At Caves Valley in Maryland, the Swede made seven birdies and one bogey. With that, the son of Eslöv landed in third place, a total of eight under par. The leader is the Scot Robert MacIntyre – six strokes ahead of Åberg. After that, the American world number one Scottie Scheffler is found, with a total of nine under par.
Despite the two strong opening rounds, MacIntyre wanted to tone down the expectations when it was time to summarize the second day's play.
We have only played 36 holes. It's a long way to go, he said to reporters, according to AP.
For the tour final next week, the top 30 on the Fedex Cup ranking will advance and Åberg is already qualified for that.
