Aline Krauter (born 30 December 1999) is a German amateur golfer. She won The R&A's Womens Amateur Championship in 2020.[1]

Early life and education[]

Krauter hails from Stuttgart and was educated at Saddlebrook Prep in Florida.[2]

Career[]

Krauter won the 2016 German Girls Open and finished third at the 2018 Portuguese Ladies Amateur. She won the 2020 Womens Amateur Championship at West Lancashire Golf Club in England, 1 up, over home player Annabell Fuller.[3] She became only the second German to do so, following Leonie Harm in 2018.[4]

Krauter represented Germany at the 2016 World Junior Girls Championship in Canada and at six European Team Championships between 2016 and 2021, winning silver at the 2020 European Ladies' Team Championship in Uppsala, Sweden.[5]

Krauter accepted a golf scholarship to Stanford University and started playing with the Stanford Cardinal women's golf team as a freshman in the fall of 2018, while majoring in International Relations.[2] In 2020, her fall semester of college golf was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While other conferences forged on, the Pac-12 Conference did not compete.[6] Krauter was in the original 2020 Arnold Palmer Cup team announced in March 2020, but was dropped when the new lineups were presented for the postponed event in December.[7]

As the reigning Womens Amateur champion, Krauter was invited to both the 2021 Augusta National Women's Amateur and the 2021 ANA Inspiration. The tournaments were played on the same dates so she chose to play the ANA Inspiration, where she was the only amateur in the field.[8]
