Loddekopinge - Annika Sorenstam's namesake golf tournament will move to her home course outside Stockholm next year, organisers said on Sunday.
The Ladies European Tour, which completed the inaugural Scandinavian TPC hosted by Annika on Sunday at the Barseback course in southern Sweden, will stage the event next season at the Bro-Balsta course the week after the Women's British Open in July.
"It's exciting news," Sorenstam said. "I grew up at (nearby) Bro and Bro-Balsta is the club where I started to play golf. I remember when the club just started. It had only six holes. Me and my sister and my parents were out there picking up rocks.

"We've been there from the beginning. We started with tents and trailers and here we're going to come with everybody. I think it's a pretty neat story."

Bro-Balsta chairperson Christer Nilsson said it was the "biggest thing in the club's history since the late Prince Bertil's opening shot at inauguration day".
