Team Gustavsson triumphed at the Aramco Team Series – New York as they recorded a final round of 17-under-par to secure a one-stroke victory.
After starting the day in a share of fourth place, Johanna Gustavsson, Jessica Karlsson, Karolin Lampert and amateur Jennifer Rosenberg came out firing on day two at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point.
The quartet began the day on seven-under-par and produced a blistering front nine to reach the turn in 10-under before going seven-under on the back nine for a winning total of 24-under-par.
It was a first LET title for Gustavsson and Karlsson, while it is back-to-back victories in the Team event in New York for Lampert who was part of Team Jessica Korda in 2021.
Captain Gustavsson said: “It’s a win. It’s a team win and it’s just great to celebrate with the others and the joy is so much better when you share it as well.
“It’s just been great and having Jennifer with us as well, she’s got a bright future and is turning pro soon, and I think we’ll see her again.”
“It was a very different team to last year,” said Lampert. “I think we had a great team spirit, all of us together. We have played a lot of rounds before with each other. We had a great amateur as well, she was great to play with, and it’s always nice to be on the winning side.
“Yesterday we hadn’t even teed off and Jen said, ‘Guys, we are going to win this’ and we all looked at each other. It was blowing hard on the first and no one really said anything, then we didn’t have the best start yesterday but on the back nine we started to make some putts and some birdies. Today was very good and all the other teams were looking at our score like what the hell are they doing.”
Karlsson added: “It was so much fun. We had so much fun the last couple of days. It’s great to share it with someone, so really good to get the win with the team.”
Team Nelly Korda led by the world number four alongside Finland’s Noora Komulainen, France’s Celine Herbin and amateur James Rawson finished in second place on 23-under-par.
