From Boston to London and then to Virginia, Madelene Sagstrom had a whirlwind few weeks. Yet, the European Solheim Cupper calls it ‘perfect.’ She was in Boston for the FM Championship, the last preparation before the Virginia showdown. Then it was a flight to the UK to walk down the aisle with her long-time boyfriend. And now she is back in the USA for the Solheim Cup.

Sagstrom married Jack Clarke last Saturday. Actually, the Swede pulled out of the final round of the FM Championship. The Sunday round was delayed, which might have made them miss the most important flight of their life. On Saturday, they tied the knot, and on Sunday, both were ready for the next stop: Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

The Ladies European Tour posted on their Instagram handle, “Married on Saturday, head to Solheim Cup on Sunday 💍🤍.” Indeed, it’s the ultimate honeymoon in Virginia for Sagstrom and her husband.

In a chat with the LET media team, the 31-year-old said, “I get to do the two things I love, two weeks in a row. I get to spend time with my family, with your (Jack Clarke) family, with all our friends, and I get to play in the most prestigious events as a European.”

“I have slightly stressed out the past few weeks just trying to make things as perfect as I can.” Nevertheless, this is a new week, and she feels better, freer, and more exuberant. Sagstrom and her husband, who also caddies for fellow Solheim Cupper, Anna Nordqvist, have only the Solheim Cup in mind.

Best wedding gift for Madelene Sagstrom? Take a guess

Undoubtedly, when you are playing at the Solheim Cup a week after getting married, the question of the wedding gift comes along. Asked if a victory would be the best wedding gift, Sagstrom can’t contain her excitement at the thought of it. “Honestly, then… then you can’t script any better. That would be insane.”

She is content with the trophy of a team–a four-peat for Europe. Madelene Sagstrom emphasizes the atmosphere inside the locker room can’t be any better. The players are pumped up to repeat the heroics of Toledo. “It would be great to do a four-peat,” adds Jack Clarke standing beside her. 

The 2024 Solheim Cup kickstarts this Friday. Madelene Sagstrom went 1-1-1 last year. Her Solheim Cup record stands at 3-5-1. She will certainly look to improve that stat.
