Aberg is a former World No. 1 ranked amateur winning the Ben Hogan award as the ...

There’s a new European golfing superstar in Ludvig Aberg with the 23-year-old Swede brilliantly standing tall among the towering snow-capped Swiss Alps in capturing the Omega European Masters, Aberg birdied four of his closing five holes in a closing score of a six-under 64 and win a maiden DP World Tour victory by two shots at 19-under-par on the host Crans-sur-Sierre course.
