IRVING, TEXAS -- Â Texas Tech senior Ludvig Aberg has been tabbed Big 12 Conference Golfer of the Month for the Month of October, the conference announced Tuesday.
Â
A native of Eslov, Sweden, Aberg earned conference honors for the third consecutive season.
Â
The senior continued to cement himself as the top golfer in the country in October. Aberg opened the month with an 8th-place finish at the loaded Ben Hogan field.
Â
His performance helped the Red Raiders place second in the field which featured six top-10 teams and 13 in the top-25. The wins kept coming for Aberg at the Big 12 Match play event, where he sunk back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18 to turn an all-squared match into a two-up victory.
Â
The match gave the Red Raiders three points and set the stage for the team to earn another Big 12 Match Play title. For the week, Aberg went 4-1 with a pair of 5 up victories.
Â
If it were stroke play, Aberg would have shot an amazing -26 in his five rebounds including rounds of -7 and -6. When Tech needed him the most, he delivered, shooting a final round 66 in Houston.
Â
Aberg was also named to the 20-person Haskins Award Watch List earlier in the month. With the victory, the Red Raiders notched their second team championship of the fall, and became the first Big 12 program to win the matchplay event twice.
Â
With the win in Houston, the Red Raiders also surged to No. 1 in the GolfStat polls for the first time since 2019.
Â
In addition to his Big 12 honor this morning, Aberg reassumed the top spot in the World Amateur Golf Rankings and increased his lead in the PGA TOUR U Rankings. Aberg has a nearly 80 point lead over Austin Greaser of North Carolina.
Â
The last Velocity Global Ranking update of the fall season will be November 23, and at that time the No. 1 player will earn an exemption into the DP World Tour's Dubai Desert Classic (January 26-29, 2023).
Â
The top 10 players in the final Velocity Global Ranking will earn Korn Ferry Tour membership next season, with finishers 1-5 earning exempt member status, while No. 6-10 will be awarded conditional membership. Additionally, players finishing 6th through 20th will be exempt members on PGA TOUR Canada and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.
