• Hanson holds off Edberg for win in Sweden

  Hanson became the first Swedish player to win this event since Jesper Parnevik claimed victory in 1998. This was Hanson's first win on the European Tour since claiming victory at the 2005 Open de Espana en Andalucia.

  "It feels great, of course," said Hanson. "It's been a long wait for me." Heading into the par-three 18th, Hanson held a slim one-stroke lead. After Edberg put his tee shot just short of the green, Hanson fired his tee shot onto the green and left himself with a mid-range putt. Edberg's chip shot slowly rolled past the left side of the hole. He would tap in for par, allowing Hanson to two-putt his way to victory.
