Ludvig Aberg totally crushed it at the 2023 RSM Classic and bagged his first PGA Tour title. The dude was as cool as a cucumber, sleeping on a 54-hole lead and then acing the front nine with a 30. He kept his rivals at bay with a second-straight 61 on the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club. If you thought the guy was nervous, think again. He showed no signs of jitters and even nailed a 26-footer for birdie at the fourth hole. And get this, he drove the green with a 335-yard blast on the par-4 fifth, setting up an easy two-putt birdie. Talk about skills!
Aberg was on fire throughout the week, ranking first in strokes gained/off the tee, second in driving distance, and sixth in driving accuracy. His 9-degree Titleist TSR2 driver with a Fujikura Ventus Black 6X shaft was his secret weapon. The dude himself said, “I feel like I do that quite well so I try to use it as much as I can.”
But wait, there’s more. Aberg made his first (and only) bogey of the week on the 12th hole, but he bounced back like a champ with a solid up-and-down from the greenside bunker on the par-5 15th hole. His Titleist Vokey wedges and Titleist Pro V1x golf ball helped him rank T-3 in scrambling for the week. The guy knows his gear!
Aberg’s love for the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball goes way back. He’s all about putting spin on the ball and getting that perfect angle on the firmer greens. And guess what? He used to hunt for Pro V1s in the woods as a kid. Now, he’s living the dream, playing with the balls he used to search for. How cool is that?
And let’s not forget his killer gear. Here’s what Aberg had in his bag at the RSM Classic:
Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
Driver: Titleist TSR2 (Fujikura Ventus Black 6X), 9 degrees
3-wood: TaylorMade Stealth 2, 15 degrees
Irons (2): Titleist 718 T-MB; (4-9): Titleist T100; (PW): Titleist Vokey SM9
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM9 (50, 54 degrees); Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks (60 degrees)
Putter: Odyssey White Hot Versa 1
Winning his first PGA Tour title was a dream come true for Aberg, and he totally nailed it with his killer skills and awesome gear. Can’t wait to see what this guy does next!
