Career

Westin grew up in Borås and began playing at the age of seven. She was accepted to the Scandinavian School of Golf at Halmstad University in 2011, and turned pro the following year.[2] She played on the Swedish Golf Tour between 2011 and 2013.

In 2014 Westin joined the LET Access Series where she found immediate success, winning the Sölvesborg Ladies Open in Sweden, the HLR Golf Academy Open in Finland, where she won by a record breaking 11 shots,[1] and the following week claimed her third win at the Mineks & Regnum Ladies Classic in Turkey.[3] With a top-ten finish at the ultimate event of the season, the WPGA International Challenge in England, she secured the number one spot in the 2014 LET Access Series Order of Merit ahead of Lina Boqvist, and graduated to the Ladies European Tour.[4]
