Spanish rookie Carolina Chacarra has followed in the footsteps of her brother. And the timing couldn't get any better than this!

Chacarra won the 2026 Hulencourt Women's Open on the Ladies European Tour, following in the footsteps of her older brother, Eugenio Chacarra, who secured back-to-back DP World Tour titles just weeks prior.

"It's been a great few weeks," Carolina said after her win, according to Australian Golf Digest. "Life is treating us amazing. My brother is my inspiration and to see him win gave me lots of momentum to keep going and try to win myself. I'm very happy."

Just seven days earlier, Eugenio closed out the Italian Open with a bogey-free final-round 64 to win his third DP World Tour title by five shots.

And his sister has left a mark as well. The 23-year-old earned her card at December's Q School in Morocco and has spent her rookie season splitting time between the LPGA and LET.

Hulencourt was only her third LET start of the year, and the win made her the first rookie champion of the 2026 season.

"I was definitely nervous, especially the last three holes," she added. "I had a little bit of adrenaline so I was telling my caddie we needed to take some metres off the yardage. But it was great. My goal was just to enjoy the week and try to get into the Scottish Open. So to win is amazing and I'm very happy."

After shooting 70-65-73, Chacarra was two shots behind Australia's Kelsey Bennett entering the final round. But with four birdie putts and zero bogeys, she secured a 4-under 68 while Bennett ended up with a round of 73.

"No bogeys, some nice birdies, everything was great," Chacarra said. "My caddie [Ivan] talked about it at the beginning of the round about sticking to my process. We gave ourselves lots of chances on the back nine."

The win now reshapes Carolina's summer schedule. She's now exempt into both the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open and the AIG Women's Open.

This isn't the first time one Chacarra sibling's win has set off the other's

Golf Digest recorded the pattern four years ago when both were in college. Eugenio was at Oklahoma State and Carolina was at Wake Forest. And both of them won their first college title within three days of the other.

Eugenio shot a final-round 10-under 62 to win the Amer Ari Invitational in Hawaii. Days later, Carolina fired the same score, a 10-under 62, to win the UCF Challenge in Orlando.

"Every time one of us wins it pushes us when we have another tournament, and we try to emulate each other," Eugenio told Golf Digest.

"When I won the Campeonato de España 18-and-under division in 2018, two weeks later Carolina won the Campeonato de España 16-and-under. We have success when we see the other win."

There's another coincidence in this latest double. Not only did Carolina's win get her into a women's major, but Eugenio's win in Italy also got him into his first men's major: the Open Championship.

"I've dreamed of playing it, always," he said. "I've watched Seve [Ballesteros] win British Opens, I've watched it on TV since I was little. Excited to be out there. It's now time to celebrate and then we focus on that."
