Despite Falling in Love With Something Else, Linn Grant Made the ‘Right Pick,’ by Ignoring Her Heart Over Brain, Her Father Once Exclaimed

A talented Swedish golfer, Linn Grant is a big name in the women’s golfing world. She is at present leading the Greater Toledo LPGA Classic after three rounds. Turning professional in 2021, she had a memorable year in 2022 as she went on to win four Ladies European Tour titles. Moreover, the female pro golfer became the first female player to win a DP World Tour Event. Anyone’s success in life can be attributed to the choices one makes leading to it. The same was the case with Grant as she claimed the historic win.

As the then 22-year-old had won her third LET title, her father had opened up about how his daughter had made her decisions in life by following logic and rational thinking rather than being driven by emotions. The golfing world was hit with a wave of surprise as John Grant revealed the truth behind her choices which led to her success.

The key decision taken by Linn Grant!

After her win in the 2022 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed, Linn Grant’s father had opened up about her choices which led her to the historic win. He went on to talk about her choice of schools and how that made all the difference in her journey.

The successful businessman revealed how his daughter had the choice of going to any school. As the pro golfer did not want to focus too much on academics, she made two lists of different schools and graded them as per the checklist of things she wanted. “She actually put schools like UCLA, USC, Stanford and Wake Forest on the B list because, in Linn’s mind, those were schools where (academics) would take too much time.” The A list included LSU, Alabama, Arizona State and Florida. These were the schools that Grant preferred as they were able to balance studies and golf.

 Although most of the schools they visited had a rich history, especially Oklahoma State, Grant went ahead and chose Arizona State in the end. Talking about her pick, John said: “If Linn had picked with her heart, she would have picked LSU. She fell in love with LSU”. He continued: “But she picked with her brain and chose Arizona State, which was absolutely the right pick.”

History-maker Linn Grant at Volvo Scandinavian Mixed

In the 2022 Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed, the Swedish golfer beat all the other golfers including her male counterparts to go on and win the event. In the historic display of gender equality, the female golfer was able to put on an imperturbable display of golf to claim her third LET title aside from the Joburg Ladies Open and Mithra Belgian Ladies Open.

Turning professional just a year before, Grant was able to turn in a 24-under par and win the event by the biggest margin on the DP World Tour in the particular season. Swedish counterpart Henrik Stenson finished second alongside Marc Warren from Scotland at 15-under while Annika Sorenstam failed to make the cut. The female pro golfer was able to score five birdies in the first six holes on the fourth day which helped her in stretching her lead tremendously.
