Is now his time? Swedish superstar Ludvig Åberg heads into the weekend at the 2023 RSM Classic with the solo lead at 11 under with eyes on nabbing his first PGA Tour victory in the final event of the season. A birdie on his last hole pushed Åberg past a crowded bunch at 10 under as Denny McCarthy, Sam Ryder and Eric Cole sit one adrift.
Both Åberg and Cole find themselves in a similar position through 36 holes as they aim to capture their first victories, first invitations to The Masters and battle for Rookie of the Year honors. All three could be decided over the next two days at Sea Island Golf Club.
Åberg has been as solid as ever across the first two rounds, posting nine birdies and an eagle against zero bogeys. He continues to be a force off the tee, leading the field in the category Friday, and the experience garnered over the last couple months will only make him more formidable as the tension intensifies.
