At some stage in what promises to be a phenomenal career, something will go badly wrong for Ludvig Aberg.

So far, nothing has. First he climbed to the top of the amateur game, then he made a seamless transition to the pro ranks and earned his PGA Tour card. When Luke Donald challenged him to prove his Ryder Cup worth in Europe, he powered home to win the European Masters. In a very short space of time, he's gone from the essence of a wildcard to feeling like a key man for his captain.

Now comes another hurdle: his first 54-hole lead. Aberg is two ahead at Wentworth as he goes in search of back-to-back wins less than a hundred days since he turned professional. He looks every inch a superstar and there is no perceptible weakness in his game, Rory McIlroy already gushing not over his driving (Aberg is statistically just about the best at that already), but the control he has over his wedges.

Although he didn't putt well in Switzerland, it didn't stop him. And, come Sunday in what still feels like the biggest event on the DP World Tour calendar, he could feasibly do something similar. When you're reducing par-fives to a wedge and firing darts into what's meant to be a fearsome 15th hole, you really don't need to do more than hold your own on the greens. Aberg has done more than that.

Talk of a rotten Sunday in Surrey, which has already seen tee-times moved forward, might suggest he could suffer ill fortune, but it looks like it'll either be more than playable or the total opposite. When wind and rain comes so might thunder and lightning so it's hard to argue he'll be blown off course, more likely asked to leave it with everyone else and potentially even return on Monday should the worst of it arrive.
