Amateur career

Pettersson finished tied third at the 2013 Annika Invitational Europe, behind Malene Krølbøll Hansen and Celia Barquin Arozamena.[2] She was in contention at the 2016 European Ladies Amateur Championship held at Hook Golf Club, Sweden. She was in second place behind Leslie Cloots of Belgium ahead of the final round.[3] Pettersson had shot 72, 70 and 65 to put herself in a spot to make a challenge for the title, but a disappointing 75 on the final day saw her finish in a tie for 6th.[4]

Pettersson played college golf with East Carolina University between 2014 and 2018, majoring in business. She was twice named First-Team All-American Athletic Conference and as a senior named ECU's Most Outstanding Female Scholar Athlete at the annual Breakfast of Champions.[5]

Professional career

After Pettersson graduated in 2018, she turned professional and played on the Swedish Golf Tour, where she was runner-up behind Sara Kjellker at the Carpe Diem Beds Trophy, tied for third at the Skaftö Open behind Malene Krølbøll Hansen and Filippa Möörk, and successfully defeated Sofie Bringner in the final of the Swedish Matchplay Championship.[1]

In 2019, Pettersson joined the Symetra Tour. Her best finish was a solo third at the 2019 IOA Golf Classic, five strokes behind Marta Sanz Barrio.[6]

Pettersson lost a playoff to Anna Nordqvist at the Cactus Tour's Moon Valley stop in March 2020, during the LPGA Tour's pandemic hiatus. Nordqvist shot a final-round 66 to tie Pettersson, and won with a 12-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole.[7]

In December 2021, Pettersson finished in second place at the LET Q-School, on eight-under-par with rounds of 73, 71, 67, 70 and 72, securing a Ladies European Tour card for 2022.[8][9]
