A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Wessberg was tabbed along with Maria Hjorth and Iben Tinning to round out captain Helen Alfredsson's 12-player squad. The selection was the first for Wessberg, who joined the Ladies European Tour in 2003.
After picking up her first career victory in 2006 at the Wales Ladies Championship of Europe, Wessberg has carried her success into the 2007 season, earning her second career win at the Vediorbis Open de France in June. She also has a runner-up finish to her credit, placing second at the Golf Punk Ladies English Open and tied for seventh earlier this month at the Ricoh Women's British Open.
