Ludvig Aberg is aiming to round off a stellar PGA Tour season with a strong finish in the FedExCup Playoffs.
Aberg smashed a 418-yard tee shot at the BMW Championship last week, with the Swede hugely impressing at Castle Pines.
He went on to finish T2 at the second playoff event, having previously struggled with a T40 finish at the St Jude Championship.
Aberg labelled Castle Pines a ‘great’ course, with the one-time PGA Tour winner carding rounds of 72, 63, 71 and 71 to finish on 11 under.
Adam Scott and Sam Burns joined Aberg in second place, with the trio finishing one shot behind winner Keegan Bradley.
Ludvig Aberg names the hardest PGA Tour course to learn on
Aberg’s superb year is epitomised by three runner-up finishes, eight top-10s and 16 cuts made from 18 events.
He has travelled all over the world and played at many different venues, and has now looked back on one in particular.
When asked in his Tour Championship press conference about the hardest course to learn on from his last two years, Aberg replied: “That is a great question. I actually think one of the harder ones is Riviera to get used to because Riviera is… I love it.
“It’s so good because it’s stood the test of time. But it’s still really tricky when the greens are firm and you’re really working the angles.
“I think once you have played there a few times, you kind of know where you can’t go and where you should have the pitches from and the putts from.
“I’m definitely looking forward to coming back there next year and giving it another shot. But I remember the first couple days coming there and playing, I was like, ooh, this is pretty hard.”
Ludvig Aberg set for another new challenge at East Lake
The iconic course has certainly tested the world’s best over the years, with Patrick Cantlay naming Riviera his favourite course to play on.
But the duo now need to focus firmly on East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia, with the Tour Championship getting underway there this week.

Aberg has impressively risen to fifth place in the points list ahead of the event, with the Swede set to start out on five under.
Cantlay meanwhile begins the Tour Championship just one shot behind Aberg on five under, with the American currently 10th place in the leaderboard.
Aberg now has to get to grips with another new course, with East Lake having undergone an extensive restoration ahead of the tournament.
