Amidst the fervor surrounding Ludvig Aberg’s meteoric rise in the golf world, Sir Nick Faldo has joined the chorus of praise for the Swedish sensation, hailing his golf swing as nothing short of perfection. Aberg’s journey from amateur standout to professional phenom has been nothing short of remarkable since he made the decision to turn pro last June. With wins on both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, and a pivotal role in Team Europe’s Ryder Cup triumph at Marco Simone last Autumn, Aberg’s star has only continued to ascend.
His debut at the Masters last week marked a significant milestone in his career, finishing as the runner-up, a mere four shots behind the green jacket winner, Scottie Scheffler. But Aberg isn’t one to rest on his laurels. He swiftly transitioned to the RBC Heritage, accompanied by his Ryder Cup teammate Rory McIlroy in round one, and wasted no time in showcasing his talent. Aberg’s opening round of five-under-par 66 included a breathtaking eagle at the par-five fifth, where he stunned onlookers with a remarkable two-iron shot that sailed 271 yards to within eight feet of the pin, before sinking the putt for a three. This exceptional shot and the fluidity of his swing caught the attention of none other than Sir Nick Faldo.
In a sport graced by legendary swings, Faldo’s endorsement of Aberg’s technique places him in esteemed company alongside the likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Taking to social media, the six-time major winner tweeted: “Is this the best golf swing you’ve ever seen or what?? plane perfection!”
Aberg’s stellar performance at Augusta propelled him even further up the Official World Golf Ranking, securing a career-best seventh position, a remarkable climb of almost 900 places in just a year. Beyond the victories, his standout showing at the Masters undoubtedly marks a career highlight.
Reflecting on his achievement, Aberg humbly acknowledged the collective effort behind his success, stating, “It shows we’re doing a lot of good stuff, and obviously finishing well in the Masters is a dream come true. Just playing here has been such a privilege, and I’m super proud of myself and the team and all the work that we’re doing.”
Looking ahead with optimism, Aberg shared his excitement for future challenges, expressing satisfaction with his performance and resilience in the face of the pressures of major competition. As he continues to make waves in the golfing world, Aberg’s journey is one defined by talent, determination, and the promise of even greater achievements on the horizon.
