Linn Grant made history in front of her home fans as she stormed to a stunning nine-shot victory at the 2022 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed to become the first female winner of a DP World Tour event.

The 2022 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed moves to a new home this season as Halmstad Golf Club plays host to the innovative event. Tournament hosts Henrik Stenson and Annika Sorenstam tee it up alongside defending champion Jonathan Caldwell and in-form Ladies European Tour stars Maja Stark and Linn Grant, but will it be a man or a woman lifting the trophy on Sunday? Home favourite Alex Noren is the highest-ranked male player in the field this week as he goes in search of DP World Tour win number 11. Four of those victories came in as many months in 2016 and since then he has claimed two Rolex Series wins at the 2017 BMW PGA Championship and 2018 Open de France. Swede Maja Stark only turned professional last season but to say her introduction to the paid ranks has been successful would be a dramatic understatement. A two-time winner on the LET last season, she added a third title at this year’s Women’s NSW Open and sits top of the Race to Costa del Sol, with five other top tens from her seven starts. It’s all to play for in Sweden!

Fantastic achievement
To all the butthurt golfers. This is a Mixed golf event. If you think it's unfair, don't watch it. Thanks.
Briljant!!
I’m quite happy watching her hit from any tee
One of the finest swings ive ever seen, hands down
I wonder how far forward she was compared to the men?
congratulations! such smart play. 10x the money from womens tour. fantastic accuracy. shush to all the haters she won in dominant fashion 9 strokes
My sister just beat me in a 100 meter race. She just started 20 meters ahead. Great race though!
Remarquable performance entre 9 et 14 coups d'avance sur les 18 messieurs qui la suivent c'est fantastique.
This competition is awesome. I hope they can do more mixed comps with possibly bigger names from mens side.
She’s hot.
Ridiculous! One of the worst tournaments I’ve seen. PLAY FROM THE SAME TEES
This is excellent. She played brilliantly
Her clubs are more than 2° flat aren't they?
So many salty men in this comment thread. Disgusting. Just be happy for her. It's not like the forward tees give her THAT much of an advantage. Her average driving distance was only 231.33 yards on the Sunshine Ladies Tour this year. Considering the men in the field average at least 50 yards longer, the game is fairly well equalized.
She didn’t just win. She absolutely ripped the course and the field to shreds. She seems to have the game to join the LIV tour???
She is awesome, my new favourite lady golfer for sure!
Is she playing from the back tees? If not, this doesn't count.
PGA & LPGA need to do this
Do the men and women tee off from the same spot or do the women still get the closer tee box?
What a SAD JOKE! She won as a result of playing a course 1500 yards shorter than the men were playing! If they play from the same tees she would never make the cut. Just another pathetic attempt to make the womens game more exciting to the public. Womens pro golf is as boring and lame as womens pro basketball!
Fantastic. Different tees can equalize the challenge from 170-150 to tee, where all the traps are anyway. If PGA needs to 'innovate' would love to see some mixed M/F team events… could make the teams drawn from club sponsorship and have an F1 style manufacturer's cup, Taylormade v Callaway v Titleist, etc.
I was hoping she won from the same tees…now THAT would be something. Congrats to her. She golfed her ball better than the rest.
What a round. So impressive. She's a beast for sure.
I’m confused. Like I’m happy for the win I’m just confused on the logistics. The world tour is a coed tour? And what about the yardages on holes. How do we take the varriation in swing speeds of pro women and compare it to men playing 40-100 yards back…
She swings like if Cameron Champ was a woman
