Ludvig Aberg, the Swedish golfer, is currently the leader on the Farmers Insurance Open ladder, together with Lant Griffin. The Swedish golfer finished the round 3 shots over par with a score of 75. Strong winds created huge problems for the golfers, which is the reason why some decided to withdraw, like Max Homa, who didn’t play as expected.
The winds were the reason for the officials to stop the tournament, and after some time, they continued to play again. The 25-year-old Swede sent the third shot on the par -15 8th hole into the bunker next to the green at the moment when the siren sounded, which signaled that play was being stopped due to darkness.
The Swede finished the hole, released the ball from the bunker 3 feet from the hole and tapped for par.
It is quite difficult to give the right answer as to what awaits us in the next two days, but the young golfer seems to be the main candidate for winning this tournament.
Besides Ludwig, several other golfers excelled in this tournament, such as Danny Walker as well as Chris Gotterup, Sungaje Im and many more. Maybe one of them could make a big step forward.
Who has disappointed so far?
However, there are also several quality golfers who did not have the ideal start to their adventure in this tournament, such as Justin Rose, who could miss the cut. There are also Tony Finau, as well as the defending champion, Matthieu Pavon.
The Farmers Insurance Open is a tournament that attracts a lot of attention, even though the famous names of the PGA Tour have decided to withdraw before the start. Scottie Scheffler and Xaner Schauffele, the best players of the Tour last year, decided to withdraw from this tournament, apparently due to injuries.
Some will want to take advantage of the fact that they are not in this tournament, aiming to achieve victory. A difficult task is ahead of them, but not an impossible one.
