“A Lot of Pressure’: After Locking Horns With the Ryder Cup Squad, 32-Year-Old Swedish Golfer May Finally Have the Chance to Prove Himself

The BMW PGA Championship is currently in progress at Wentworth, with two more rounds to go. Its rounds are getting suspended consecutively though. The first round ended before everyone could finish their round, on Thursday, with only a few players left to play a couple of holes. The same happened in the second round as well.

Meanwhile, one European Tour Pro has turned heads with his spectacular second round that has sent him flying up the leaderboard. After his brilliant striking at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship earlier this season, this is a great week for the 32-year-old.

European Tour Pro shares his excitement about playing with the Ryder Cup Squad

In the post-round conference, Swedish golfer Sebastian Soderberg spoke about how this felt like it came out of nowhere. Explaining why he didn’t expect this coming, he said he struggled a little with his game, a week back. He claimed he did not feel great at the beginning of this week either.

Soderberg shared how he has been trying to work on his shots. He expressed his satisfaction with the results that he achieved. “So I guess some of that work finally paying off and starting to hit some quality shots.” 

Speaking of playing with the whole Ryder Cup Squad, Soderberg said, “It’s going to be a lot of pressure and I’m going to try to enjoy it as much as I can.” He emphasized how it’s been a lot of fun. 

Earlier this season, at Abu Dhabi, Sebastian Soderberg played great golf and finished the tournament with a shared second position. Since then, this has been the best week so far. Soderberg is probably looking at this season’s best finish for him in the ongoing tournament, currently leading the table.

Although he finished the Italian Open with a shared ninth position, he has had a lot of ups and downs this season.

Will this be Sebastian Soderberg’s second title win?

Soderberg currently holds the 25th position in the DP World Tour ranking currently. His range has been quite wide in terms of finishes. He also failed to make the cuts in about six tournaments this season. 

Yet, Soderberg currently stands at the first position in the ongoing tournament, sharing it with Ludvig Aberg. They both hold a score of 10-under. He scored a whopping 8-under in the second round and jumped a lot of steps on his way to the absolute top.   

Looking back at his career so far, he has had one European Tour Win in 2019. A win at the BMW PGA Championship with the entire Ryder Cup Squad present will surely decorate the 32-year-old Swede’s records.
