Rory McIlroy will find it tough to overhaul Ludvig Aberg at the US Open (Image: Getty) Rory McIlroy and the rest of the chasing pack have been on notice after Ludvig Aberg hit the front at the US Open. Just a year after turning professional, Aberg held a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of his US Open debut and only the third major championship of his career. Aberg added a 69 to his opening 66 at Pinehurst to finish five under par, a shot ahead of Belgium’s Thomas Detry and the American pair of Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Cantlay.
McIlroy, Tony Finau and Matthieu Pavon were left two shots off the lead on three under. The last player to win the US Open on their tournament debut was amateur Francis Ouimet in 1913, but Aberg repeating that feat would come as no great surprise following an extraordinary start to his professional career. The Swede joined the paid ranks in June 2023 but quickly won on the DP World Tour.
