A piece of golfing history occurred recently when Linn Grant became the first female to win a Scandinavian Mixed tournament with an amazing nine shot win. Grant was the only woman left in the top 15 final round, and at just 22 years old, was able to jump far ahead when she birdies in five of the first six holes. Grant ended up finishing 24 under par for her win in the tournament that featured 78 men and 78 women. She also was 14 shots above any other female golfer. Grant was quoted in saying “It’s such a huge victory, especially playing in front of my family and my friends. It’s crazy to make golf history and to win by so many. I was so pleased to do it for the women!
