The conditions to match last year's second place in the competition were good. Åberg went out to a solo third place and started with five straight pairs.
Then the problems increased.
Trouble on the last two holes – bogey and double bogey respectively – meant that the Swede finished three over par for the day, with over 30 players ahead of him.
Despite the day, the result is enough for play in next weekend's final in the Fedex cup playoffs, Tour Championship. Åberg finished in a shared seventh place in the competition.
Also, the leader before the day, Robert MacIntyre, had a nightmare round, three over par.
The 29-year-old American Scottie Scheffler won the competition.
