David Law 'excited' to tee up in Scandinavian Mixed on return to Halmstad
Law is among six Scots in the field at Halmstad Golf Club in Tylösand, where players from the DP World Tour and Ladies European Tour are battling it out over the same course for one prize fund and one trophy.
“I’m excited,” said the Aberdonian, who is flying the Scottish flag along with Marc Warren, Craig Howie, Gabrielle Macdonald, Kylie Henry and Michele Thomson. “I didn’t play this event last year, so it was an obvious one to throw back into the schedule.

Won by Northern Ireland’s Jonathan Caldwell, the inaugural staging of the event last year was a huge success.
“I don’t really know, to be honest, because I’ve never done it before,” added Law, who has Swede Julia Engstrom in his group for the opening two rounds, to being asked what he was expecting. “But it will be fun to see how the girls attack the golf course.
“I think they can be a little bit better course management than us - a bit more strategic - so it will be interesting to see how we both attack it.”

“It is fantastic,” said Law of the duo hosting the event. “Annika is the best and Henrik has also been one of best players in the world for a long time and, of course, is our Ryder Cup captain now.
“For those two to host the players this week is appreciated massively and I always think you can tell when a tournament is hosted by a player. We seem to be looked after a little bit better and that’s no different this week.”
