(Ep 176) Michaela Finn

In this episode a couple weeks later than originally planned I was joined by LET Card Holder for this year Michaela Finn who called in from Ohio. Michaela splits her time between Jacksonville, Florida & Ohio and when she goes home to Sweden she resides outside of Brastad. In her time at Kent State University in Ohio, Michaela won 2017 Mid-American Conference Championship, 3x Mid-American Conference First Team Selection & participated in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship in 2019. Michaela has represented Sweden on a number of occasion as a Junior/Amateur having been as partner the National selection for 2012 European Young Masters, 2014 World Amateur Team Championship in Canada where she got a Silver Medal alongside Emma Svensson & Filippa Möörk, 2014 European Girls' Team Championship finishing 3rd & 2017 European Ladies' Team Championship finishing 3rd. Michaela turned Pro in 2019 and would win 2019 Åhus Open on Swedish Golf Tour defeating Sara Kjellker by 1 shot at Kristianstad Golf Club. In 2020 Michaela would join Symetra Tour (Epson Tour) but only played few events due to Covid Pandemic. In 2021 at Symetra Tour Championship Michaela would shoot a history making -11 61 a record she still co-holds to this day alongside Fatima Fernandez Cano. At 2024 LET Final Q School finals Finn would finish T8th to gain full Ladies European Tour membership for season 2025 which has resulted in a few starts this year. Interesting fact is that Michaela also works for Backswing Company raising over $7,000 for charity in one of her last fundraiser events. She also loves to cook and has her own special recipe for Traditional Swedish Meatballs. As always be sure to check it out if possible.
