Aberg, who is playing in his first Big 12 Championship, shot 71-72 – 143 for his 3-over total through two of four rounds and is four back of the leaders Bo Jin (Oklahoma State) and Quade Cummins (Oklahoma) who are at 1-under going into Tuesday.

The Red Raiders opened the day by shooting 14-over (301) which put them in sixth place, 11 behind Texas which was at 290 and a tie between TCU and Oklahoma for second with 291 team totals. After the opening round, Aberg found himself in fourth individually after shooting a 1-over, 71 following birdieing four of his first 18 holes of the championship event. Aberg made five bogeys to start the tournament, including on his finishing hole going into Monday's second round.
