The Swingin' Swedes: How Fransson, Konradsson and Wetterqvist Are Finding Success on the ODU Men's Golf Team

The Old Dominion men's golf team consists of nine players from three different countries. One-third of the team's players are from Sweden, a Scandinavian country that is known for having long, cold winters and cooler summers, a climate that you wouldn't expect golfers to emerge from.

But here they are, Gustav Fransson, Rasmus Konradsson and Filip Wetterqvist, all members of the ODU men's golf team that despite having its spring season cut short, had a very successful campaign and carries momentum into the upcoming fall. This season, the Monarchs won their first tournament since the 2016-2017 season and earned four top-five finishes, their most in three years despite only competing in six events.
