The Swedes are coming … the Swedes are coming. Like the Swedish invasion of men’s tennis back in the 1980s, we are starting to see the influence great players like Annika Sorenstam, Liselotte Neumann and Helen Alfredsson have had on the game in the land of IKEA, ABBA and Volvo.
There are nine Swedes teeing it up this week at Walton Heath, and at least six of them have genuine chances of lifting the trophy. For mine, it’s between MAJA STARK and LINN GRANT (wouldn’t surprise if they finished one-two in a Swedish quinella). I’ll take GRANT … in a play-off.

When in doubt, go local. That worked for me at Celine Boutier at the Evian and I am hoping for much the same with GEORGIA HALL at Walton Heath.
Showed some tremendous form earlier…
