Germany’s Leonie Harm made history this morning as the first player to hit a competitive shot in Saudi Arabia at the inaugural Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund.
Striking her first shot down the middle of the fairway, Harm made light work of the opening par four, posting a birdie in the first group off at 6.50am while England’s Charlotte Thompson did the same on her first hole, starting from the tenth at the same time.
