Captain includes rising star with Sepp Straka, Nicolai HøjgaardTommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose also included
The meteoric rise of Ludvig Aberg will continue with a Ryder Cup debut in Rome later this month, after the emerging Swedish superstar was selected by Luke Donald as one of six European captain’s picks.
Aberg, who only played in his first event as a professional in June, won the European Masters on Sunday to make himself an option Donald could not ignore. The 23-year-old is the standout name among Donald’s wildcard selections. The former top ranked amateur in the world shot 64 to secure victory in Switzerland, in just his ninth tournament since joining the professional ranks.
