Maiden European Tour victory came a few months after getting married, winning the 72Ëš Open D'Italia in a head-to-head battle with Martin Kaymer at the Golf Club Milano. Both players finished regulation tied at 19-under with Karlberg winning on the second extra hole. Finished a (then) career-best 56th in the Race to Dubai.

Prior to that, had played primarily on the Asian Tour.
