Ludvig Aberg's rapid rise in just three months as a pro was capped Monday when the 23-year-old Swede was selected as one of the European team's captain's picks for the Ryder Cup against the United States outside Rome this month. Luke Donald filled out his team by picking Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose along with three rookies — Aberg, Sepp Straka and Nicolai Hojgaard. Straka and Hojgaard got the call ahead of Adrian Meronk in what was widely seen as Donald's toughest decision, but it's the presence of Aberg that will most excite European golf fans.
