PGA TOUR University On TOUR: Aberg, Gabrelcik make cut at Valspar
2 Min Read
Texas Tech senior Ludvig Åberg and North Florida junior Nick Gabrelcik both earned weekend tee times at the Valspar Championship. Currently No. 1 in the PGA TOUR University Ranking, Aberg has made the cut in his last three starts in pro events: Valspar Championship (T61), Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (T24), and the DP World Tour’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic (T70). Gabrelcik, ranked No. 12 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, carded a second-round 67 to make the cut, and he went on to finish T69 in his PGA TOUR debut.
Trevor Werbylo extended his streak to six consecutive made cuts and posted a season-best T27 finish at the Valspar Championship. The University of Arizona alumnus finished No. 9 in the PGA TOUR University Class of 2021 and was the PGA TOUR Canada Player of the Year in his first season as a pro. Last season on Korn Ferry Tour, he posted one victory and was 16th on the Regular Season Eligibility Points List, earning him his PGA TOUR card for 2022-23 season. Werbylo will be joined by Austin Eckroat in the field this week at the Corales Puntacana Championship.
At this week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, Georgia product Davis Thompson will make his fifth start in a Designated Event, where he will be in Group 15 with Cameron Young, Sepp Straka and Corey Conners.
