2023 BMW PGA Championship: Ludvig Aberg seizes co-lead after Round 2 as sensational run continues

The rookie Ryder Cup selection surged to the top of the leaderboard at Wentworth on Friday

Ludvig Aberg is coming. That much has been made clear. Following his win at the European Masters a few weeks ago and his selection as a captain's pick on the European Ryder Cup team by Luke Donald, hopes were high for his BMW PGA Championship showing at Wentworth Club this week.

Thus far, he has exceeded them.

Following a 68 on Thursday in Round 1, he shot a 66 in Round 2 (with a double!) to grab a share of the 36-hole lead with fellow Swede, Sebastian Soderberg. And Aberg did it all in front of two playing partners you may have heard of, Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.
