The Ryder Cup hero heads to Troon next week aiming to emulate his countryman and his sensational success eight years ago
The Ryder Cup hero heads to Troon next week aiming to emulate his countryman’s sensational 2016 success. Aberg admits it had a big effect in homeland as he guns for Claret Jug glory and had a trial run in Ayrshire on Monday with Viktor Hovland. He said: “It was great. We had a very uncharacteristic day in Scotland where it was 20 degrees, sunny and no wind.
Aberg was also back in his homeland for a fortnight playing local courses before heading to Renaissance. When he made his debut a year ago, he was a virtual unknown. Now back in East Lothian, Aberg is now World No.4 and amongst the game’s elite. Aberg is chasing Scottish success, then a first Major and he’ll also be chasing Olympic Gold when he gets to Paris next month. Again Stenson is the benchmark having won a Silver Medal in 2016.
“I think just the experience of representing your country comes with a lot of pride and it’s a feeling that I bet is going to be difficult to compare with. I’m going to stay in the Village at night, to soak it in. I’m not sure I want to go into the gym because I’ll feel not as big! But I definitely want to watch the athletics. I think for me, that’s Olympics a little bit.”
