A rising star in the world of professional golf has been making waves with his remarkable performance at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. Despite being a recent addition to the professional circuit, his exceptional skills in the first couple of rounds took him to the high of T3.

However, the Swedish pro faltered a little after a disappointing round of 1-over par in the third round. Though one would say that the Swede has done his job in terms of catching Team Europe captain Luke Donald’s attention. Let’s see what those first two rounds can do for the 23-year-old golfer.

Ryder Cup hopes intact for the bright golfer

As the highly anticipated Ryder Cup approaches, Ludvig Aberg finds himself on the verge of turning his dream into reality, the dream of representing Team Europe against the United States later this year. Aberg took full advantage of Donald being his partner for the first couple of rounds, and did just what the doctor had ordered.

“He makes the game look effortless. If he continues to show form, he will definitely be considered for the Ryder Cup team. This guy is going to be a superstar,” Donald commented, acknowledging Aberg’s talent and foreseeing a bright future for the young golfer.

It will be a 12-member squad for the tournament. While there are qualification criteria in place, the captain has the right to pick a few up-and-coming wild-card players. Aberg would hope he has done enough to make it to the team.

The prestigious biennial event will kick off at Italy’s Marco Simone Golf and Country Club on September 29 and will go on till October 1.

A rollercoaster ride for Aberg in Detroit

Aberg’s accuracy off the tee and exceptional short game put him in contention for victory after the first two rounds. It won’t be wrong to say he indeed made waves with Rounds of 65 and 67. His composure and talent were on full display, captivating audiences and leaving his fellow competitors awe-struck.

However, the final round proved to be a bit disappointing for the young golfer. Aberg went down to T23 on the leaderboard on Saturday, which slightly compromised his tournament hopes, if not Ryder Cup hopes.
