2023: 4/9 - Runner-up in Crans Montana!
Björk had a great week in the Swiss Alps,
being runner-up in Omega Masters. All throughout the tournament
he was very solid from tee, approached the greens strategically
and putted well. He scored: 65, 64, 68, 66 and finished -17.
Out of 18 tournaments that he has played so far this season,
he currently has 8 top 10's and it's fun to see his improvements
of almost all areas since last season.
The placement of this tournament also gave him a jump up
on the world rankings where he is currently placed 75th.
2023: 28/7 - His best The Open (so far)
Björk really enjoyed playing The Open last week at Royal Liverpool
in Scotland and also made his best The Open performance so far. Björk was very steady
from tee, hitting most fairways and also had a nice feeling on longer puts, keeping
them close to the hole. He scored a total of +2 (69-73-70-74) and finished 41th.
He was up top 20 during the tournament but fell through a bit during foremost the last round.
Although not being able to finish exactly the way he wanted to, he takes
a lot of good things with him for upcoming tournaments. Next up will be in Prague, August 24th.
2023: 9/7 - Top five in Denmark!
Björk played impressively well during the last two rounds
of made in Himmerland, where he moved from 26th to 4th place.
During the third round he managed to score a 63 (-7), making five birdies, one
eagle and the rest pars. He finished with a total of -11, only two strokes behind the winner.
This result put him up to 7th spot on the tour rankings and he currently
has the best season average score rank of all the players.
Next up for Björk is Scottish Open, attracting many world top players
as it's just the week before The Open.
Björk is currently on his way and is excited for two more weeks on tour!
2021: 21/11 - Fabolous day in Dubai!
We are happy, excited and very very proud of the way Björk
played in the tour final. He really showed what a great golfer he is and that
he is able to handle both pressure and nerves. He avoided trouble, getting only five
bogeys during the entire week on the both long and tricky Earth course.
He also scored many birdies, ending -14. Most impressively was the 2,5 meter put on the
eighteenth green today to finish as the runner-up. He showed that he belongs up
in the top and that he has an incredible high level within him.
As this ends the season of 2021, we couldn't be more excited to see what the 2022 season awaits!
30/8 - Top 15 in Switzerland
Björk had a very good week in Crans Montana, finishing 13th spot (-8).
He started off well with a bogey free round (-3) and continued the second round with
a few ups-and-downs, including both an eagle and a double bogey (-1).
A third round on par and he was just below 30th spot before
rising through the starting field on the last day after 5 birdies on the last nine holes (-4).
15/2 - 2021 Season up and running!
Now a new season has started and it looks far more
promising than 2020. Many tournaments are planned for the year, despite current
situations and hopefully spectators can be added eventually as well.
There will be one Swedish tournament this year, in Gothenburg, Vallda G&CC.
New for the year are also two tournaments on the Canary Islands this spring.
Björk is well prepared for another season and says that his goal is to be
a winner once more. Let's hope this turn out a good year!

6/3 - Course record!
Björk had an amazing second round at Qatar Open on Education City GC. He finally got all of his game together and played solid from the tee as well as putted very good.
