En route to the title, she carded a course-record 62 in Round 2. Prior to the triumph, all three of her professional wins had come in 2016 on the Symetra Tour when she became the first player in the circuit’s history to exceed $150,000 in season earnings. In 2017, she was a captain’s pick by countrywoman Annika Sorenstam for the Solheim Cup. She played in the event again in 2021. As an amateur, she twice represented Sweden in the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship (2012, 2014). At LSU, she was the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year in 2015.
