2011 Swedish Champion: Markus Källström
Haninge, Sweden – It was a tight battle from start to finish at this weekend’s Swedish Open. Markus Källström was tied after two rounds, and three back after three rounds. Then he uncorked a 1070-rated fourth round, giving him a two-shot lead heading into the finals. Markus held on to the lead to claim the Open title by a single stroke. Skål!

Kallstrom now holds both the Swiss and Swedish Championship trophies for 2011. His 2011 resume also includes second place at the Copenhagen Open. Along with many other top players in the world, Markus will have his eye on the granddaddy of Euro titles, the European Open in Finland, just two weeks away.
