Scottie Scheffler spoke with the media and breaks down his opening round at the 2025 Genesis Invitational.
PGA TOUR
Despite being ranked among the top-10 golfers in the world, Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg only had one PGA Tour win under his belt heading into the 2025 Genesis Invitational, back in November 2023. However, thanks to a tremendous final round 66, one stroke off the the lowest score ever tallied by a champion at Torrey Pines, Aberg was able to comeback from a deficit to win the event by one stroke over second-place Maverick McNealy.
With the win, Aberg not only claims the biggest championship of his young career, but the biggest check as well, bringing home $4 million. While McNealy and world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler each had opportunities to take the trophy, piling up a myriad of birdies throughout the final round, nobody was able to keep pace with Aberg’s remarkable play.
The Swede shot a phenomenal 32 on the back-nine which included four birdies over his final six holes. Here are highlights and the leaderboard from the 2025 Genesis Invitational.
