Ludvig Aberg is favourite to win RSM classic as he is in good form and has been knocking on the door from quite a time to register his first PGA tour win. He was T10 on WWT at EL Cardonal course. I think this is right time for him to register his first victory and grab 1.5 million USD prize to end his season on high note.
