The Spaniard made tournament history, becoming the first player to card all three rounds in the 60s—firing three consecutive rounds of 68 en route to victory.

The 22-year-old wowed us all with her play style—she was aggressive and it paid off. Her playing partner during last year's final round, Andrea Revuelta said after their round together, "[She] Didn't miss one shot. She didn't play defensive. She played aggressively. She hit the [par-5] 13th in two and hit incredible shots all over the 18 holes."

As the ANWA champion, Bernat Escuder got exemptions into four of the LPGA Tour’s five major championships: The Chevron Championship, the U.S. Women’s Open, The Amundi Evian Championship and the AIG Women’s Open. She sadly missed the cut at each event accept the AIG. But the young player recovered quickly, turning pro and setting her sights on earning her LPGA card through official qualifying.

She competed in the final stage of LPGA Q School, placing T-63, which may have not been enough to earn LPGA membership, but it was enough to secure status for the 2026 Epson Tour season.

Bernat Escuder will tee it up for the first time in 2026 as a professional at the Atlantic Beach Classic.
