Adam Mednick


Adam Mednick is a Swedish professional golfer.
Mednick was born in Bethesda, Maryland in the United States to an American father and a Swedish mother, and moved to Sweden when he was eight years old. His great-grandparents emigrated from Russia to escape the Tsar, and the authorities in the United States changed their family name from Mednikov to Mednick.
Mednick had a successful amateur career before turning professional in 1989. He played on the European Tour and the second tier Challenge Tour between 1990 and 2006 but his career was restricted by a back injury sustained in 1995. He won just one tournament at the top level, the North West of Ireland Open in 2002.
In 2008, Mednick coached the successful European Palmer Cup team together with Mårten Olander.
Mednick made his debut on the European Senior Tour at the inaugural Paris Legends Championship the same day he turned 50, making him eligible for the competition at Le Golf National. His former room-mate and compatriot Magnus Persson Atlevi would go on to secure his first Senior Tour title at the tournament.
Mednick competes on the senior tour as Adam Mednickson. After his career on the European Tour he married Tullia Johansson. The couple considered calling themselves Mednick-Johansson until their 4-year-old son Tom suggested the more easy to pronounce portmanteau of Mednickson, which became the family's legal name.
