Ludvig \u00c5berg entered Saturday\u2019s third round of The American Express at 9 under, just above the projected cut line.<\/p>\n
But about a half hour before his tee time at PGA West\u2019s Stadium Course, \u00c5berg became the latest player to withdraw with illness.<\/p>\n
Luke Clanton and Rico Hoey withdrew on Friday after neither player broke 70 in the first round. \u00c5berg shot 68-67 through two days, though he was eight shots off the lead shared by Scottie Scheffler and Blades Brown.<\/p>\n
It was around this time last year that \u00c5berg became ill during the Farmers Insurance Open. He slipped to a T-42 finish after an opening 63 at Torrey, then pulled out of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am following a first-round 77. However, he returned two weeks later at the Genesis Invitational and won.<\/p>\n
This was \u00c5berg\u2019s first start of the year, having not played anywhere on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship last September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ludvig \u00c5berg entered Saturday\u2019s third round of The American Express at 9 under, just above the projected cut…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":427971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-427970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
