Maja Stark wins the LET German Masters after an incredible near-eagle on the 18th as she pips Jessica Karlsson to the title
Maja Stark produced a sensational finish to snatch victory from fellow Swede Jessica Karlsson at the Amundi German Masters.
Karlsson, who started the final round at Golf & Country Club Seddiner See one shot clear of her compatriot, had looked on course for her first Ladies European Tour victory when she rolled in a birdie putt at the 13th to move three clear.
However, her lead was back down to one after she bogeyed the 17th and Stark nailed a 12-foot putt for birdie.
Stark then followed that up with a sensational approach at the 18th which was a whisker away from dropping in for an eagle, and the tap-in birdie putt sealed the win as Karlsson missed her par putt after finding trouble off the tee.
The 22-year-old finished with a two-under 70 for a closing total of 15-under 273 which secured her a fourth LET success.
Karlsson (72) had to settle for a share of second place one back on 14 under with Germany’s Leonie Harm, who carded a flawless 68.
Polly Mack, who eagled the 18th by holing from the fairway for a 67, and fellow German Olivia Cowan (68) finished in a tie for fourth on 13 under along with recent Scandinavian Mixed winner Linn Grant of Sweden (68) and Scotland’s Laura Beveridge (68).
