SUB 60 HEADLINES

Ludvig Åberg's golf game is marked by its remarkable simplicity, resembling an ideal swing that artificial intelligence could generate. On Sunday, he won The RSM Classic and claimed his first PGA Tour victory in record-setting style, shooting 29-under 253 to claim victory by four shots over Mackenzie Hughes.

Åberg tied the lowest 72-hole total in PGA TOUR history, matching Justin Thomas' 2017 Sony Open score, and set a record for the lowest score over a tournament’s final two rounds (61-61).

This success is part of an impressive professional debut, winning two of the 14 events since turning pro in June, showcasing patience and maturity. Now ranked in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, Åberg's blend of modern prowess, old-school demeanor, and strategic approach has sparked discussions and even comparisons to Tiger Woods.
