Sára Kousková (born 2 July 1999) is a Czech professional golfer and Ladies European Tour player. In 2021 she won the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge to become the first Czech amateur to win a professional event. In October 2022 she continued creating Czech golf history with first ever Czech female win of the LET Access Series Order of Merit.[1]
Kousková was born in Prague and began playing golf when she was five years old. At six, she won her first tournament at a pitch and putt course. She became a member of the Czech National Team in 2013, and became the top-ranked U18 golfer in the Czech Republic. She has represented her country at the European Girls' Team Championship four times, securing a fourth-place finish in 2016. She has also played in four European Ladies' Team Championships, and at the 2018 Espirito Santo Trophy in Ireland.
In 2015, she won the Austrian International Ladies Amateur and was runner-up at the Czech International Ladies Amateur Championship. She finished in the top-10 at the European Ladies Amateur Championship in 2017, 2018 and 2020, and she advanced to the quarterfinals at the Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship in 2017, 2018 and 2019. She competed at the 2022 Augusta National Women's Amateur.
In 2018, Kousková enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin and joined the Texas Longhorns women's golf team. As a junior, she won the Arizona Wildcat Invitational and helped the Longhorns advance to the quarterfinals and a tie for fifth place at the NCAA Championships.[2]
In 2021, Kousková won the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge. She made history as she became the first ever Czech player to win a LET Access Series event and the first Czech amateur to win a professional event.[3]
Kousková finished sixth at the Ladies European Tour Q-School to earn a full card for 2022.[4] However, despite securing status on the LET, Kousková decided not to take up membership and instead finish her education in Texas and complete her final NCAA season.[5]
Kousková turned professional in May 2022 and almost defended her title at the Amundi Czech Ladies Challenge in her first professional start, finishing runner up behind Chiara Noja.[6]
At the Santander Golf Tour Málaga in July 2022, she started the final day four shots behind the leader Virginia Elena Carta of Italy and produced a final score of 67 to win by one stroke over Carta, and seal her second victory on the LET Access Series.[7]
In September 2022, she won two LET Access Series tournaments back-to-back in Sweden (Elite Hotels Open) and Switzerland (ASGI Lavaux Ladies Open).[8]
In October 2022, she became a first ever Czech female golfer to win the Order of Merit title of one of the world's professional tours. In addition to winning the LETAS Order of Merit, she was also named Rookie of the Year, and topped the LETAS Money List.[1]
