Madelene Sagstrom reflects on her victory in the T-Mobile Match Play 2025

Sagstrom had a phenomenal comeback in the T-Mobile Match Play after her struggles this season on the LPGA Tour. Before the Match Play, she played in three events and missed the cut in two of them.

But the T-Mobile Match Play was phenomenal for the Swedish golfer, and she finally seized the title. In the post-round press conference, Madelene Sagstrom reflected on her victory, saying (via ASAP Sports):

"I worked so hard. All of us work so hard. I really struggled quite a lot, especially with my driver end of last year, and I worked so hard with Callaway and my coach, Hans.I feel so comfortable standing over the ball at the moment, and most the times it comes out nice.

"It's just such a nice feeling. I played pretty well last week and didn't make the cut, but it's just like it's hard because everyone works hard because it's tough out here. It's just fantastic feeling and it's just knowing that all the hard work really did pay off," she added.

Madelene Sagstrom had started the 2025 season on the LPGA Tour at the Founders Cup, but she missed the cut and then settled in solo 59th place at the Honda LPGA Tour, but again missed the cut at the Ford Championship before winning the Match Play event.

Before the 2025 T-Mobile Match Play, she won her maiden LPGA Tour event at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, where she registered a one-stroke win over Nasa Hataoka in 2020.
