“I’m very happy and I don’t have any words. I’m just glad I made it, since I was in the lead.”
Forsström earned his DP World Tour card by winning at the Final Stage of Qualifying School in November and has recorded three top-10 finishes since.
“I think the course suits me very well, it’s pretty tight and short.
“I won on the Challenge Tour in Belgium, so I think Belgium is good!
“It’s pretty similar to Sweden, the trees and the grass, so I think I feel very at home here.
“I hope I can keep proving myself and that this wasn’t one time.”
