Ludvig Aberg wins Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines

Ludvig Åberg achieved a triumphant victory at the Genesis Invitational held at Torrey Pines, marking his second PGA Tour title after a challenging previous outing at the same course. Overcoming a stomach ailment that had plagued him weeks earlier, Åberg rallied from three shots behind to finish with a 6-under 66, edging out Maverick McNealy by one stroke. His performance included a crucial par save on the 12th hole, followed by birdies on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, ultimately leading to a decisive 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th green. The tournament was relocated from Riviera due to wildfires in Los Angeles, allowing Åberg to capitalize on a familiar setting. With this win, he rises to No. 4 in the world rankings and leads the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings. Åberg expressed pride in his comeback and the significance of the victory, stating it reinforces his status as a serious contender on the Tour.
