Åberg among the top, close to a hole-in-one in The Players

· updated

Ludvig Åberg was just a few inches from a hole-in-one on the classic 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. It was one of many good shots by the Swede. Åberg opened The Players Championship with a bogey-free 69.

After last week's third place in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Ludvig Åberg continues to play good golf. When The Players began at Åberg's home course in Florida, he made three birdies and no bogeys.

One of the Skåne native's birdies came on the 17th hole, the famous short hole with an island green. His tee shot was almost perfect, and the ball rolled very close to a hole-in-one before stopping for a short birdie putt of about half a meter.

69 strokes gave Åberg a share of tenth place, two strokes behind the lead.
