Ludvig Aberg's career is on a rapid rise. In May, he played his final college tournament at the NCAA golf championship in Scottsdale, Arizona. In June, he'd already topped the PGA Tour University rankings and earned his PGA Tour status.
Three months after turning pro and winning the European Masters on Sept. 3, he got a call from Europe Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald. Donald congratulated him on the victory in Switzerland and followed it by telling him he was one of his six captain's picks to play at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club
It was the quickest transition in history from amateur to the Ryder Cup, with Aberg also the first to earn a spot before having played a Major.
