Aberg stormed past a struggling final round Matt Fitzpatrick, denying the Englishman the joy of joining Seve Ballesteros as a three-time Swiss winner, in posting a closing 64 to win by two shots at 19-under on the host Crans-sur-Sierre course.
Fellow Swede Alexander Bjork was runner-up at 17-under and with Fitzpatrick, in signing for a 69, sharing third with Scotland’s Connor Syme (67).
Afterwars Aberg was asked what he thought of his Ryder Cup chances of earning a Rome wildcard pick
“I thought I needed to win this week to have any chance of a pick, so it was great to finish well and win the tournament which is fantastic I did”, he said.
“It would mean the world if I was now chosen. For anyone, as a young golfer growing-up in Sweden and Europe, those are the tournaments you want to be a part of.
“If I do get that chance I would be over the moon. It would be really cool”.
Well done Ludvig!
