Career

Gustavsson finished in fourth place at the Lalla Aicha Ladies European Tour School pre-qualifying in 2014, but narrowly missed out at the final stage, and joined the 2015 LET Access Series. She won her first professional event, the 2015 Larvik Ladies Open, in a record-breaking 14-hole sudden-death playoff against Natalia Escuriola Martinez of Spain. Both players recorded an opening bogey on the first playoff hole, the 368 yard par-4 9th at Larvik Golf Club in Norway, which they played three times before alternating between the 1st and 9th holes until the 10th extra hole. They then moved back to the 9th hole until Gustavsson was able to break the deadlock on the 14th extra hole with a birdie three.[2]

The Larvik Ladies Open victory, dual-ranked between the LET Access Series and the Swedish Golf Tour, helped Gustavsson win the 2015 Swedish Golf Tour Order of Merit and place fourth on the LETAS Order of Merit, securing her card for the 2016 Ladies European Tour.

In 2017, she was runner-up at the Jabra Ladies Open, earning entry to her first major, the 2017 Evian Championship, where she did not make the cut.[1]

Gustavsson represented her country at the 2018 European Golf Team Championships, teaming up with Oscar Florén, Daniel Jennevret and Julia Engström to win the bronze medal in the mixed team competition.

In 2019, she ended the season ranked 46th on the LET Order of Merit.[1]
