Aberg Tips Hovland Reunion for Ryder Cup Foursomes, Jokes About UFO Chats

Their Rome partnership set a record margin, shaping expectations for Europe's pairings this week.

Overview

  • Speaking at Bethpage Black on Wednesday, Ludvig Aberg indicated it would be surprising if he and Viktor Hovland were not paired in the Friday and Saturday foursomes.
  • Aberg said Hovland is keen on UFO conversations and quipped he has not adopted the interest, while Hovland was not interviewed that day to address it.
  • The Scandinavian duo won both foursomes in Rome two years ago, including a 9-and-7 victory over Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, the largest 18-hole margin in Ryder Cup history.
  • Aberg noted they have played multiple practice rounds since Rome and that their caddies have a strong rapport, reinforcing their on-course chemistry.
  • Once a newcomer to the event, Aberg has since risen as high as No. 4 in the world rankings and says he feels more prepared for this week.
