Ludvig Aberg wins Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines

Ludvig Aberg secured a thrilling victory at the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, birdieing four of the last six holes, including a decisive 7-foot putt on the 18th to win by one stroke over Maverick McNealy. Aberg's final round of 66 came after a challenging month where he battled a serious illness that caused him to lose 10 pounds. McNealy had set a fast pace with a round of 64, leading by three shots at one point, but Aberg's resilience shone through as he tied for the lead before clinching the championship. This win marks Aberg's fifth professional title and his first in 15 months, propelling him to No. 4 in the world rankings. The tournament, hosted by Tiger Woods, was relocated to Torrey Pines due to wildfires in Los Angeles, while Woods withdrew from the event following the death of his mother. Players wore commemorative buttons in her honor during the tournament.
