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 committing a bogey. This impressive streak came to an end on the last hole of the tournament, but by then the victory was already assured. Grant closed with a card of 65 strokes, five under par, securing the title with a three-stroke lead 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 hands of the legendary Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam, host of the tournament. Grant had already won the Scandinavian Mixed in Sweden, an event in which Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson co-hosted.\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\nFor Grant, the competition did not present major complications. He finished the tournament with a total of 261 strokes, 19 under par, and was close to setting a new record until a bogey on the final hole broke his streak, which extended from the first hole on Friday.\n\nGrant expressed his satisfaction with the performance, highlighting the importance of turning good play into a victory and the excitement of celebrating the triumph. In addition, he recalled his admiration for Sorenstam since his childhood, when he attended her clinics and was inspired by her game.\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\nKupcho, for her part, achieved a birdie on the first hole, temporarily tying for the lead. However, Grant responded with a birdie on the next hole, taking the lead definitively. The Swedish golfer maintained the pressure, achieving a crucial birdie on the fifth hole and consolidating her advantage on the ninth hole.\n\nGaby L\u00f3pez, from Mexico, finished in third place after a great finish with four birdies in the last six holes.\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 propelled her to a tie for ninth place and secured her a spot among the top 60 in the Race to the CME Globe, qualifying for next week’s CME Group Tour Championship.\n\nNataliya Guseva and Lucy Li also secured their participation in next week’s tournament, thanks to their impressive performances in the last hole.\n\nGrant, for his part, maintained his streak of annual victories dating back to 2020. She has won titles on the LPGA, the Ladies European Tour, the LET Access Series, the Ladies Sunshine Tour, the Nordic Golf League and even the European Tour.\n\nThe defending champion, Nelly Korda, couldn’t keep up with Grant and finished in 15th place.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
