Linn Grant conquers The Annika with a dominant performance<\/h2>\n\nSwedish golfer Linn Grant demonstrated absolute control in her game, accumulating 52 consecutive holes without bogeys, an impressive streak that ended on the final hole on Sunday, but without consequences. Grant closed with a card of 65 strokes (-5) to secure a three-stroke victory over Jennifer Kupcho at The Annika.\n\nThis triumph represents Grant’s second LPGA title, and the second time she has received the trophy from the legendary Swedish golfer and tournament host, Annika Sorenstam. Grant had already won the Scandinavian Mixed in Sweden, where Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson co-hosted.\n\n\n
\n\n

“You made this field look easy. It’s not easy,” Sorenstam commented to Grant on the 18th hole green.<\/p>\n\nAnnika Sorenstam<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nGrant finished with a total of 261 strokes (-19) and was close to setting a new tournament record, until a bogey on the final hole broke his streak. This was his first bogey since the opening hole on Friday.\n\nThe Swedish golfer expressed her satisfaction with the performance and the victory, highlighting the feeling of satisfaction upon completing an exceptional week of play. In addition, she recalled her childhood, when she attended Sorenstam’s clinics in Sweden.\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nKupcho, after an initial birdie, briefly tied for the lead, but Grant responded immediately with a birdie on the next hole, and never relinquished the lead again. The Swede maintained the pressure, achieving a crucial birdie to maintain the advantage on the fifth hole.\n\nIn the ninth hole, Grant consolidated his lead with a birdie, increasing the advantage to three strokes. Kupcho also signed a card of 65 strokes.\n\n\n
\n\n

“I’m glad she was playing well because I think that really pushed me to play better,” Grant said.<\/p>\n\nLinn Grant<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nGaby L\u00f3pez, from Mexico, finished in third place with a round of 65 strokes.\n\nBrooke Matthews also had an outstanding performance, achieving a hole-in-one that earned her a two-year contract for a Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n. In addition, she achieved an eagle, which allowed her to move up in the rankings and secure her place among the top 60 of the Race to the CME Globe.\n\nNataliya Guseva also had a memorable moment, with a birdie from 109 yards on the final hole, securing her place among the top 60.\n\nLucy Li also advanced to the next week, thanks to a birdie on the final hole, which moved her up 13 positions and placed her in 58th place.\n\nGrant also maintained his streak of annual victories since 2020.\n\nThe defending champion, Nelly Korda, couldn’t keep up with Grant and finished in 15th place.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
