Adam Redmond Svensson (born December 31, 1993) is a Canadian professional golfer.[2]
Amateur career
Svensson was born in
Toyota Junior Golf World Cup and silver at the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy in Karuizawa, Japan, together with Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith. He shot a bogey-free course-record 7-under par 64 in final round to win the 2012 Canadian Boys Junior Championship at Osprey Ridge Golf Club in Nova Scotia.[4]
Svensson left his mark in collegiate golf at NCAA Division II
NCAA Division II Men's Golf Team Championships in 2013 and 2014. He won the Phil Mickelson Award as Most Outstanding Freshman in 2013 and was named the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year in 2013/14. Svensson was the third-ranked amateur in Canada prior to his pro announcement.[5]
Professional career
In 2015 Svensson left college after his junior year to turn professional and play on the
Club Car Championship in March 2021.[2] In August 2021, Svensson won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship as part of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. While he had already secured a PGA Tour card for next season, the win improved Svensson's priority status for the PGA Tour in the 2021–22 season.[7]
In November 2022, Svensson won his first PGA Tour event at the RSM Classic, shooting a six-under 64 in the final round to beat Brian Harman, Callum Tarren and Sahith Theegala by two shots.[8]
