Ludvig Åberg is the world's most talked-about young golfer and is about to play in his first Ryder Cup less than four months after the 23-year-old Swede turned pro. It's not just his long and accurate drives that set him apart from other up-and-coming talents. It's the composure and temperament that helped Åberg rip through the college golf scene in the United States and was noticeable even before that as a kid playing in southern Sweden. Yet the tension and raucous atmosphere of a Ryder Cup can bring the fire out of even the most mild-mannered of golfers.
