Grant dominates mixed event to become first woman winner on DP World Tour

0

Linn Grant has become the first female winner in DP World Tour history after cruising to a dominant nine-stroke victory at the Scandinavian Mixed in Sweden.

The 22-year-old, already a two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour this season, completed the biggest victory of her career at an event where 78 women and 78 men from the DP World Tour play over the same course for one prize fund.

Grant took a two-shot lead into the final day at Halmstad Golf Club and never relinquished control during a special Sunday, birdieing five of her opening six holes on her way to a brilliant bogey-free 64 on home soil.

The Swede ended the week on 24 under, nine ahead of Scotland's Marc Warren and tournament co-host Henrik Stenson, with Grant's total some 14 shots better than nearest female challenger Gabriella Cowley.

Playing alongside Jason Scrivener, Grant - who only turned professional last summer - made the dream start with back-to-back birdies and extended overnight advantage by firing a brilliant tee shot to set up a close-range gain at the fourth.
