the LPGA Q-School this year.

Four amateurs finished in the top-10, including 15-year-old Klara Sionkova who shot three stable rounds of 73, 70 and 71 and shared third place at two-under-par with amateurs Elena Colombo and Tereza Melecka, and professional Verena Gimmy.
