Many Swedes are at the top after the first day’s game at Evian.
Including Lynn Grant, 23.
– I’m here to win, she says after the dream started.
Lynn Grant He had a career comet in his first year as a professional.
Earlier this summer, she achieved impressive success at the Scandinavian Mixed Championship and made history as the first woman to win a competition on the men’s European Tour.
Now she is chasing new successes.
“Here to win”
The 23-year-old had her dream start at the Evian Championship, the fourth and penultimate women’s tournament, which began today.
I went in the first round at 67 strokes (four under par) and tied for ninth before the rest.
– It felt good. I hit the ball well, but I missed a few short shots. But overall, I feel like I’m playing good golf and have a good season behind me and I feel well prepared for that, she says in the Viaplay broadcast afterwards.
This is the first time in her career that Lynne Grant has played for Evian, and she has had the honor of walking the same ball as icon and seven-time winner Inbee Park.
But nothing scares her.
“I’m here to win,” Grant says confidently.
Nordqvist started strong
Anna Nordqvist, who won the Evian Championship in 2017, also made a great start and, just like Lyn Grant, has four shots on par after the first day’s game.
One hit behind them is Joanna Gustafson at -3.
The Japanese road leads Ayaka Furue at −8.
