The fact that Ludvig Aberg’s first Ryder Cup memory is the 2012 Miracle at Medinah perhaps best sums up just how young the Swede is.
The 23-year-old has gone from turning professional at the start of the year to yesterday becoming one of Luke Donald’s six Ryder Cup captain’s picks for the event this month. He is the first European since Sergio Garcia to make his Cup debut in the same year as turning pro, leading Donald yesterday to hail him “a generational player”.
