The Swedish golfer's hopes of victory at TPC Sawgrass were derailed by an error-strewn back nine in Sunday's (15.03.26) final round and he was left to rue some disappointing shots that saw the title go to American Cameron Young instead.

Aberg said: "Obviously really disappointed. I felt like I was striking it okay early on. Got away with a few things, especially [on] No 4, kind of left miss. But overall pleased with the week. Obviously today the back nine was not good, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

"It got away from me quick there. Yeah, it was just poor swings. I felt like I've had that sort of seven-wood right miss a few times this week, on No 4 especially twice, and it came up on 11 as well.

"Then tried to press a little bit on 12, hitting driver, where sometimes you can play 3-wood a little short of that bunker. Yeah, obviously really disappointed. I would have loved to be standing where Cameron is standing right now. But overall I still felt like I saw some nice things in my game this week.

"We had sort of a game plan as driver would be an option, and today obviously the wind was a little bit different from what we've had, and it was a good wind for it. But yeah, it was a poor swing, a really poor swing, and it definitely stings a little bit."

The two-time Ryder Cup winner admitted the pressure of trying to win such an important title provoked some rushed shots in the closing holes.

Aberg said: "I definitely felt a little bit fast at times. I would imagine if I look at those swings on sort of 11, 12, they probably were quick swings.

"Takeaway got really fast and then the rest of it kind of spirals from there. That's something that I should have been aware of, now looking back. But yeah, that's the way it goes."
