Ludvig Aberg shot a second straight 9-under 61 on Sunday (November 19) to secure the RSM Classic 2023, marking his maiden PGA Tour title. He finished with a total of 29-under after four rounds, securing a four-stroke victory over Mackenzie Hughes.
Åberg remained bogey-free on the front nine, recording five birdies, including three consecutive ones on holes 4–6. On the back nine, he opened with a couple of birdies but bogeyed the 12th after missing an 11-foot putt. However, this proved to be his only error, as he proceeded to sink five more birdies in the remaining holes.
Despite carding a bogey-free 7-under 63, Hughes, who had shot a remarkable 60 on Saturday, managed only two birdies on the back nine, settling for the runner-up position.
