“I feel like we’ve had a battle on and off throughout the year and it would be sad to have it be over already.” Grant said.
“I’m glad it made it to the final event, and we’ll give it a good go this week. I feel like it was supposed to be this way, it feels good.”
Grant and her compatriot Maja Stark joined battle on Thursday for a two-way duel to be crowned the Ladies European Tour’s No. 1 player for 2022.
Grant entered the final round of the season, knowing all she had to do was finish higher than Stark, in order to win the elusive competition.
With four wins to her name in 2022, Grant fired an eight-under 65 in the final round of an event won by compatriot Caroline Hedwall.
Stark finished on 13 under after a final-round 68, leaving her four shots behind Grant, who is the fifth player to win both the Order or Merit and Rookie of the Year titles.
