PGA TOUR University on TOUR: Ludvig Åberg finishes T4 at Genesis Scottish Open
2 Min Read
Ludvig Åberg finished inside the top 10 for the seventh time this season after a T4 effort at the Genesis Scottish Open. Åberg stays at No. 6 in the FedExCup for the fourth consecutive week. Åberg has now finished in the top 12 in three of his last four starts. Åberg will make his debut at The Open Championship this Thursday and will look to add to a 2024 major record that includes a runner-up finish at the Masters and a T12 finish at the U.S. Open.
Pierceson Coody turned in his best result of the season, finishing T2 at the ISCO Championship after a five-man playoff. Coody jumps 22 spots to No. 112 after his runner-up finish. Coody held the 54-hole lead for the first time on TOUR at Keene Trace Golf Club. This is the second top-five finish of the season for Coody, with the first coming at the Charles Schwab Challenge in May where he finished T5.
Coody and Åberg, the No. 1 players in the Class of 2022 and Class of 2023, respectively, were the top alumni who played the weekend across the two TOUR events. Mac Meissner finished T16 in Kentucky, while Davis Thompson finished T46 in Scotland.
Florida State’s Luke Clanton earned another point in PGA TOUR University Accelerated, bringing his total to 11 after making the cut at the ISCO Championship. If Clanton – currently No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking – accumulates 20 total points by the end of his junior season, he will earn his PGA TOUR card via PGA TOUR University Accelerated. Clanton would become the second player to earn his card through PGA TOUR University Accelerated, joining Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent.
Eleven PGA TOUR University alumni made the cut at the Explore NB Open on PGA TOUR Americas. John Keefer finished 2nd in New Brunswick, his third straight top-five finish and second straight runner-up, and currently holds the No. 7 spot in the Fortinet Cup points list. Michael Brennan (T4)and Dylan Menante (T7) also recorded the best finishes of their seasons in New Brunswick. Frederik Kjettrup finished T49 and occupies the No. 1 in the Fortinet Cup Points list for the second straight week.
