Aberg finds himself in a tie for ninth after two rounds, having followed his opening round 72 with a four-under 66. The Swede is joined by several others on two-under, including world number one and defending champion Scottie Scheffler.
That is despite frustration from the American, with Scheffler labelling some Aronimink pins “absurd” on day two, although he did insist the set up was fair. Three shots further back, Rory McIlroy disagreed with Scheffler about Aronimink somewhat, saying: “The only thing I would say is, I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it’s a sign of not a great setup. I think when it’s as bunched as it is, because it hasn’t really enabled anyone to separate themselves.
” McIlroy’s Ryder Cup teammate Aberg has since shared his verdict on the course after his second round of the PGA Championship . Ludvig Aberg assesses the Aronimink set up at the PGA Championship Commenting if his weekend is looking optimistic at Aronimink , Aberg said: “Yeah, absolutely. Like you said, optimistic is a good word.
“I think, I like that yesterday I didn’t hit the ball very well, but I was able to sort of get back into hitting golf shots again today. “I felt like I was striking it nice all day. If I can keep that up tomorrow and keep the patience, I’ll be happy.
