Editors note: This story has been updated to reflect Ludvig Aberg's finish at the Masters

Ludvig Aberg isn't playing like a rookie at The Masters.

Building off a strong Round 3 on Saturday in which he shot 2-under par, Aberg, 24, finished second in the 2024 Masters Tournament with an overall finish of seven under par. He trailed only World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who won his second Masters in three years.

This is Aberg's first trip to the Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters, as the Swedish golfer turned professional in June 2023. He finished runner-up in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and eighth in The Players Championship in March. He has one win on the PGA Tour, winning the 2023 RSM Classic with a score of 29 under par, four strokes ahead of second-place Mackenzie Hughes.

Aberg is 9 under in the first nine during the week at Augusta National but playing above par in the back nine at two over par according to the CBS broadcast. Here's everything to know about Aberg heading into the final holes in the 2024 Masters Tournament:
