This year's second golf major, the PGA Championship, was a flop for Ludvig Åberg.
The Swede was on red numbers before the first day and had a hang on the leaders, but after a worse second round it was clear that he would miss the cut.
On Friday, the Eslöv native went four over par, which means a total score of +3.
I swung badly. It was something that made everything leak to the right, especially from the tee. It cost me today, it cost me dearly. There were many too gross misses, Åberg says to Viaplay:
Generally, it's too bad, there's no talking about it. There are some real misses, like on seven or eight, and you can't play golf with that.
Åberg had problems mainly on "the green mile" as holes 16 to 18 on the Quail Hollow course are called.
It is recognized as one of the toughest in the golf world, and the last time a major was played on Quail Hollow, in 2017, the total score for all players over the three-hole stretch was 488 strokes over par. The prognosis for this year's competition looks even darker.
And during Friday's round, Ludvig Åberg was one of those who really felt how tough it was. The Swede made bogey on the 16th and double bogey on both the 17th and 18th.
The 25-year-old seemed to have bounced back somewhat after the nightmare holes, but finished heavily with further bogeys and ultimately did not make the cut.
It's clear that it's extremely frustrating, he says.
