Local Swedish golfer Linn Grant emerged victorious with a one-shot lead on the final day, making a remarkable comeback from being 11 shots behind fellow Swede Sebastian Soderberg, who had led the tournament from the beginning. Grant, 24, made history in 2022 by becoming the first woman to win on the DP World Tour, and she has now achieved this feat for the second time.
Grant’s impressive bogey-free 65 (-7) on the final day secured her a clubhouse lead of 17-under-par at Vasatorps Golfklubb. Soderberg, who had a one-shot advantage going into the final round, faltered with a double bogey, ultimately handing the title to Grant. Her remarkable 11-shot comeback is the biggest in the history of the DP World Tour, which co-sanctioned the event with LET.
