Leonie Harm Wins First Ladies European Tour Title at German Masters

Her home triumph caps a 13-year comeback from a near-fatal accident.

Overview

  • Harm, who closed with a birdie on the 18th on Sunday, beat South Africa’s Casandra Alexander by one shot at Green Eagle Golf Courses near Hamburg.
  • She finished at 10-under 282 after rounds of 65, 75, 73 and 69, with the opening 8-under 65 setting a course record.
  • The 28-year-old survived a 2013 collision that left her in a coma with severe brain injuries and fractures, returning to golf seven weeks later.
  • Accounts differ on early survival odds from that crash, with paramedics cited as estimating less than 1% and other reports noting doctors at 4%.
  • After turning pro in 2020 and finishing runner-up at this event in 2022, she weighed quitting in 2024, studied biophysical sciences at the University of Houston, and worked on a COVID-19 vaccine candidate during the sport’s shutdown.
