Wahlin's most successful year was 2008 when she won the Turkish Ladies Open by 12 strokes, followed by the Wales Ladies Championship of Europe in a playoff, as well as the Catalonia Ladies Masters in Spain, which was unofficial. She finished 2008 seventh on the Money List.[2]
In late 2009, Wahlin was diagnosed with cancer, which meant she missed most of the 2010 season and was forced to play in the cooler climate of the Swedish Golf Tour (at the time named the Nordea Tour). She returned to the LET in 2011 to record a 66 (–6) at the Dubai Ladies Masters, giving her the first round lead.[3]
Following another setback with a back injury in 2011 she announced her retirement in 2012 at age 28, and the Raiffeisenbank Prague Golf Masters in June 2012 was her last event on the Ladies European Tour.[2]
