Helen Briem finishes second in home match on the Ladies European Tour

Helen Briem missed her second victory on the Ladies European Tour by one stroke. The 19-year-old finished one shot behind in second place at the only event on Europe's most important women's Tour. Shannon Tan from Singapore took victory at the Amundi German Masters with an overall score of nine under Par. It was the 21-year-old's second success on the LET after the Megical Kenya Open. The winner's prize money amounts to 45,000 euros. Third place went to New Zealander Amelia Garvey.

Victory at the German Masters goes to Singapore

"It was definitely close," admitted the winner after the tournament. "Most of the greens that I missed, I missed on the right side. That obviously helped me a lot. It was quite windy. But that applied to everyone. The wind helped on some holes, but you also have to live with balls flying too far. I only looked at the leaderboard once, and that was on the 18th green. So I knew I needed a two putt and gave the Birdie putt a chance."

Helen Briem achieves next top result

Briem achieved her ninth top five result in just the 16th start of her professional career and was not only very satisfied with herself, but also with the Amundi German Masters: "Of course it's a shame about the two missed putts at the 17th and 18th holes. But overall it was a very solid performance over the four days. Even if there is still a lot of potential, especially on the greens. But in the end I am very satisfied. I've never seen so many spectators at a tournament before. There were a lot of people, especially at the key holes. When there are so many people at the last Par 3s, the adrenaline rush is even greater. It was a unique experience. If you're not on the ball yourself, you can enjoy it. It's another solid result."

Carolin Kauffmann and Esther Henseleit, among others, ensured further strong results from the host nation. Kauffmann celebrated her best result on the Ladies European Tour with a tie for eighth place. Henseleit, Olympic silver medalist in Paris, dropped back to tenth place on the final day, but the conclusion was still positive: "The golf could have been better, I definitely left a few shots out there, but overall the result is definitely really good. It was really fun to play the last few days here in front of a home crowd. I think the new location was definitely a success," said Henseleit, summing up the move from Berlin to the gates of Hamburg.

Tournament Director Dirk Glittenberg was also delighted with the turnout of around 12,500 fans and the successful premiere of the German Masters at the new location: "We have certainly set a benchmark at the LET with this rousing premiere here in Hamburg. We had hoped that this tournament would be a hit here - the fact that it actually happened is overwhelming," said Glittenberg, who is also Managing Director of the organizer U.COM Event.
