Luke Donald had the difficult task of selecting the best 12 for the Ryder Cup. The Europeans have many quality players at their disposal. Donald thought carefully before he made his decision. At the same time, he knew that his decisions could cause many reactions, especially negative ones. Ludvig Aberg is one of the surprises. Although he only became a professional golfer a few months ago, Donald saw enormous quality in him and decided that Aberg should be part of the European team.

"We obviously knew what he was doing in the college scene," Donald said, as quoted by skysports.com! 

"You look at what he did in those four years and the only comparables really were Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm. He is that good.

I played with him in Detroit and was blown away by his game. He continued to impress and I challenged him to come over to Europe and play a couple (of events)."

Luke Donald praises Ludvig Aberg

Donald didn't mince words when praising this talented young golfer. Luke saw that he has a great deal of potential. The golf scene has not seen such a talent for a long time. It seems as though such talent hasn't emerged for a long time. There is no doubt that he is going to be dominant in the upcoming years.

"He was tied-fourth in the Czech Masters and you know what he did yesterday. It was like a walk in the park for him and for someone that is so inexperienced it was just so, so impressive.

I really do have a lot of faith and belief in Ludvig. He is a generational player, he's going to be around a long time and he's going to do amazing things. If he wasn't going to play this one he was going to play the next eight Ryder Cups, that's how good I think he is.

He proved it on Sunday, he's a cool customer too. The statistics show he would be the No 1 driver this year, ahead of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler."
