- Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg, who finished solo second in his Masters debut last month, withdrew on Monday from this week's PGA Tour event with a knee issue but expects to return in time for next week's PGA Championship.
World number six Aberg was set to make his Quail Hollow debut in Charlotte, North Carolina where a field headlined by world number two Rory McIlroy are competing in the final tune-up ahead of the May 16-19 PGA Championship."Unfortunately, I'm dealing with a knee issue and after consulting with my doctors, we think it's best that I take some additional time to rest," Aberg said in a statement released by the PGA Tour.
Aberg's runner-up finish at Augusta National, where he made his major championship debut, was the best by a Swede at the Masters. In his most recent start, at the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Aberg earned his fifth top-10 finish of the year.
