Jarmo Sandelin
Edit ProfileCareer
In 1996, Sandelin played on the United States-based Professional Golf Association Tour, but made just one cut from 14 tournament starts during the season. He returned to Europe towards the end of the year with immediate success, winning the Madeira Island Open. He also made his only Ryder Cup appearance that year, but was only selected to play in the singles and lost his match.
Sandelin suffered a loss of form after the turn of the century which culminated in a return to qualifying school in 2005.
Having employed a coach for the first time in his career, he regained his European Tour card immediately. He has managed to maintain his playing status since, although sometimes by the narrowest of margins.
In 2007 he edged out Lee Slattery for the last automatic card for 2008 by just €77. European Tour wins (5) Challenge Tour wins (1) Other wins (2) DNP = Did not play CUT = Missed the half-way cut World Development = Withdrew "T" = tied Yellow background for top-10.
