In the third of a new European Challenge Tour series, we find out a bit more about one of the leading lights of the 2016 season, Road to Oman Rankings Number Five, Alexander Björk.
Best round of golf you’ve ever played?
I have made 62 three times – two times on the Challenge Tour and once on the Nordic Golf League. Most recently I made this score in Italy this year.
Dream fourball (yourself plus three)?
I would go for Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson.

That is Sea Island Golf Club, in the United States. It was really good.

I would say Augusta.
Which Major Championship would you most like to win?
The Open Championship.
Which shot from your career would you like a mulligan on?
Tough choice but I would say my second shot at the 18th during my third round at the Nordea Masters this year. I went on to make a double-bogey six.
Favourite film?
Any James Bond movie!
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Tiger Woods – I’ve always wanted to meet him.

Los Angeles.

Either The Alps to go skiing or Thailand.

Usain Bolt – you can’t go wrong with the fastest man in the world.
