Pierceson Coody shot an 11-under 61 in Kentucky Thursday on the ISCO Championship, whereas Ludvig Åberg is getting saucy in Scotland on the Genesis Scottis Open.
Earlier than we get to a lot of the kids enjoying within the Bluegrass State this week, I needed to take a second and brag on the previous Texas Tech Pink Raider.
The younger Swedish phenom has caught the golf world’s consideration since he earned his PGA Tour standing final yr via the PGA Tour College route. He didn’t take that chance as a right.
Åberg went from being just about unknown to being one of many hottest commodities on Tour. A win on each the DP World Tour and within the States exhibits he has what it takes to create an extended profession in golf.
The perfect half — the 25-year-old stays as humble as ever. He loves what he does and by no means desires to lose that keenness for golf. That drive is among the many issues that make him likable — plus his completely beautiful swing is fairly good to observe.
He and Hovland give off these good man vibes that make you wish to have a beer and chat for hours.
Regardless of being younger, they perceive the significance of the sport and why they’re the long run. These two are distinctive, and the following 5 to 10 years with them on Tour can be unbelievable to observe.

The 24-year-old labored his means onto the PGA Tour, however that efficiency on Thursday simply pressured me so as to add him to the record. It’s really wild to see these younger guys destroy programs like that.
Luke Clanton can be within the discipline. He shot a 2-under 70 Thursday however got here into the week because the outright favourite. An beginner because the outright betting choose is wild. Nevertheless, his play the previous few weeks has been mind-boggling to observe. For somebody to be 20 years previous and that proficient is what this recreation wants.

Davis Thompson gained final week’s John Deere Traditional, and the robust play continued in Scotland.
