Aberg tipped to be in the driving seat

Fuzzy Zoeller was the last player to triumph at Augusta National on their tournament debut in 1979, 20 years before Aberg was born.

Dan Pohl lost a play-off to Craig Stadler in 1982 and there have also been runners-up finishes for Jordan Spieth, Jonas Blixt and Sungjae Im, but Aberg faces a tall order to make history despite a brilliant start to his career.

After turning professional in June, Aberg won the final Ryder Cup qualifying event in Switzerland to earn a wild card from captain Luke Luke Donald and helped Europe regain the trophy in Rome, one of his two wins a 9&7 thrashing (with Viktor Hovland) of Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.
