The Swedish golfer made history with her win on June 12.

Grant came in eight-under 64 for the Scandinavian Mixed tournament at the Halmstad Golf Club.

After her win, Grant stated that playing well against her male competitors was a motivating factor.

For sure, that was the most important thing!, Lynn Grant, via CNN.

It's a nice feeling and all week I've just felt it was the girls against the guys and whoever picked up the trophy was representing that side of the field, Lynn Grant, via CNN.

I just hope that people recognize women's golf more, sponsors go to the Ladies European Tour.

And, hopefully, this pumps up the women's game a little bit more, Lynn Grant, via CNN.

The Scandanavian Mixed event had been a part of the the DP World Tour since 1991.

However, the DP World Tour is a rebranding of the men's European Tour since 2020.

The tournament takes place over a grueling four days.

Grant stated that she didn't realize she was in the lead until near the end of the event.

I didn't see it (the lead) until the 13th green, where the screen was, and it was a little bit (of a shock), Lynn Grant, via CNN.

I thought maybe three or four ahead.
