Who is Ludvig Aberg? Rookie pro golfer remains in fight for Masters ...

Editors note: This story has been updated to reflect Ludvig Aberg's finish at the Masters

Ludvig Aberg isn't playing like a rookie at The Masters.

Building off a strong Round 3 on Saturday in which he shot 2-under par, Aberg, 24, finished second in the 2024 Masters Tournament with an overall finish of seven under par. He trailed only World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won his second Masters in three years.

"I think there is a lot of things we'd done very well this week, especially today," said Ludvig of his performance this week to CBS's Amanda Balionis. "I came out and was very nervous, obviously was shaking at the first tee. But those are all things that I enjoy doing and we said, 'It is a privilege to be hitting all these shots out here and it's a privilege to be in this position.'"

This is Aberg's first trip to the Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters, as the Swedish golfer turned professional in June 2023. He finished runner-up in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and eighth in The Players Championship in March. He has one win on the PGA Tour, winning the 2023 RSM Classic with a score of 29 under par, four strokes ahead of second-place Mackenzie Hughes.

Aberg is 9 under in the first nine during the week at Augusta National but playing above par in the back nine at two over par according to the CBS broadcast. Here's everything to know about Aberg and his runner-up finish at the 2024 Masters Tournament:
