Joakim Lagergren (born 15 November 1991) is a Swedish professional golfer who currently plays on the Challenge Tour having previously played on the European Tour.[1]

Professional career

Lagergren turned professional in 2010 and initially played his golf on the Nordic mini-tours picking up his first win at the 2010 Landskrona Masters on the Nordic Golf League.[2]

He earned his playing rights on the 2011 Challenge Tour at qualifying school and played 13 events[3] before returning to qualifying school at the end of 2011 where he earned his playing rights for the European Tour in 2012.[1] During this season on the Challenge Tour, Lagergren continued to play in the Nordic League winning the 2011 ECCO Spanish Open.[2]

During his first season on the European Tour, Lagergren played in 17 events finishing 140th in the Race to Dubai narrowly missing out on automatically retaining his tour card for 2013,[4] however a second consecutive strong performance at qualifying school meant that he did regain his playing rights on the European Tour for 2013.[1]

During 2013, Lagergren had an unsuccessful season on the European Tour and lost his playing rights at the end of the season, returning to the Challenge Tour for the 2014 season.[1] However the season was not entirely unsuccessful as Lagergren gained his third win in the Nordic League by winning the 2013 Isaberg Open[2] and at the Marbella Club Golf Resort on the Gecko Pro Tour.[5]

In 2014, Lagergren got his first win on the Challenge Tour at the Northern Ireland Open Challenge.[2][6]
