Since turning professional 13 months ago, the likable Swede has risen so quickly that it seems like he has been there for years.
After winning the DP World Tour, Aberg had an incredible start to his career. In Rome, he was a key player in Europe’s thrilling Ryder Cup triumph against the United States.
Aberg became the first player to participate in a Ryder Cup before participating in a major tournament when he was chosen by captain Luke Donald as one of his six wildcard selections.
In November, he achieved victory on the PGA Tour, capping an incredible half-year.
In April, Aberg made a breathtaking debut at the Masters, easily finishing ahead of the field as Scottie Scheffler won handily. After missing the cut at the US PGA Championship, he led the US Open halfway through before somewhat slipping to finish tied for 12th.
Now let’s move on to this week at Royal Troon. In reference to his fellow Swede Henrik Stenson’s epic battle with Phil Mickelson during the last time the Ayrshire Links hosted the Championship in 2016, he told Sport that “it will be a dream come true to play on Thursday.”.
