It takes Ludvig Aberg less than 4 seconds on average to step into the shot and hit it.
One extended waggle, one look at the target and go.
Effortless perfection.
On Wednesday, I asked Michael Thorbjornsen for his hottest golf take, and after a long, thoughtful pause, he said “let’s not roll back the golf ball.”
Asked him why not, and he went on for over a minute on why “long and straight” should still be rewarded, a very similar argument to @chambleebrandel ‘s on the matter.
Thorbjornsen, who will play in the final group on Sunday in his first-ever Players Championship, ranks third in the field in SG/OTT this week and has hit 29 of 42 fairways (69%). For the season he ranks 20th on tour in driving distance, averaging 313.7 yards
