Ludvig Aberg has withdrawn from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after shooting an opening round of 77 on Spyglass Hill. Aberg is citing the illness that plagued him throughout last week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines as his reason for the withdraw. After Thursday's round, Aberg spoke to the Swedish media about his illness.

Ludvig Aberg withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Friday, citing illness. After finishing as runner-up of the weather-shortened event last year, the 25-year-old Swede was among the betting favorites this week and a popular choice in fantasy golf circles.

Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg flirted with the course record in Wednesday’s opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open before settling for a 9-under 63 on the North Course for a two-stroke lead at Torrey Pines.

The Texas Tech product labored through his first 18 holes on Thursday, posting a 5-over 72 to mark the worst opening round in the field.

After a rough week at the Farmers Insurance Open, Ludvig Åberg has still not recovered and decided to pull out of Pebble Beach.
