Ludvig Åberg Reflects on Challenging US Open Start

It was quite rough. I missed a few times in the wrong places, which I'm annoyed about. I have no problem hitting bad shots, but hitting bad shots in the wrong places annoys me. But it's completely okay anyway, said Ludvig Åberg to Viaplay after his round. He started strong on the difficult Oakmont Country Club outside Pittsburgh. Åberg noted two birdies on the initial holes and was two under par after the first nine holes. But the finish was heavier. Four bogeys on the last five holes meant that he noted two strokes over par when Thursday's first round was over. This means that Ludvig Åberg, who started early in the starting field, slipped in the tight battle and is found on a tied 33rd place before Friday's second round. The Swedish world six is optimistic about the continuation: In that I feel that there is a bit to be gained. But I need to become better at missing in the right places and not making stupid bogeys from the fairway. That's not where you should miss. Joakim Lagergren, US Open's second Swede, finished ten strokes over par, 80 strokes, after the first day's play. He is on a tied 141st place. American JJ Spaun leads four strokes under par, 66 strokes. Corrected: In an earlier version of this text, the incorrect score for Joakim Lagergren on the first round was stated. It should be ten strokes over par.
