It was more fun today. I did very well, the score shows, says Ludvig Åberg in Viaplay after the round.

Åberg had a tough first day when he went two strokes over par and lost contact with the lead. Therefore, the second day was extra important to gain confidence and secure continued play on Saturday and Sunday.

Ludvig Åberg went on 67 strokes, which was one of the best performances during the second day.

I drove the ball better today. I gave myself better chances. Moreover, there was a little less wind so you could be more aggressive towards the flags, which they had set quite cunningly. Then I rolled the putts well, says Åberg.

His start was impressive when he made four birdies on the first nine holes. On the last nine holes, it then became two birdies and two bogeys.

I got a slightly more lively start compared to yesterday. You really need to take advantage of the first seven holes with the wind on this course. I'm glad I did it today. I'll try to do it again tomorrow, explains Åberg, who can look forward to an exciting weekend.

Also, the Swedes Jesper Svensson, Henrik Stenson, and Sebastian Söderberg managed to go on to the weekend's play. All had one stroke over par, which was the qualifying limit.

Leading the competition is Scottie Scheffler, at ten strokes under par.
