Lost his card after a mixed 2010 season, but secured his return at the 2011 European Tour Qualifying School Final Stage and will next season attempt to better his previous best finish in The Race to Dubai of 65th – both in 2001 and 2008. In the latter season he notched his second European Tour win, in the Inteco Russian Open Golf Championship at the same Le Meridien Moscow Country Club venue where he had made his breakthrough victory in 2005. Finished ninth on the 2007 Challenge Tour Rankings, winning the Italian Federation Cup in the process. Made relatively slow progress over the first five years of his professional career, but first qualified for The European Tour through the Challenge Tour in 2000. Lost his card in 2003, but bounced back in some style by winning the 2005 Russian Open to earn a one-year exemption. Introduced to golf by his father Lars, a four handicapper. Got down to scratch by the age of 17, played for Sweden’s Boys side in 1988 and made the full national team three years later. Represented Sweden in the Eisenhower Trophy in Paris in 1994. Spent a year at junior college in Alabama between 1993 and 1994.
