Aberg leads No. 5 Tech at Valspar Collegiate
March 28, 2022 | Men's Golf
PALM CITY, Florida – Texas Tech junior Ludvig Aberg is at 7-under-par at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational which has him in seventh after two rounds on Monday at the Floridian Golf Club.
The No. 5 Red Raiders are tied for eighth at 4-under behind No. 10 Pepperdine which has a commanding lead at 29-under, No. 6 Arizona State (-14) and No. 4 North Carolina (-12). Tech shot 280-284 – 564 in its two rounds on the first day going into a 7:30 a.m. start time on Tuesday for the final round. Pepperdine's Dylan Menante leads the tournament at 13-under individually, followed by Clemson's Jacob Bridgeman who is at 12-under.
Aberg shot 67-68 – 135 on the first day of the tournament, including making an eagle on No. 15 to move to 5-under in his second round before a double on his finishing hole. Aberg followed his first round of 67 by shooting 5-under on his opening eight holes of his second round. He would make a bogey on 13, a birdie on 13 and then a double on 14. His eagle on the par 5, 535-yard No. 15 highlighted his day that ended with him at 7-under.
Baard Skogen is four strokes behind Aberg after posting 69-70, while Calum Scott shot 73-72 and Kyle Hogan fell back from a first-round 71 by shooting 78 in his second round. Sandy Scott shot 76-74 on Monday in his first round back with two birdies in his second round and is currently at 8-over. The tournament is the first for Sandy Scott since an injury at the 2020 Maridoe Collegiate Invite. A two-time All-American, Sandy's scoring averages of 70.2 in the 2018-19 season and 70.5 (2019-20) are the second and third best in program history. Along with his collegiate career, Sandy Scott has played in the Walker Cup and the U.S. Open.
As a team, Tech is currently at No. 5 in the Golfstat rankings, No. 6 in the Golfweek ratings and at No. 8 in the most recent Bushnell Golfweek Coaches Poll. The Red Raiders return from Florida to play in the Aggie Invitational from April 9-10 in Bryan before playing their final regular-season event at the Thunderbird Collegiate on April 15-16 in Phoenix. The events lead into the Big 12 Championship in Trinity, Texas from April 25-27 before the NCAA Tournament.
