Ryström grew up in Köping. He started playing golf at age six and was a scratch golfer by age fifteen.[1]
in August 1986, Ryström won the Nordic Championship over 72 holes in Hvide Klit, Denmark. Later that year he represented Sweden at the Eisenhower Trophy in Caracas, Venezuela, finishing 4th with his team and 9th individually.[2]
He turned professional after the 1986 season and won three times on the Challenge Tour. He had six top-10 finishes on the Challenge Tour in 2000 including victory in the Costa Blanca Challenge after beating Henrik Stenson in a playoff.[3]
Ryström twice graduated from the Challenge Tour but never won a European Tour title, finishing runner-up three times. He tied for second in the 1992 Monte Carlo Open together with Mark McNulty, two strokes behind Ian Woosnam.
