Aberg leads Farmers Insurance Open with 9-under 63

Ludvig Aberg shot a remarkable 9-under 63 in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, leading by two strokes over Danny Walker and Hayden Springer. This performance marked Aberg's best opening-round score of his career, as he capitalized on the easier North Course, hitting 16 of 18 greens in regulation with eight birdies and an eagle. Walker, who played on the more challenging South Course, delivered an impressive round of 65. Aberg expressed his enjoyment of the course, calling San Diego 'my favorite place in the world,' and noted his recovery from knee surgery was progressing well. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, the highest-ranked player in the field, finished with a score of 68 on the South Course. The event has attracted attention even without some top players in attendance, highlighting Aberg's potential as a rising star on the PGA Tour.
