A month ago, the Swede had an illness-filled weekend to forget at Torrey Pines but returned for the relocated Genesis and a far better result, Bob Harig writes.
Torrey Pines and that made for a rocky couple of weeks, capped by a victory at the same place he left in distress, a couple of high scores making him feel even worse.
“Was nice to come here sort of starting to feel like myself again and physically getting there. It means a lot. This is the best field in golf and to be able to do what I did today is definitely going to help me going forward in the future.” “Yeah, it was rough for a while,” Åberg said. “Round 1 was fine, Round 2 was fine, and I sort of woke up in the middle of the night. I guess this must have been Friday night because we started Wednesday, going into the third round, and I started throwing up, and it wasn’t very enjoyable. And then it sort of was okay for a couple of days, and then at Pebble, it kind of shifted to like feverish and almost like body aches and shivering. First, I was really hot. Then I got really cold.
“Overall, coming back after a four-ish-week layoff and not really having a ton of time to prep, I'm pretty pleased,” said Scheffler, who tied for ninth at Pebble Beach, tied for 25th last week at the WM Phoenix Open and tied for third Sunday. Woods, who won eight times at Torrey Pines including the 2008 U.S. Open, was on hand for the final day, a thrill for any young player who wins his tournament.
The Swede had his own patience issues to overcome. After winning quickly upon turning pro in 2023 and having a starring role at the Ryder Cup, he failed to capture any titles last year, seemingly coming up short repeatedly on the final day, although he had nine worldwide top-10s.You’d never know it by his demeanor, typically calm and collected, with a golf swing that is the envy of his peers.
