How Sweeed It is!
Ludvig Aberg (+3200), or “Sweed” as he is known around The Bettor Clubhouse, got his revenge on Torrey Pines South capturing The Genesis Invitational with a 1 shot victory over Maverick McNealy. Coming into the week, the clubhouse question around Sweed was how would he play in his first tournament back in full health. He started off slow on Thursday (+2, 74), but found his game over the next two days to put himself just 2 shots back of leader Patrick Rodgers after 54 holes. For a while on Sunday, it looked like the Mav McNealy show. The Stanford alum played brillantly for 63 holes after opening with + 5/41 and finished at -11 after a missed birdie putt on the 72nd. In the end it was a a touch of class from Ludvig who finished his final 6 holes in 4 under par including a clutch up and down for birdie on the 72nd to capture his 2nd career PGA Tour Victory at the age of 25!

Condolences to Looney and Champ as they had Sweed in their sights, but failed to pull the trigger. Looney saw Sweed’s pre-tournament odds start at 32/1 on Monday Night, but hesistated due to his Torrey Pines South statistics. While Champ’s Buy and Sell segment he posted to X (Champs311) on Saturday morning, circled Ludvig at 12/1 as the bet to make for those willing to take on Scottie and Rory. Next time gents!
Disappointing week for the Clubhouse One and Done Contest entry, Collin Morikawa. Each day gave Collin different issues on the course. Thursday: Irons. Friday: Putter. Saturday: Driver. Sunday: Around the Green. A Birdie-Eagle finish on his last two holes of the tournament helped him secure $270,714.29. In a small, signature event field that result pushed us out of the money for the first time this season. Clubhouse looking for a bounce back South of the Border this week in Mexico!
