Robert Karlsson capped
a very impressive
2006 when the towering
6 feet 5 inch Swede
made a stellar Ryder
Cup debut, contributing
to Europe’s record-equaling
victory at The K Club.
During the past season,
the son of a greenskeeper
broke the European
Tour’s 36 and 54 hole
scoring records by
shooting 124 for the
first two rounds and
189 for the first
three rounds at the
Celtic Manor Wales
Open.
Karlsson became the
all-time most winning
Swedish golfer following
his two Tour titles
in 2006, one of them
taking place at the
highly prestigious
Deutsche Bank Players’
Championship of Europe.
Ranked fourth in
the year-end European
Tour Order of Merit
for 2006, a career
high, Karlsson has
an affinity for team
competitions in golf.
He is competing in
the Royal Trophy for
the first time. |
