[1][2] In 1976, Ehrnlund, 17 years old, reached the final of the Swedish Match-play Championship, losing to Liv Wollin, who won the tournament for the ninth time.

[3] At the end of the 1978 season and her amateur career, she represented Sweden, together with Liv Wollin and Charlotte Montgomery, at the Espirito Santo Trophy in Pacific Harbour, Fiji.

[6] With small prize amounts available, she had to rely on sponsor support and usually travelled by car between tournaments, living in a caravan and sometimes with her father as driver and caddie.

Four years later she won her second Ladies European Tour title, the United Friendly Tournament at two-time Ryder Cup-venue Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club near Liverpool, England.

Ehrnlund is regarded as an important pioneer in women's professional golf in Sweden and a model for later coming generations, making their successes possible.
