October 28, 2021 | Men's Golf
SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda – Texas Tech junior Ludvig Aberg is at 2-under-par and tied for 15th, while former Red Raider Mito Pereira is at 2-over (T63) at the PGA Tour's Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Aberg, who is playing as an amateur with a sponsor's exemption, completed 17 holes on Thursday before play was suspended due to darkness in his first PGA Tour round.
Brandon Hagy and Chad Ramey lead the tournament at 6-under, followed by Vincent Whaley who shot 5-under. Aberg is currently No. 3 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and began his day by shooting 4-under on his opening 12 holes before a pair of bogeys set him back a couple shots. He finished his day with three pars and will complete his first round on Friday.
Aberg is one of only 33 players currently under-par.
Pereira earned his PGA Tour card through a three-win promotion from the Korn Ferry Tour this summer and also had a shining moment in the Olympics where he was in a playoff for the bronze medal. He finished third at the Fortinet Championship in September for his best finish on Tour. Pereira is currently tied for 63rd after shooting a 73 with three birdies on his scorecard.
Pereira is scheduled to begin his second round at 10:30 a.m. (CST) on Friday, while Aberg is at 11:14 a.m. following him finishing his final hole from the first round.
