Four players are tied for the lead through three rounds of the Scandinavian Mixed, and it’s an equal representation. Alice Hewson and Caroline Hedwall both stand at 12 under at Vallda Golf and Country Club in Gothenburg, Sweden, and so do Rhys Enoch and Jason Scrivener.
Equal representation at the top of the leaderboard is the best endorsement you could make for the opportunity this tournament provides.
Wind made conditions difficult in the third round, but Hewson persevered. She birdied three of her final four holes for a third-round 69 and is enjoying every minute.
“I am having a lot of fun this week,” Hewson said. “That’s been something I’ve really kind of worked on from the beginning of this season. . . . Playing with the men has been so much fun. They’ve all made me feel exceptionally welcome.”
The former Clemson star is looking for her second Ladies European Tour win. Hedwall, meanwhile, is a six-time LET winner and was the 2010 NCAA individual champion. She walked away from Saturday’s third round please with the course setup.
“They’ve obviously set it up really well for us. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow,” she said.
The tournament concludes Sunday.
