Swedish golfer Ludvig Aberg is looking to make history at the Masters Tournament Sunday.

He could become the first Masters rookie to win a green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

The accomplishment would be a big deal in his native country.

In Tallahassee, too.

The 24-year-old recently moved to Tallahassee, where he lives with friend and former Florida State golfer Vince Norrman.

Aberg also practices regularly at Seminole Legacy Golf Club.

"So I'm moving to Tallahassee, Florida," Aberg shared to the media after he captured his first PGA win with a top finish at the RSM Classic last November.

"One of my good friends, Vincent Norrman, who also plays out here, he asked me if I wanted to hop in his guest room and I said yeah. So he's going to be my landlord for a little bit. It will be nice to kind of keep that social connection and social network that I had in college and to stay with him for a little bit."

Aberg was one of eight players within five shots of leader Scottie Scheffler heading into Sunday's final round.

Aberg played golf at Texas Tech and was rose rose to number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for the first time in September 2022.

He turned professional in June 2023 and is currently No. 9 in the PGA Tour world rankings. CBS commentators during the national broadcast Sunday have pointed to Aberg's relaxed demeanor and smile during the final round.

"Very nice and genuine," FSU women's golf coach Amy Bond said Sunday of Aberg.

"Easy to like. What you see on television is him."
