Congratulations on winning the latest LET Access event in Sweden? How do you feel?

Thank you very much! It’s been couple days now and I think I still don’t quite realize it yet. I am super happy to have won my first professional tournament. It’s definitely an important milestone in my career

Your first professional win on your rookie year did you think you could win this quickly?

To be honest I didn’t think I was going to win during my rookie year. Obviously I set up my goals at the beginning of the year and one of them was to win a tournament but I wasn’t entirely sure I was capable of doing it but I worked hard for it and it paid off.

Describe the shot on 17?

It was a 50 foot putt with a huge right to left break. I just wanted to get a nice two putt and move on to the last hole. I had been executing well my long putt all week so it was amazing to see this one going in, especially in that moment of pressure.

How did you celebrate your victory?

Unfortunately I didn’t had much time to celebrate, I am already at the Bossey Ladies championship so the party will have to wait until I go back home and I can properly celebrate with my friends and family

You now sit 4th on the order of merit it could be a good way on to next years LET?

It’s true I could be on my way to get my LET card next year but I am going to focus on the remaining tournaments this season. I was sitting 50th on the order of the merit before my 2nd place at the Lavaux Championship back in June. It moved me to the TOP 10 and I was already happy of my achievement. I am now sitting at the 4th spot but let’s see how far I can go this season.

How important do you think the access series is in providing a stepping stone to the LET and beyond for young or new pros?

I think the Letas is a good preparation for the LET. As a rookie it’s nice to get some good professional experience at a smaller scale so when you go on the LET or the LPGA you have more confidence and experience.

You attended the University of Minnesota in the USA, how important was that experience for your golf and in life generally?

It’s definitely a good life experience. I moved to the USA, I was only 18 and didn’t speak much English. It definitely taught to be more independent and resilient in the face of challenges which I think also helps with golf. Golf wise my two coaches were amazing, Michele Redman played on the LPGA for 20 years and John Cleary is one of the most knowledgeable technical coach I met. They were a great team and they helped me and are still helping me make the most out of my game.

How did you first get into golf? and who were you biggest golf inspirations growing up?

Well both my parents started golf when I was young and they would teach my older brother so often they would take me along with them. I first started with only putting when I was about 5 but by the time I was 8 I played my first competitions.

I was always a big Michelle Wie fan when I was a kid, she even gave me a signed glove at the 2005 Evian Masters when I was 10. However Annika was probably my biggest inspiration. Her implications with Vision 54 is still today something that inspire my game.
