Ludvig Aberg is quite clearly one of the most talented players on the PGA Tour.
So the question is: why does Aberg have just two PGA Tour wins to his name?
The 26-year-old Swede has had two great chances to win this season, at The Players Championship and the Valero Texas Open respectively.

However, Ludvig Aberg performed poorly during the final rounds of both PGA Tour events, ending up in a tie for fifth at TPC Sawgrass and TPC San Antonio.
It has actually been suggested that Aberg’s pace of play is far too quick for the PGA Tour, due to the fact that he is made to wait around on almost every shot.
Aberg has also just been told that he has another big issue as well – one which he needs to address.
The big problem with Ludvig Aberg which explains his lack of PGA Tour wins
Dame Laura Davies was on commentary duty during the RBC Heritage on Saturday.
And while watching Aberg make a bogey on the short par-four 13th hole at Harbour Town Golf Links, Davies made an observation about the European Ryder Cup star.

“We were saying it before, maybe that’s why he hasn’t won quite as many as we think he should win.
“He might be happy with his amount of wins, but sometimes you need a bit of hunger.
“You need to get that nasty edge sometimes to get across the line.”
Ludvig Aberg’s lack of wins now a real concern
Of course, Aberg still has an outside chance of winning the RBC Heritage, as he heads into the final round five strokes adrift of the leader, Matt Fitzpatrick.
However, considering the amount of times he has put himself in the lead during tournaments over the past couple of years, he really should have won more than just two titles by now.

The thing is, Aberg will start to lose faith in his ability to close out PGA Tour wins, unless he starts getting over the line with more regularity very soon.
Maybe Laura Davies is right. Aberg is extremely relaxed out on the golf course.
Who knows, he might just benefit from releasing the odd bit of anger here and there.
