Course record, 2nd on Race to Dubai, 25th consecutive cut made and very close a win!
Scandinavian Mixed 2024 was another great Tournament by Sebastian. Day 1 was excellent. Shooting -9 (63) and a new course record for Vasatorp.

This weekend Sebastian played his third Major, The PGA Championship. Probably the best field he ever played in, with all ranked top 100 players in the world competing.

First priority was to make the cut and YES! A great Friday, including a Hole in One on the eight hole! It was actually the first HiO at Valhalla on a PGA Championship since 1996!

Finishing T68 was not what we had hoped for but beeing the best in the field on Friday, Strokes Gained, Approach to  Green, and hitting 15/18 greens (ranked 4) was promising for rest of the season.

Sebastian’s success in the Asian swing gave him a place in the coming (16-19 May) Major tournament, U.S.PGA Championship, Valhalla GC, Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

The amazing results from the tour to Asia are:

T21 at the Porsche Singapore Classic
T2 at the Indian Hero Open
2nd at the ISPS Handa Championship in Japan
T3 at the Volvo China Open

For the second Tournament in a row Sebastian finish 2nd. Back to back runner up takes Sebastian to 1st place at the Asian swing and we look forward to the coming week and the Volvo China Open.

What an exciting tournament in India! T2 and lot of good points on the Race to Dubai ranking.

7 Birdies in the first 9!
9 birdies but also one quadruple bogey and one triple bogey on the first day.

It was a great round but with two unlucky holes.

2024 started with the International Swing. Sebastian played 5 weeks in a row, made 5 new cuts whereof 2 top 10’s. (Bahrain T6 and Ras Al Khaimah T9)

That means he played the weekend 19 tournaments in a row. Didn’t missed a cut since end of June 2023.

The 5 weeks on the road is now followed by 5 weeks of rest and practice. Well deserved!

2023 was Sebastian’s best season ever.
Of the 25 tournaments he played he had one 2nd place and another 5 top 10s and he finished 25th on Race to Dubai.

In addition, right before Christmas he picked another top 10, finishing T3 in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open on Mauritius. (belongs to the 2024 Race to Dubai)

For the second consecutive year, Sebastian qualified for the Tour Championship in Dubai with the 50 best players on the Tour.

Nedbank Golf Challenge, South Africa, is the last tournament to try to position yourself before the Tour Championship in Dubai. Sebastian had a very good week, finishing T6 and climbed 4 spots on the Race To Dubai ranking. (now 21).

23 birdies in three days!

Due to heavy rains The Dunhill Links Championship was shortened in to 3 rounds. At two of those Sebastian had the lowest score of the day.

Ella came to Switzerland and Crans Montana to watch her Godfather score some birdies.

Omega Masters! Crans Montana! Wow!

This course and this Tournament is really something special. Looking one way we could see great golf and looking the other way we were whatching astonishing breathtaking views.

With a great round on Sunday, only three players were better, Sebastian climbed the leaderboard and finished T10. It was his fourth Top Ten this season at Tahoe Mt. Club, Truckee, CA, USA

Scottish Open 2023 had a very competitive field with 8 players of the top 10 in the world. For three days Sebastian was playing world class golf. Only three players were better from Tee to Green (including the winner Rory McIlroy and worlds no 1 Scottie Scheffler). No-one had a better record in scrambling and sand saves.

Through the years, the results on Himmerland has not been so good but Made in Himmerland 2023 gave Sebastian 4 decent rounds and a good preparation for this weeks Scottish Open.

The final round of Scandinavian Mixed included some great up and downs. Finishing his round with a birdie from the green bunker, generated a huge roar from the big crowd at 18th green.

Scandinavian Mixed is now played for the third time. The unique tournament where the field is 50% DP World Tour and 50% LET (Ladies European Tour). Last years tournament was won by Linn Grant, by 9 strokes!!!!!, first female winner on the DP World Tour.

After 9 tournaments played this season Sebastian reached his 3rd top ten result.

That is of course a great first half of the season and he’s holding a 12th place on the Race to Dubai ranking at the moment.

Next tournament will be the KLM Open, in the Netherlands. His last visit in the Netherlands, in 2022, resulted in a 5th place at the Dutch Open.

After a few missed cuts, Sebastian bounced back in the Jonsson Workwear Open, in Steyn City, Johannesburg. It seems to be a course Sebastian likes. Finishing T9 this year was also a small improvement from last years T10.

After almost 3 months on the road Sebastian is home in Sweden for a three weeks brake before heading for two new venues on DP World Tour, Japan and South Korea. DP World Tour really lives up to the name.

Like last year, Black Mountain GC, at Hua Hin, Thailand, is hosting one of the Tournaments on the Asian Tour. As Black Mountain is Sebastian’s home, away from home, he likes to participate on his home course.
