Ludvig Aberg's Masters Final Hole Blunder Costs $700K

Ludvig Aberg faced a dramatic collapse during the final round of the Masters, costing him a substantial amount of prize money and a chance at a playoff. After a promising start, Aberg found himself tied for the lead alongside Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, but a bogey on the 17th hole and a disastrous triple bogey on the 18th saw him drop from contention. His final score of six-under left him in seventh place, earning $703,500 instead of the potential $1.428 million he could have made with a third-place finish. The 25-year-old's struggles on the final holes highlighted the unpredictable nature of Augusta National. Despite the disappointing finish, Aberg has shown promise in his short career, finishing in the top 10 in both of his Masters appearances. Meanwhile, McIlroy celebrated his first Masters victory after an 11-year wait, completing his career Grand Slam.
