ABOUT Leonie Harm
Harm, the 2018 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year, earned her place in the nation's premier collegiate event with a record-setting performance in the NCAA Austin Regional Final Round on May 9.

She drained six birdies with an eagle during the final 18 holes on the way to a school-record 65 to move into a three-woman playoff for the final two individual spots out of the Austin Regional. After nearly two extra hours of play, Harm clinched her place with a par on the seventh playoff hole.

Harm, who stands at No. 32 in the latest Golfstat individual rankings, leads the Cougars in 2017-18 with a 72.71 scoring average and 16 rounds of par or better. She has earned Top-7 finishes in each of her last four tournaments, including a second-place showing at the LSU Tiger Classic on March 23-25.
