Golf star Ludvig Åberg managed to turn around the deficit after the bizarre shot and lies tied third in the Scottish Open after the first day.

I've never seen anything like it before, he says about hitting his fellow player's ball.

The Swedish world number four had a somewhat tough start in the competition, which is a rehearsal for next week's British Open with all golf stars present at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland.

Sure, Åberg made three birdies on the first nine holes, but also two bogeys. The second, on the eighth hole, was really unlucky. Åberg hit a good approach, but his ball hit Collin Morikawa's ball and bounced off the green.

I hit a good shot, but you couldn't see the ball or the flag from the fairway. Then we saw the ball veer off to the right, I didn't know what it hit, says Åberg at the press conference.

I've never seen it before and probably won't see it again for a long time. So, check that off.

On the last nine, he took revenge by going five under par – three birdies and an eagle.

My caddie Joe and I talked about how important it is to accept what happens and have patience when playing on courses like this. It was nice to finish like we did.

Åberg was noted for 64 strokes, six under par, and is tied third – two strokes behind leader Justin Thomas, USA. Im Sung-jae, South Korea, is one stroke ahead of Åberg.

Alex Norén lies tied eighth after a 65-round.
