Follow us on Google Discover Ludvig Aberg got off to a fine start at Wentworth on Thursday, shooting a 67 on day one of the BMW PGA Championship.
Aberg played in the tougher afternoon conditions, but managed to shoot 67 despite making a double bogey on his 15th hole of the day.
The 26-year-old Swede is sitting just one stroke adrift of the joint-leaders, Aaron Rai and Joakim Lagergren, with 54 holes still to play.
It is utterly baffling that Ludvig Aberg only has two PGA Tour wins and one DP World Tour victory to his name.
He is so much better than his record suggests, and he’ll be determined to put that right over the next few years, starting this week at the BMW PGA Championship.
Ludvig Aberg admits he was ‘annoyed’ with himself on day one at the BMW PGA
The 26-year-old spoke to reporters at Wentworth after shooting a round of five-under par 67 on day one.
Aberg was asked if he was pleased with his round in general on day one at Wentworth.
“Yeah, I wasn’t really driving it that well today,” the Swede admitted.
“I felt like I was missing a lot of fairways. So obviously after I was a bit annoyed with myself, leaving that one out to the right, make it double, so it was nice to finish that way.

“Definitely, obviously 17, 18 were par 5s, but you still have to hit shots, they’re difficult par 5s. I’m definitely pleased with that.“
The 6ft 3in Swede was asked whether he found the conditions challenging at Wentworth on Thursday.
“Yeah, definitely,“ he replied.
“I thought it was difficult. Obviously the wind was a big factor today, it was swirling.
“You’re meant to have the west wind coming this way and you can’t feel it going this way, so it definitely increases the difficulty level a little bit, but I felt like we managed it really well today and yeah, happy with the finish for sure.“
With more blustery conditions expected throughout the week at Wentworth, Ludvig Aberg and his fellow competitors should expect a tough final 54 holes.
