Though he is still in his early years in the sport, Pontus has added some distinguished accomplishments to his bio. Last year he won the GCAA Division II PING All-Southeast Region and was a Medalist at the South Atlantic Conference Championship. In 2022, he was also part of the South Atlantic Conference All-Tournament Team and All-South Atlantic Conference Third Team. 

Pontus’ college golf and being a caddie for Linn

As a freshman, he has a long list of golf achievements to boast about. In his first year at college, he made one top-5 finish and one top-10 placement. He has also played in six events during freshman season and competed in overall 18 rounds. He was placed in the top 10 at the Matlock Collegiate Classic with a three-round 221. As regards the 2020-21 season, he participated in the Argonaut Invitational where he achieved a 71 (-1) in the third round. He also brought glory to his college by leading them to finish the runner-up position at the SAC Championship by carding a three-round 220 (+4).

Grant placed immense trust in Pontus when she chose him as his caddie. Since Linn made her debut Pontus has been her caddie at multiple events guiding her and extending endless support which has further strengthened their relationship on course and off course.

In the last few years, Grant has participated in some major events like the Arnold Palmer Cup. In 2018, she won the sectional qualification 2018 US Women’s Open and gave a good performance. In the same year, she also participated in US Open and she finished tied for 57th.

She has also participated in many events of the Ladies European Tour and is doing fairly well. And Pontus has been there sometimes as a caddie for her and at other times as a supporting figure at the stands. Last year he was part of Linn’s big victory at the Scandinavian Mixed Event in June. Outside of the sport, the couple spends some quality time together.

Their adorable romance is evident through these pictures that Linn shares on Instagram with her fans from time to time.

Moving ahead of the caddie life

This year in March, Pontus accompanied her on the green for the last time as her caddie. When the European Tour took a seven weeks’ break, Grant went to South Korea to play in two tournaments there. This was the last time Pontus caddied for Linn, which he gave up to concentrate on his career. About this separation, Grant had previously said: “It’s a bit of a mixed feeling. Boring of course and not being able to travel together every week and experience everything together. At the same time, it feels fun to take a new step and start working with someone who is already a professional caddie.”

One only has to look at Grant’s Instagram profile to get an idea of how much she enjoyed traveling around for tournaments with Samuelson. She often posted pictures and videos of them traveling around, catching flights, and preparing for the next event.

Samuelson for his part appears to be very shy and has a private Instagram account. But his Insta bio has the mention of Linn with a heart emoji, signaling his strong feelings toward her. Besides being golf and life partners, Linn and Samuelson are also good friends who are always there for each other.
