Csilla Rózsa

Csicsi Rózsa (born 14 January 1997) is a Hungarian professional golfer. In 2014, she became the first Hungarian to earn membership of the Ladies European Tour (LET), and was named Hungarian Golfer of the Year.

Early life and amateur career Rózsa was born in Budapest and was first introduced to golf at the age of eight by her uncle Peter Lajtai, a TV commentator, who took her to a golf show in Hungary called "Golfstar Gala". She started to play at 11 when the nine hole Highland Golf Club opened just 10 minutes from her home. After only a year of practice, she set her sights on becoming a pro.

Professional career In late 2014, Rózsa illustrated her talent by securing a card at the final stage of LET Qualifying School. She finished tied for 17th place, earning playing rights on the 2015 Ladies European Tour, as the first LET member from Hungary.

She made little impact on the LET but was runner-up in two LETAS events in 2016, at the Borås Ladies Open one stroke behind Josephine Janson, and at the Azores Ladies Open five strokes behind Jenny Haglund.

Rózsa joined the Symetra Tour and was a rookie in 2017. She made the cut in 15 of the 22 events and recorded two top-10 finishes, including a season-best T4 finish at the PHC Classic.

In 2020, she was again made Hungarian Golfer of the Year.
