No matter how easy Aberg can make it look, he notes that it has been anything but simple as he sorts through everything required. Aberg’s current task is working through a knee injury that forced him to sit out last week’s Wells Fargo Championship. He said it was precautionary and his knee is fine, but he will wear a brace just to be safe.He appeared OK while practicing on the range and working on his short game before hitting Valhalla’s hilly terrain one last time in preparation for another moment on a big stage.
Aberg earned a lot of attention at Augusta National. He went into the final round just three shots back and briefly was tied for the lead early on the back nine before finishing four shots back of Scheffler.
