With a Swedish winner and global television coverage, the Melwood Prince George's County Open took its place as a worldwide sporting event. The tournament provided "a tremendous opportunity to highlight Prince George's County, the state of Maryland, our corporate partners, but most importantly, our host charity, Melwood," to a worldwide audience, said Teo Sodeman, tournament director. When Mathias Gronberg of Sweden sank his final putt June 7 to score a tournament-record 269, he did so before a worldwide television audience. To a round of applause at the award ceremony, Gronberg told the crowd, "It was a very special day for me that I will remember forever. I want to thank Melwood. There might be a check in the future from me!" The third annual Melwood Prince George's County Open became one of only 16 PGA Nationwide Tour events to be televised each year on the Golf Channel. "We are excited that Mathias is so attuned to our mission," said Janice Frey-Angel, Melwood President/CEO, "and we want to thank Prince George's County, the State of Maryland and all the corporate sponsors, volunteers and spectators who supported this event and in doing so, support opportunities for people with disabilities." Planning for the 2010 event is already underway. The 2010 tournament will welcome 156 professional golfers to the Country Club at Woodmore in Mitchellville, Maryland, where they will compete for a share of a $700,000 purse, with $126,000 going to the champion.
