SEOUL Swedish golfer Anna Magnusson still cannot believe that she is part of the field at the Aramco Team Series - Korea, after receiving an invite to play in the May 10- 12 tournament just over a week ago.
The 29-year-old received another surprise on the first day of the event as she shot a two-under 70, leaving her just two strokes behind first-round leader Kim Hyo-joo of South Korea. World No. 558 Magnusson has been working her way back into the game after battling health issues over the past year - she realised it was gluten intolerance only in January.
The results began to show on the Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa, as she attained three top-15 finishes in four events in 2024.
In April, she claimed her third professional victory at the Terre Blanche Ladies Open, which is part of the Ladies European Tour (LET) Access Series.
