Linn Grant makes history as first woman to win on European Tour in mixed event's second year

For the first time in European Tour history, a woman is heading home with the trophy.

Linn Grant became the first female player to win when she led the field at the Scandinavia Mixed event on Sunday at Halmstad Golf Club in Sweden. And it wasn't close. She shot an 8-under 64 on Sunday and 24-under par overall, the best mark of the season on the DP World Tour. It was good enough to finish nine strokes ahead of Henrik Stenson and Marc Warren, who tied for second.

"[It's] huge," Grant said in the post-game TV interview.
