Sweden's Linn Grant made history on Sunday when she became the first female winner of a European men's tour event with a nine-shot triumph at the Scandinavian Mixed. The tournament, featuring men from the DP World Tour circuit and women from the Ladies European Tour (LET) all playing the same course, saw the 22-year-old Swede claim her third title in just six starts this season. "I just hope that people recognise women's golf, more sponsors go to the LET and hopefully this pumps up the women's game a little bit more," she said.
History was made in Sweden on Sunday, as Linn Grant thrilled her home fans by becoming the first woman to win a DP World Tour event. The Scandinavian Mixed event was set up to allow men and women to compete on an equal footing, with the tournament co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and Ladies European Tour.
