Henrik Bjørnstad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henrik Bjørnstad (born 7 May 1979 in Lørenskog, Norway) became the first Norwegian on the PGA Tour when he qualified with a tied 13th place at the 2005 PGA Qualifying Tournament. Bjørnstad has previously played on the European Tour, 1999 and 2001 to 2004. In the summer of 2004, Bjørnstad left the tour after losing his motivation. He took a break from the golf circus and started working as a carpenter. After staying away for almost 10 months, Bjørnstad got his motivation back and started appearing on the Norwegian P4 Tour. Over a year after he last played a tournament on the European Tour, Bjørnstad got a sponsor exemption at the Scandinavian Masters tournament in Sweden and finished at a tied 18th place.
