Ludvig Åberg claimed victory at the Genesis Invitational, surging past Maverick McNealy with a final-round 64. He birdied three consecutive holes to tie the lead and secured the win with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th hole.
For much of the Genesis Invitational’s final round, it seemed unlikely that Maverick McNealy wouldn’t come away with the victory.
The 29-year-old Californian was 9 under through 13 holes. And though he wouldn’t card another birdie all day, it looked like McNealy dodged a bullet by saving par on his final two holes after getting into trouble off the tee. However, missing a 17-footer for birdie on the last proved to be costly. “Now it looks like it’s on Ludvig to win the tournament outright at 12 ,” Tiger Woods said on the CBS broadcast.The 25-year-old Swede, who started the day one stroke back of Patrick Rodgers’s 54-hole lead, hung around all afternoon and tied the lead with three straight birdies on Nos. 13-15. Needing a birdie to win on Torrey Pines’s par-5 finishing hole, he knocked his second shot to 68 feet and two-putted, sinking a 7-footer for his second PGA Tour win and first since November 2023.
The next week, his sickness—still a mystery exactly what the diagnosis was—got worse, and Åberg withdrew at Pebble Beach. Earlier this week, he revealed it caused him to lose 8 pounds in two days. But a little lighter and finally healthy, Åberg was able to flip the script at Torrey and show why he’s one of the sport’s brightest young stars by notching the biggest win of his career in his 40th Tour start.“I’m really proud of my effort,” he said following a final-round 64, the low round of the day and his career-best, “especially being outside the cutline through 27 holes.
