2019 Scandinavian Invitational Preview
Some of the European Tour’s best are gathering Gothenberg, Sweden for the 29th edition of the Scandinavian Invitational. Last year, Paul Waring defeated Thomas Aiken in a sudden-death playoff for his first European Tour victory, and he’s back to defend his title against an elite field. Headlining the field are Sweden-natives Henrik Stenson, winner of the2016 Open Championship, and Alex Noren, 10-time European Tour winner. Other notables in the field include 5-time European Tour winner Matthew Fitzpatrick, and last week’s runner-up Adri Arnaus.
Henrik Stenson: He decided to skip the FedEx Cup Playoffs so he could participate in this event. Not only has he finished runner up twice in this tournament (including a playoff loss to Mark Hensby), he has been resting and gearing up for the last two weeks.
