Singapore’s Shannon Tan sank her par putt on the last to secure a one-shot victory and her second Ladies European Tour (LET) title after a tense final day at the 2025 Amundi German Masters.
It was a windy fourth round on the North Course at Green Eagle Golf Courses with players battling the conditions.
Tan, who led overnight with a score of 12-under-par, opened with eight pars before making back-to-back bogeys on the ninth and 10th holes.
A birdie on 11 put the Olympian back to a three-shot advantage over Germany’s Helen Briem, who was playing in the group in front.
However, bogeys on 13 and 17 saw the lead reduce to just one shot with one hole to play as Briem held the clubhouse lead on eight-under-par.
After making it onto the 18th green, the 21-year-old knocked her birdie putt a few feet past but then rolled in the par putt to clinch her second LET title with a score of nine-under-par.
“It means a lot to win, especially after being in contention the past few weeks and not being able to close out in the last round,” said Tan. “It definitely hurt before, but to get the victory this week means a lot to me.
“I will admit, I missed a few greens out there on the front nine. The work that I put in last week when I saw my coach, we did a lot of short game, and also changed the shaft on my wedges, that paid off.
“I was missing the greens but missing it in the right spots for most of them. That definitely does help. It was quite windy out there, but if it’s windy for me then it’s windy for everyone else. I just went out there and controlled the controllables and that’s all I could do.
“I only knew the situation when I was walking up on 18, I looked at the leaderboard and knew I had to two-putt it. That’s the only time I looked at a leaderboard. The birdie putt definitely had a chance, I hit it two or three feet past but it had a chance considering it was 11 paces downhill.”
Germany’s Briem produced a round of 73 (E) to finish in outright second place on eight-under-par in Hamburg.
The 19-year-old dropped her only shot of the day on the ninth before she lipped out for eagle on the 11th hole and tapped in the birdie putt to get back to eight-under.
“Of course, it’s a shame about the two missed putts on the 17th and 18th holes, but it was a very solid performance over the four days,” said Briem. “There is still a lot of potential, especially on the greens, but in the end, I’m very satisfied.
“I’ve never seen so many spectators at a tournament before. It was really great. There were a lot of people, especially at the key holes. That was so cool. When there are so many people at the last par-3s, the adrenaline rush is even greater. It’s another solid result.
“I’m very happy with the last few weeks. We’ve made the right adjustments. Now I’m looking forward to a break and then my first major.”
New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey carded a round of 72 (-1) to end the week in third place on seven-under-par in Germany.
It is the rookie’s third top-10 in four weeks and equalled her best finish of third place at the Hulencourt Women’s Open.
“I’m very pleased,” said Garvey. “I hardly made any bogeys out there around this track, so I’m really pleased with how me and Jamie [Tipper] went about this course.
“We were really smart, and it seemed to pay off. Shannon lit it up. I’m really looking forward to Ireland, I’ve played at Carton House before. My game is in a good spot.”
South Africa’s Lee-Anne Pace and Ireland’s Anna Foster shared fourth place on four-under-par with India’s Vani Kapoor and Czechia’s Tereza Melecka in T6.
One shot further back in a tie for eighth place were India’s Diksha Dagar and Germany’s Carolin Kauffmann with four players rounding out the top 10.
In the LET Order of Merit, England’s Mimi Rhodes and Czechia’s Sara Kouskova are still in first and second place, but Tan has jumped from sixth to third in the standings and now has 1,391.59 points.
England’s Cara Gainer is fourth with 1,259.68, Germany’s Helen Briem is just behind in fifth with 1,219.45 and South Africa’s Casandra Alexander is sixth.
Next for the LET is a trip to Dublin for the KPMG Women’s Irish Open, which is taking place at Carton House between July 3-6.
