Leonie Harm claimed her first professional title at the German Masters on Sunday
German golfer Leonie Harm has won her first professional title on the Ladies European Tour, 13 years after nearly dying when she was hit by a drunken driver
Thirteen years after nearly dying when she was hit by a drunken driver, German golfer Leonie Harm won her first professional title on the Ladies European Tour — on home soil, too. Harm birdied her last two holes to win the German Masters on Sunday for a belated golfing breakthrough that seemed destined not to happen in 2013 when she went for an early-morning run before school. As she crossed the street near her home, Harm — aged 15 at the time and a highly rated junior in European golf — was hit by a car being driven at 45 miles per hour by a woman who had been drinking alcohol.
