For Sagstrom, this marks the fourth time she’s held the 36-hole lead and the first since the 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open.
Now in her eighth season on tour, the three-time Solheim Cup player enjoyed playing alongside fellow Swede Ludvig Aberg last December at the Grant Thornton Invitational. The pair, who have known each other for a decade and share the same swing coach, attended the same sporting high school in Sweden, though not at the same time. Sagstrom’s fiancé Jack Clarke, caddied for Aberg last year.
“I bring experience to the game. I know how to pace myself, kind of how I work the best,” she said. “That takes years to figure out. How often do you play, how much do you play, where do I play better?
“We added really good stuff to each other’s games, but I do wish I had a little bit of that fearless mind. Like he goes for everything, he does not care yet. Hopefully, he never cares. No, it’s very impressive.”
