The third round of the BMW Championship is setting up to be Ludvig Aberg's Michael Jordan flu game, and by flu game we mean nose-bleed game.
That's right, the young Swede is feeling the effects of the altitude/dry air out in Castle Rock, Co., where his nose started bleeding as he made his way toward the first green at Castle Pines on Saturday. Not the best timing with Aberg firmly in contention, sitting just a few shots off the lead of Adam Scott.
How did the 24-year-old handle it? By laughing it off, wiping his nose with the dirtiest part of his towel, and then burying a 53-foot putt from off the green for an opening birdie. True story:
First-Team, All-Grit. Shades of Matt Harvey. If you know, you know.
Having said that, we're still not quite sure why he used the most disgusting end of the towel. Look at all that clean white in the middle:
WIld move. Somebody get this guy a Kleenex, pronto.
