In a stunning finale, Maja Stark clinched victory in Germany by hitting the post Jessica Karlsson in the lead since day one. Better after 3 laps, Anais Meyssonnier had a complicated last day.
Leader with a stroke ahead at the start of the 72nd and last hole of theAmundi German Masters, Jessica Karlsson failed at the worst moment of the tournament. Her faceoff flew to the right in the forest of this par 4 and the Swede conceded a logical bogey, the second in a row.
At the same time, his 22-year-old compatriot, Maya Stark, back on her heels with a birdie at 17, did not fail to seize the opportunity of a masterful iron shot which ended its race a small centimeter from the hole.
An incredible birdie that allows her to win one step ahead of her compatriot and the German Leonie Harm.
