Ludvig Aberg withdraws from 3rd round of The American Express with illness
Ludvig Aberg, a two-time Ryder Cup player, withdrew while 7-under par due to illness; he is the fourth player to exit The American Express this week, PGA Tour officials said.
On Saturday, Ludvig Aberg, two-time Ryder Cup player, withdrew from The American Express in La Quinta, California with an illness.
Aberg had previously suffered a similar illness about this time last year that caused him to lose 10 pounds during his first start of the year.
Playing the Stadium Course, Aberg stopped mid-round while 7-under at PGA West, La Quinta, and former PGA Tour player Jeff Gove filled in so his amateur partner retained a teammate.
It was the fourth withdrawal this week as Aberg left The American Express with illness, following earlier exits by Luke Clanton, Rico Hoey and Nick Dunlap.
After an earlier mid-event exit, Aberg returned to Torrey Pines where he was in contention, enduring a 74-79 weekend before winning the Genesis Invitational, showing his comeback potential.
