Career

Hed turned professional in 1995 and joined the Swedish Golf Tour. In 1997, she came close to securing her maiden professional title, losing a playoff for the Volvo Anläggningsmaskiner Ladies Open. By 1999, she had hit her stride, recording nine top-10 finishes including two wins, and ended the 1999 season top of the Order of Merit. In 2000, she won four tournaments including the Felix Finnish Ladies Open, and in 2002, she won the Nykredit Ladies Open in Denmark.[2]

Hed finished fifth at Q-School to join the Ladies European Tour in 2000.[3] In the 2000 season on the LET, she only missed two cuts, at the Women's British Open and Ladies Italian Open, while recording top-10 finishes at the Ladies Irish Open and Ladies German Open, as well as a runner-up finish at the Ladies Austrian Open, one stroke behind Patricia Meunier-Lebouc.[4] She finished 15th on the LET Order of Merit, but lost out on the Rookie of the Year award to 28th placed Giulia Sergas, on account of having started five LET tournaments in 1998.[5]

In 2001, Hed made the cut at the 2001 Women's British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club. She recorded top-10 finishes at the Taiwan Ladies Open, WPGA Championship of Europe and Ladies German Open to finish 22nd in the LET Order of Merit.[5]

Hed lost the final of the 2008 Swedish Matchplay Championship to Anna Nordqvist, and retired from tournament golf in 2010.[6]
