Shannon Tan Sinks It Again: Wins Amundi German Masters!
In an exciting turn of events in the world of women’s golf, Singaporean golfer Shannon Tan made history by clinching the Amundi German Masters title, her second victory on the Ladies European Tour (LET). The tournament was held at the beautiful Green Eagle Golf Courses’ North Course in Winsen (Luhe), Germany. Can you imagine the atmosphere? It must have been electric!
At just 21 years old, Tan showcased her incredible talent, finishing the tournament with an impressive total score of nine-under 283 after a final round score of three-over 76. Fans were on the edge of their seats as she kicked off her campaign with two strong opening rounds: a smooth 70 followed by a dazzling 69. As the days progressed, Tan’s performance soared even higher with a moving day score of 68, placing her in the outright lead. Talk about a hot streak!
The Final Round: Tension and Triumph
Tan’s final round began serenely. She stretched her lead to a comfortable five shots after parring the first eight holes. Imagine feeling that cushion; it’s everything a player dreams of! But with the wind picking up and changing the dynamics of the play, the challenges mounted. A couple of back-to-back bogeys on holes 9 and 10 saw her lead shrink to just two shots. And to add to the drama, Germany’s Helen Briem was hot on her heels, closing the gap with a birdie on the 11th hole.
Struggles continued as Tan three-putted on the par-five ninth and faced a penalty drop on the par-four 10th. But she didn’t crumble under the pressure. Instead, she made a solid birdie on the 11th, regaining some much-needed breathing space. But not for long! A bogey on the 13th hole meant that she was now just two shots ahead of Briem and New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey. Talk about nail-biting moments!
As the tournament reached its climax, a bogey on the 17th hole cut her lead to just one stroke. The pressure must have been immense! Yet, despite the challenges and the growing nerves, Tan was determined. She held her composure and successfully secured her victory, making history as the first Singaporean to win this highly esteemed tournament. What a remarkable achievement!
Shannon Tan: On the Rise
This win marks Tan’s first title of the 2025 season, adding to her impressive resume after turning professional just last year. Her previous victory at the Magical Kenya Ladies Open during her LET debut gave her the confidence and momentum she needed to succeed. Let’s not forget that Tan has been on a remarkable streak lately, achieving four consecutive top-10 finishes in her last four tournaments!
Just recently, she was the runner-up at the Jabra Ladies Open and finished joint-sixth at the Tenerife Women’s Open, which adds to her credentials as a fierce competitor on the ladies’ golf scene. In fact, she only missed the cut once in 11 LET events this season, truly showcasing her skill and determination!
Breaking New Ground
This young golfer has not only been a rising star within the LET but also representing Singapore at a global level. She recorded the best performance by a Singaporean at the prestigious HSBC Women’s World Championship, finishing tied-34th. During her rookie 2024 season, she made waves by finishing sixth on the LET’s Order of Merit, and to top it all off, she also represented her country at the Olympics, finishing 40th.
As if that wasn’t enough, Tan became the second Singaporean to make the cut at a Major during the Women’s British Open at St Andrews. With accolades such as these accompanying her journey, the future looks exceptionally bright for Shannon Tan. Here’s to more victories and plenty of thrilling golf ahead!
