Ludvig Aberg fired his second straight 9-under 61 to run away with his first PGA Tour title at the RSM Classic on Sunday in St. Simons Island, Ga.
The Swedish rookie had obtained his tour card through the PGA Tour University pathway after a fine career at Texas Tech. He won on the DP World Tour in September and made Europe's victorious Ryder Cup team soon after.
Now the 24-year-old's resume has grown again, as Aberg posted a 29-under 253 for the week at Sea Island Resort. Canada's Mackenzie Hughes shot a 63 Sunday to finish 25 under, and he was the only player within six shots of Aberg.
Aberg and Hughes also secured their places in two signature events next winter, the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational, by finishing in the top 60 of the inaugural FedEx Cup Fall standings. That group also includes Ben Griffin, Taylor Montgomery, J.J. Spaun, Sam Ryder and Luke List, who was 60th.
Nos. 51-125 in the points standings at the conclusion of this tournament received full tour status for the 2024 season. Troy Merritt, who missed the cut at the RSM, was projected to be No. 125, while China's Carl Yuan wound up at No. 126. The players at Nos. 126-150 will be given conditional PGA Tour status and full Korn Ferry Tour status.
Aberg had seven birdies through 11 holes before making his first and only bogey of the week at the par-3 12th, thanks to a wayward tee shot. Aberg recovered and birdied three of his final four holes at the resort's Seaside course to capture his maiden tour title.
