Golf career

Andersson Hed was born in Halmstad. He turned professional in 1992. He has had two victories on the Challenge Tour but found success hard to come by on the main European Tour, where he had to return to qualifying school on numerous occasions. He was known as Fredrik Andersson until his marriage in 2004 when he added his wife's surname.
Andersson Hed won his first European Tour title at the 2010 BMW Italian Open at Royal Park, outside Turin, on his 245th attempt. Two weeks later he finished tied second, with Luke Donald, at the European Tour flag ship event, the 2010 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club, Virginia Water, England, one shot from winner Simon Khan. 2010 became his best year on the European Tour, when he finished 22nd on the Order of Merit.
He was runner-up another five times on the European Tour, at the 2003 Madeira Island Open, 2007 Valle Romano Open de Andalucia, 2011 Barclays Scottish Open, 2012 UBS Hong Kong Open and 2012 Omega European Masters. Andersson Hed announced his retirement from golf after missing the cut at the European Tour Qualifying School in November 2015 by one stroke.
