Iconic Swedish duo Henrik Stenson and Fanny Sunesson have been reunited for this week’s LIV Golf event in Dallas and are set to team-up at The Open. The former Claret Jug winner has enlisted the services of the legendary looper for the event with his current regular bagman Marcus Larsson unavailable due to commitments in his homeland. Sunesson became the first female caddie to win a Major when working alongside Sir Nick Faldo and secured a total of four of the biggest events in the game forming a phenomenal partnership with the Englishman through a glittering period together in the 1990s. The 58-year-old, who worked with Howard Clark, Sergio Garcia and Stenson for five years between 2006 and 2011 in a period where the Ryder Cup star won the Dubai Desert Classic, the WGC-Match Play and Players Championship. The partnership resumes once again in Texas and reports on livgolf.com state it will be continuing next month at Royal Portrush for the 153rd Championship. Sunesson retired in 2012 to coach, but continued to be involved in big events having come out of retirement on occasions, notably to work alongside Australian golfer Adam Scott at the 2018 Open at Carnoustie. Following that, Stenson and Sunesson paired up again at the 2019 Masters at Augusta and are also combined each summer for their annual Stenson Sunesson Junior Challenge in Sweden. That event has prompted this move with Larsson heavily involved in its operation and the 2016 Open winner, who grabbed the title after a famous battle with Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon, gave insight into the situation as he explained: “He couldn’t really get away this week. “He had to hang back and take care of the logistics. So Fanny is out here. It’s a certain comfort level to have her on the bag. It always is when you’ve got someone you work with for many years and you know well. “In particular, she’s a perfectionist. “She always wants to make sure that she knows every possible question that might come her way. Preparation is one of the lead words for her. “Just great to catch up with her. On the golf course, we end up talking about a lot of other things than necessarily if a seven-iron was three yards long or three yards short. It’s kind of relaxing that way. You switch off in between shots.” Sunesson is delighted to be back on the job and said: “I’m a rookie again, right? It’s a new place and a new tour. “It’s nice to be back with Henrik. I’m loving it. “He’s a good friend and when you have good friends, it’s like you might not talk to that friend for months, but it feels like yesterday when you do. “Very, very happy to be here with him.”
