St. Louis native Brooke Biermann, a recent Michigan State University graduate, put together an impressive run at the 125th U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship held at Bandon Dunes.
Biermann’s path to the title match was anything but easy. She navigated three nail-biting matches that went beyond regulation, including a 19-hole semifinal victory over Lyla Louderbaugh. Those wins secured her place in the 36-hole final against Stanford University’s Megha Ganne.
In the championship round, Biermann battled through the challenging coastal winds but ultimately fell to Ganne by a score of 4 and 3. Even in defeat, she demonstrated outstanding skill, resilience, and sportsmanship.
Adding to the special nature of her performance, Biermann’s father, Bill Biermann, was on the bag as her caddie throughout the week—making her strong showing a true family affair.
