24-year-old Swedish golfer, Ludvig Aberg, concluded his interview with Golf Channel and prepared to face a series of media outlets. However, upon seeing Golf Channel broadcast his hole-out birdie from 14, Aberg paused to take a look with a mischievous smile. The spectacular birdie was part of a remarkable run in which he played 6 under in five holes. On a beautiful Saturday at Sea Island Resort, Aberg finished the day with a 9-under 61, taking the lead over fellow golfer, Eric Cole, going into the final round.
Meanwhile, Cole, a 35-year-old rookie, delivered an equally impressive 61, which included five birdies and an eagle. Aberg and Cole, despite their different journeys in professional golf, have both exhibited exceptional performances, solidifying their positions as top contenders. The possibility of either of them winning the tournament could greatly influence the Rookie of the Year accolade.
Mackenzie Hughes reached the elusive 59-club on the 16th tee, with two birdies following an eagle. Despite narrowly missing this mark, Hughes is confident about his chances in the RSM Classic having already won the tournament in 2016. As for Ryan Moore, with an exceptional 62 on Saturday, he has demonstrated a significant improvement in his game, aiming to secure his place in the top 125.
The competition remains fierce as the battle for exemption in the upcoming season continues. The final round is poised to be a defining moment for many players, including Aberg and Cole. As the leaderboard changes from hole to hole, the excitement and unpredictability of the RSM Classic continues to unfold.
