Photo by Ben Jared/PGA TOUR via Getty Images Nick Faldo has made a striking claim about Ludvig Aberg after the Swede produced a superb round at The Players Championship. Aberg has been one of the standout performers at TPC Sawgrass this week and heads into the final round in a commanding position. The 26-year-old fired a 63 in the second round after opening the tournament with a 69.
He followed that with a 71 on Saturday, leaving him three shots clear of the field at 13-under-par. Aberg’s impressive display has drawn praise from many observers, but Faldo has gone even further when discussing the young star’s swing. Nick Faldo says Ludvig Aberg has the ‘finest golf swing in the world’ The six-time major champion has been hugely impressed by Aberg’s composure and ball-striking during the tournament.
Faldo pointed to a particular moment on the famous 17th hole as evidence of just how good the Swedish golfer’s swing is. “How about Mr. Aberg?
Bottom line for me, the finest golf swing in the world,” Faldo said. “I watched him hit that little half-wedge shot on 17 last night to a foot, and then he goes out and shoots 63. How impressive is that?
Absolutely perfect golf, fabulous. ” That is significant praise, given that Rory McIlroy is often regarded as having one of the most technically perfect swings in the sport. But Faldo believes Aberg’s rhythm and control currently set the standard in the professional game.
