The Volvo Cars Scandinavian Combined is a unique event with competitors from the LET and DP World Tour competing for the same prize. However, the final of the 2024 event will be even more special thanks to a pairing of one of the competitors.
LET star Olivia Cowan and DP World Tour pro Todd Clements are in a relationship, according to Ben Coley of Sporting Lifethey have been paired together and at 8:45 a.m. local time, they will begin the final round.
As far as I know, Clements and Cowan are the only crossover pair in the Scandinavian Mixed and they will be in the same group tomorrow. That's great.June 8, 2024
The pair each shot 71 in the third round of the tournament at Vasatops Golf Club in Sweden and are now tied for 50th at three under. Before the elimination rounds, there were 78 men from the DP World Tour and 78 women from the LET.
However, Sebastian Soderberg’s 66 put him 18 shots ahead of the two players on the leaderboard, so the chances of either player taking home the trophy and the $330,330 first prize were slim.
Kirwan, whose only LET Tour win was at the 2022 Hero Women's Indian Open, previously caddied for Clements, the 2023 D+D Czech Masters champion. However, this is believed to be the first time they have teamed up in a tournament.

Germany's Cowan and Britain's Clements are not the only couple competing in this week's tournament. American Sean Crocker is dating Sweden's Isabella Delight. However, while Crocker, the 2022 Hero Open champion, entered the final round and started at one under par, Delight did not have much success and failed to qualify after two rounds at 12 over par.
Soderberg starts at 1:10 pm local time, vying for a second DP World Tour title alongside Scotsman Callum Hill, who is eight shots behind him on the leaderboard.
