Niclas Krister Fasth (born 29 April 1972) is a Swedish professional golfer, who has won six times on the European Tour.

His family, with father Kristher, mother Inga-Lill and younger sister Jessica, used to spend their summers there and began playing golf.

At 16 years of age, he was adopted at the Swedish upper secondary sports school in Mark, outside Borås, to combine studying with golf training.

In 1991, he won the Greek Open Amateur Championship at Glyfada, Athens, with a new 72-hole tournament record 289,[4] and the year after he was the Swedish Junior Match-play Champion, winning the final on the last hole at Kalmar Golf Club.

[5] Fasth was the only amateur to make the cut at the 1992 Scandinavian Masters on the European Tour at Barsebäck Golf & Country Club in Sweden, finishing tied 35th, 10 strokes behind winner, world number one, Nick Faldo.

He finished tenth on the 2001 European Tour Order of Merit, after being lone runner-up to David Duval at the 2001 Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, England.

The week after, Fasth won his sixth European Tour event, the BMW International Open in Munich, Germany, ahead of home hero Bernhard Langer.
