Achievements and awards
Mountain West Women's Golfer of the Year 2016–17

Leander is a 2017 graduate of San José State University where she was awarded 2016–17 Mountain West Women's Golfer of the Year. Her stroke average in the 2016–17 season was the best in school history, shooting 17 rounds under par and six rounds of par and winning two tournaments, the Ptarmigan Ram Classic and Meadow Club Intercollegiate, and placing second at three other tournaments.[1]

By 2017 Leander had a World Amateur Golf Ranking of 28[2] and got into the national team. In the European Ladies' Team Championship in Portugal she helped the Swedish team to place 3rd.[3]

Leander qualified for the 2017 Women's British Open at the Kingsbarns Golf Links in Scotland as an amateur by shooting three-under and finishing fifth at the final qualifying, just days before play began. She started the tournament with a one-under 71 in the first round and a two-under 70 in the second round, and she was just one of three amateurs to make the cut. In her final two rounds, she shot 77 and 79 to finish nine-over and in 77th place.[4][5]

Turning professional, Leander was unable to immediately secure a Ladies European Tour card at the Lalla Aicha Tour School and played on the LET Access Series, notching up a handful of top ten finishes including runner up at the 2019 WPGA International Challenge in England.[6][7]
