Marcus Mikael Kinhult (born 24 July 1996) is a Swedish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. He won the 2019 Betfred British Masters.

Early life

Being son of golf professional Mikael Kinhult, he started playing the game at six years of age at Skaftö Golf Club in Fiskebäckskil, on the small Swedish west coast island Skaftö with 1,400 inhabitants. Other famous members, spending a lot of time there during summer seasons, were future Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjørn, five-times European Tour winner Barry Lane and Challenge Tour winner to be Joel Sjöholm.[2]

Kinhults younger sister Frida Kinhult is also a tournament golf professional. In June 2019 she reached number one on the World Amateur Golf Ranking, a feat her brother never achieved, as his best world amateur ranking was second.[3]

Amateur career

In 2014 Kinhult represented Sweden at the Summer Youth Olympics and at the Eisenhower Trophy and Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup.[4] At the Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, he earned an individual silver medal and a gold medal in the mixed team event with Linnea Ström, making Sweden tied best nation at golf in the games.

The Swedish team finished 4th in the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy in Kuruizawa, Japan, with Kinhult finishing as best Swedish player, having the 6th best individual score, five strokes from winner Jon Rahm, Spain.

In April 2015, Kinhult won one of the more important junior tournaments in the United States, the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley Golf Club, South Carolina, becoming the first non-American to do so.[5] A month later, he won the prestigious Lytham Trophy at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, Lancashire, England, by eight shots, following in the footsteps of former winners, such as Michael Bonallack, Peter McEvoy, Paul Broadhurst and Stephen Gallacher.[6]

Kinhult again grabbed the golfing headlines in June 2015 when he led the European Tour's Nordea Masters at Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Stockholm, Sweden, at the halfway stage, after opening with rounds of 68 and 67. Only 18 years old, he ultimately tied for 33rd place in what was his second European Tour appearance.[4] He was the third amateur to lead a European Tour event after 36 holes, and the first since Ireland's Shane Lowry at the 2009 Irish Open, which Lowry went on to win.[6]

In late 2015 he entered the European Tour Qualifying School as an amateur. After finishing third in the second stage, he led after three rounds at the final stage, eventually settling for the 17th card. Though he had considered going to college in America, he turned professional after his success at PGA Catalunya Resort.[4]

Professional career

2016 was a disappointing first season for Kinhult on the European Tour and he only made two cuts. Halfway through the season he dropped down to the Challenge Tour where his best performance was at the Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge, where he held a two-shot lead heading into final round. He eventually finished fourth. Having entered the tournament in 68th place on the Road to Oman he needed a top-three finish to qualify for the Challenge Tour Grand Final.[7]

Kinhult had better success on the Challenge Tour in 2017. He had five top-5 finishes, earned a career best solo second at the NBO Golf Classic Grand Final, and finished 5th in the Road to Oman, which gained him his European Tour card for 2018. He started the 2018 European Tour strongly and after finishing solo third at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and tied for fifth at Open de France he rose to 148 on the Official World Golf Ranking and qualified for his first major at the 2018 Open Championship, where he made the cut.[8] Later in the season Kinhult was tied for 4th in the Portugal Masters and he ended the 2018 season 49th in the Order of Merit.

In May 2019, Kinhult secured his maiden professional victory at the Betfred British Masters at Hillside Golf Club, Southport, England.[9] With birdies on the last two holes of the tournament, rolling in an eight-foot birdie putt at the last hole, Kinhult out-dueled his playing partner Matt Wallace by a stroke and won a first prize of €579,550.

In June, at the Walton Heath U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Surrey, England, he qualified for the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach,[10] where he went on to record the lowest Sunday round of the tournament (66) to finish tied-32 in his first major on American soil.

In November 2019, Kinhult finished second in the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, after losing in a playoff to Tommy Fleetwood.[11] He finished the 2019 European Tour season 12th on the Order of Merit Race to Dubai rankings[12] and was awarded 2019 Swedish Golfer of the Year, male and female. In January 2020, he reached a career best 81st on the Official World Golf Ranking.

During a practice period in Spain in April 2021, Kinhult suddenly suffered an epileptic seizure, which caused him to take a break of several months from tournament golf.[13] Seven weeks after the incident, Kinhult played nine holes of practice golf at his home course Skaftö GC in Sweden. He came back to competition at the Irish Open on the European Tour in the beginning of July 2021.[14]

In February 2022, Kinhult won the GolfStar Winter Series II on the Nordic Golf League.[15]

In 2024, Kinhult recorded two runner-up finishes. He lost a playoff at the KLM Open in June,[16] and in December he began Sunday two strokes ahead of his closest challenger at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa, but ultimately finished a stroke back.[17]
