69-70-65-64 gave a total of 24 strokes under par - a phenomenal achievement that would have been enough to win on many other competitions around the American professional tour.
But not on Maui, Hawaii.
The course is considered one of the easiest to achieve low scores on, and the best of all to handle the conditions given was Hideki Matsuyama. The Japanese golfer excelled with 35 strokes under par, three fewer than the second-placed American Collin Morikawa.
Record performance
For his achievement, Matsuyama was rewarded with approximately 40 million kronor. Moreover, he wrote himself into the PGA's history books: the result is the lowest ever on a tour competition. Australian Cameron Smith had the previous record - 34 strokes under par, also noted on the Plantation Course.
Åberg delivered a strong final round, where he was one stroke better than Hideki Matsuyama. The Swede notched an eagle on two holes, managed to get five birdies, and finished fifth together with Belgian Thomas Detry and Canadian Corey Conners.
Pulled in a good sum
Ludvig Åberg raked in 744,166 dollars - roughly eight million kronor - in prize money.
Maui is a perfect place to start the season and you have to shoot low scores to be able to compete here, said Åberg, who will next play in the new indoor league in Florida.
The PGA tour continues on Hawaii, at Waialae in Honolulu. Henrik Norlander, Vincent Norrman, Jesper Svensson, and Tim Widing are the Swedes who will participate.
