When Broberg, 37, came to the last of a total of 108 qualifying holes on Wednesday afternoon, he was in desperate need of a birdie to break into the top 25 who will be granted playing rights on the tour next year. The Stockholmer kept his nerves under control, made a birdie and finished the qualifier tied for 22nd on a total of 14 strokes under par after six rounds.
Injured Broberg took the second victory of his career at the DP World Tour in the Netherlands in 2021, but this season was forced to step down to the Challenge Tour. In any case, this summer he got the chance in the European Tour competition at home in Ullna, and then told TT about his injury problems despite three hip operations.
— I feel bad about the ball. Locked. I feel like I can barely swing back. I have no feeling on my left side and it feels like I’m only standing on my right foot. It’s insanely difficult and tough mentally, he said then.
Now, in any case, the game was enough to make a comeback on the DP World Tour. Out of a total of nine Swedes in the final qualifier, only Broberg managed to secure a tour card.
