Speaking after her historic win, Grant, whose grandfather was a Scottish golf professional who emigrated to Sweden, said: “I’m so happy that I’m playing at home, just to see all my family here and everyone that I care about is watching, so it’s really nice. I was actually surprisingly calm on the first tee. My first day with Annika was my most scary and stressful one, but today I was very calm and relaxed.”
She added: “I hope this victory brings more attention to women’s golf and it gets people’s eyes on us a little bit more. It is always nice to say that you beat the guys! All week I just felt like it’s the girls against the guys and whoever picks up that trophy represents the field.”
Runner-up and tournament host Henrik Stenson added: “There was just one player out there today and she played amazing. Every time I looked back Linn was in prime position and just gave herself birdie chance after birdie chance, so there wasn’t much I could do against a player like that, so very well played and congratulations to Linn.”
