Swedish 1-2 finish in Dixie Men's Amateur
NEWS RELEASE
When the Swedish men's golf team entered the Dixie Amateur, the prospects of one of them winning were pretty good.
As it turned out, the 1-2 positions went to two Swedish players, Hannes Ronneblad and Marcus Svensson. It was Ronneblad that emerged with the trophy, after establishing a three-stroke lead over his team-mate after the third round at TPC Eagle Trace, Florida.
In Tuesday's final round at Heron Bay, the pair had matching, five-under 67s. Ronneblad birdied the second and third holes to send a message about his intention for the day, answering Svensson's first hole birdie and extending his lead to four strokes.
Svensson came back with an eagle at the par-5 fourth, and the pair traded off birdies the rest of the way.
They matched each other several times too, and had a better-ball score of nine-under 63.
Ronneblad's tournament total was eight-under par 280 for the 72 holes. That's excellent, considering the rain that pelted South Florida with anywhere from 8-16 inches over the last seven days.
Wet, long-playing courses combined with high winds spelled difficulty at the two championship lay-outs that host the Dixie.
For Texas Tech University student Ronneblad, the victory continues an upswing in his golf achievements. In the 2014-2015 campaign, he achieved First-Team Academic All-Big 12 honors, won his first individual title, and recorded six top-10s.
Now he can call himself the Dixie Amateur champion as his name gets placed on a historic tournament trophy.
