Magnus Persson Atlevi
Swedish golfer
Magnus Persson Atlevi (born 26 July 1965) is a Swedish professional golfer. He competed as Magnus Persson, during the main part of his career on the regular tours, until his marriage to Elisabeth Atlevi in 1999. Persson won three times on the Challenge Tour and twice on the European Senior Tour. He also lost in playoffs, twice on the European Tour and once on the PGA Tour of Australia.
Amateur career
As a golf prodigy, Persson became a scratch player at age 15, at the time the youngest ever in Sweden, and at 16 reached a +1 handicap, as one of just four players in the country. At just 15 years of age, Persson finished runner-up and low foreign contestant at the 1980 Orange Bowl International Junior Championship in Coral Gables, Florida, after winning a playoff for second place with Stephen Ames and Paul Way. The year after, he repeated his low foreign contestant finish at Orange Bowl, again after a playoff against Stephen Ames, and a total sixth place.
Persson won the European final of the 1981 Doug Sanders International Junior Championship, for players up to 18 years of age, at Hazlehead Golf Club, Scotland.
His last year playing as an amateur, he qualified for the 1982 Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club, aged only 16. This year, he also won the amateur tournament Martini Cup at Rya Golf Club, Helsingborg, Sweden, with a 72-hole score 8 under par and the Swedish Junior Stroke-play Championship at the same course.
