Ludvig Aberg was playing the tournament of his life.
Until an unfortunate incident during the final round of the Masters threatened to derail his brilliant momentum.
Aberg spent Sunday trading blows with Scottie Scheffler and Max Homa and Collin Morikawa at Augusta National.
With each smooth hole, Ryder Cup star Aberg moved closer to Masters history.
The 24-year-old native of Sweden, who only turned pro in June, was playing in his first major and tied the lead in the final round.
But after sinking a highly impressive putt on the ninth hole, Aberg tried to refuel for the second half of the final round.
He appeared to be eating a power bar when devastation struck.
Aberg reached out to high-five celebrating patrons.
One high-fived a little too hard and accidentally knocked the bar from Aberg’s hand.
Disappointment flooded in, with Aberg clearly upset about losing his precious in-match nutrients.
He shook off the low blow and kept walking, eventually letting out a warm smile – and letting the patron know he didn’t really care that much.
However, the lost snack might have affected him on the very next hole.
While Scheffler move to nine-under, Aberg’s charge was halted at the tenth with a double-bogey after the Swede put his second shot in the water.
One fan joked: “Ludvig before this guy knocked his power bar out of his hand: -7. Ludvig since this guy knocked his power bar out of his hand: +2.”
Perhaps Aberg was halted by the patron in more ways than one.
