Swedish pro golfer Ludvig Aberg was shocked when the head flew off his driver, and stunned when the ball travelled 300 yards.

No wonder Ludvig Aberg is so fancied to end the 45-year curse of the Masters debutant at Augusta this week. Nothing seems beyond his extraordinary gifts.

Aberg stepped up to the 17th tee box at TPC San Antonio – his eighth hole – and attempted to reach the putting surface. However, he was aghast as his driver head flew off the shaft at impact and propelled itself in the air alongside the ball. “It was odd, bizarre,” Aberg said. “I’ve never experienced anything like that, not even in practice. I was just in shock. I’m glad the ball stayed inbounds because I really don’t know what could have happened.”
