Jäkla intressant av Oskar Åsgård, f.d. Sv Golf i en tråd på FB om Åberg ska få ett wild card:
OÅ:
Would be a devastating mistake not to pick him, so I have full faith he’ll be on the team and make a huge statement in Rome! 

Random dude:
Oskar Åsgård would be a huge mistake to pick a him instead of Rose, Meronk, Powers, R.Højgaard, N. Højgaard Fleetwood ect. Its too early eventhough he has shown form and bite.
You dont go on tour few months ago and then become apart of the Ryder Cup team without a win and shown you Can play under pressure!! So not gonna happen!
OÅ:
Ulrik Andersen Rose, Nicolai & Meronk should be on the team, not debating that. Fleetwood is of course a lock. But, Rasmus has played poorly since his win and is not good enough off the tee for the course setup in Italy. Power has not played well for a while either. Look into the strokes gained data and you will see. There was a time when RC picks (mainly American) were made on gut feel and the fact that you ”earned” your spot on the team based on RC play in the past and tournament wins several years in the past. That has led to disatrous results. Case in point, Phil and Bryson in 2018, Kaymer & Westwood in 2016. Picking Ludvig now would be more akin to the modern, stats driven approach that made Scottie Scheffler a given pick for the U.S. in 2021. Remember, Scheffler had not won at that point. Six months later he was world no 1. That’s the type of ceiling we’re talking about with Ludvig and the stats back it up. I’m not saying Ludvig will be world #1 next year, but I’d be happy to bet you he’ll be inside the top 15 a year from now. Rasmus, Seamus, Paul etc don’t have the same trajectory.
RD:
Oskar Åsgård he has 97 points on race to Dubai and played 3 tournements on tour of what he made one top 10 finish and missed 1 Cut??? Where Can you justify a Ryder Cup pick out of this?? Besides that you’re saying Rasmus, is bad of tee, but the course in Rome is not a course where are you use a lot of drivers more irons, and 3 woods because it’s tight and heave rough.
OÅ:
Ulrik Andersen Ok, Ulrik, it’s obvious my point is not coming across. Let’s dig deeper into this. Let’s first agree on a fact: The 2023 Ryder Cup is played on Marco Simone GC.
If we look at the winners of the Italian Open at this course since its rebuild, Nicolai won in 2021 (Meronk was second that year), Bob Mac won in 2022 and Meronk won this year.
What commonality can we find between these three golfers? Elite drivers of the golf ball. All three are very long, Meronk is also very accurate.
During their wins at Marco Simone GC Nicolai gained +1,59 strokes over the field off the tee. Meronk gained +1,78 strokes off the tee during his win this year.
They did this by hitting it farther and straighter than the field. If you believe that hitting long irons off the tee at Marco Simone will give you an advantage over players like Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa etc, I’m sorry to say, but that would be kidding yourself.
Can you guess which the two best players off the tee on the DPWT during 2023 are? Yep, Nicolai #1 and Meronk #2. Rasmus’ ranking on that same list? #105.
Now, do you know who is the best on the PGA Tour off the tee since June (minimum of 20 rounds played to count)?
Oh, yeah baby, LUDVIG ÅBERG! #2 on that list Rory, #3 Scottie Scheffler.
Ludvig has played pro events for three months. He has been an elite driver for the past 2-3 years, cleaning up on the amateur/college scene and winning a few pro events on the Nordic League along the way.
Check this page out (Data Golf Rankings) if you would like to dig deeper into the stats yourself. Ludvig is currently ranked 54th in the world, with 10 European in front of him on that list.
If you still want to argue that his body of work in the pro ranks is too thin, that’s fine. I’m not saying he’s had a long time to prove himself on the pro tours. But the way he’s done it so far is pretty impressive, especially so when you dive deeper into the stats.
Just as in stocks, poker or any other sports I would MUCH rather be starting the competition with the odds in my favor. That would be the case in Rome if Ludvig is on the team.
If you aren’t already familiar with them I’d recommend reading books like Moneyball or Every Shot Counts. It will deepen your understanding of what it takes to win in golf.
And if you still want to see an accurate, but not world class long hitting player on the team, look no further than Alexander Bjork! His case to be picked is WAY stronger than Rasmus’ at this point
