Rory McIlroy was always on Ludvig Aberg's bandwagon: "Now I'm at the front"
Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland all sung the praises of 'generational' talent Ludvig Aberg ahead of the Swede's debut in the Ryder Cup.
Would it be unreasonable to suggest Ludvig Aberg is the most unlikely member of Europe's Ryder Cup team?
Only the most ardent of golf fans might've heard of the 23-year-old Swede before he turned professional in June.
He arrived on the scene with a big reputation having been ranked the No.1 amateur in the world.
Aberg also picked up the Haskins award and the Jack Nicklaus award such was his prowess in college golf.
Fast forward a few months and he's being described as a 'generational talent' by the likes of Rory McIlroy after European captain Luke Donald handed him a wildcard pick.
McIlroy, Rahm and Viktor Hovland all sung the praises of Aberg before the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
