Ludvig Aberg

Quick Quotes

Q. What's it been like so far?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: It's been to play a lot of golf and stop swinging golf. I would like to sort of see the ball flights, hit the ball flights, and I've kept the score over the last couple days just to sort of get that competitive sort of situation, simulation I guess.

Q. Is that different than what it would be look in normal tournaments, about this course specifically?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Yeah, I think a little bit. I always liked to do it on Wednesdays, but this time I've done it every day, which I've enjoyed doing and I think it's been good for me.

Q. Is the wind playing any differently on the 12th hole with the trees down? Have you noticed anything?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: I haven't noticed it. It's always going to being swirling. We had some gusting there yesterday. I think you're always going to have coming kind of in your face and behind your back.

Try to hit a little flatter shot. Just take that out a little bit. But haven't noticed any difference.

Q. What's the wind do on that hole?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Anything. Anything. Whatever it wants. It can be in your back, in your face. It's just a part of it.

Q. Rookies aren't the supposed to win the Masters; you came very close to doing so last year. Second time round with one Masters tournament under your belt, do you feel more at home, more comfortable, more at ease?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: I think so. Augusta is a place where experience plays a big role and sort of know where to leave it. I'm sure we're going to see some different winds and pins to last year so that will be more in the sort of experience bank, if you will.

Yeah, looking forward to get some more experience on the golf course, and playing in this tournament on this venue is always a treat.

Q. I don't know if you've got the same analogy in Swedish of the swan serenely gliding across the surface and underneath the legs are going like crazy. Basically means you just appear so calm and unflappable all the time.

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: Okay.

Q. But under the surface are the legs going like crazy or are you as calm as you always appear?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: That was a good analogy. Yeah, there will always be bots and things going on in your head. Although it might look a certain way from the outside, there is definitely things going on on the inside, like you said.

It's a part of it. We're all humans. We all have to deal with the same sort the emotions and roller coaster things that go through a round of golf, especially when you're trying to win a tournament.

And, yeah, might look one way, but definitely legs are going.

Q. You're obviously paired with Rory for the first two days. There will be a lot of eyeballs on that group. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

LUDVIG Ã…BERG: I think so. I think it's great. Obviously playing Rory you expect good golf and you expect him to come out firing, which is always fun to play with players that are playing well.

I think it'll be a cool group, obviously playing with him here. Played a practice round last year together here. Be cool to see him in tournament as well.
