It’s really hard for Ludvig Åberg, 26.

The Swede made nine (!) bogeys in San Diego.

He is last in the competition.

Last week, Ludvig Åberg withdrew in the middle of the competition. It was due to illness.

The Swede was back when the PGA tour now occupied Torrey Pines in San Diego.

It started really badly for the 26-year-old and continued like that throughout the round.

Five straight bogeys

On the first four holes, Åberg accounted for three bogeys and one birdie. The Swede played himself up before he ended up in the next slump.

Åberg made five (!) straight bogeys on holes eleven through 15 and there were a total of nine during the first day – his worst result on the tour. With three birdies, he finished six over par.

When the Swede arrived at the clubhouse, he was last in the entire competition.

Koepka back

Another player worth keeping an eye on this week is Brooks Koepka. The American is making his first competition on the PGA Tour since choosing to break with LIV.

For him, it doesn’t go any further either. He is one over par, but still enjoying being back.

– I think I’ve fallen in love with the sport again, Koepka says ESPN.

Best of the Swedes

Englishman Justin Rose leads at ten under par. In addition to Åberg, there are three more players who are six over. It’s Matt Wallace, Kevin Streelman and Camillo Villegas.

Best among the Swedes after the first day is Jesper Svensson. He is tied for 55th place and has gone two under par.

Last season, Ludvig Åberg won when the PGA Tour played at Torrey Pines.
