'Uber talented' golf star tipped for Ryder Cup to complete incredible journey from betting ban to Bethpage
Marco Penge has caught the attention and PGA Tour winner says he can be the new Ludvig Aberg. Rising English star Marco Penge is being tipped to go from a betting ban to Bethpage inside nine incredible months. The 27-year-old is grabbing attention with his golfing excellence and is being backed to give European Ryder Cup skipper Luke Donald a major decision to make for September. Last December, Penge received a three-month ban, one year suspended, by the DP World Tour for placing bets on multiple events. Tour chiefs made it clear he did not bet on himself or tournaments he was participating in, but the punishment stood and he was also fined £2,000. However, Penge has responded superbly since his return to the game in mid-February and rocketed to success in April's Hainan Classic. He has continued to catch the eye and he performed impressively at Quail Hollow in the second Major of the year to come inside the Top 30 at the PGA Championship, won by Scottie Scheffler. His work has been noted by PGA pro and analyst Brendon de Jonge who believes the Englishman could launch a shock summer run for a place in the side to meet the United States in New York. Captain Donald pulled a rabbit from the hat two years ago when selecting Ludvig Aberg as a wild-card pick less than a year into his first full season. The smooth Swede repaid that faith with a terrific display at Marco Simeone as Europe won the trophy and de Jonge isn't ruling out a repeat with Penge taking the role of Aberg. Assessing potential Euro selections for the matches in the autumn, he told 5 Clubs podcast: 'Marco Penge. This guy, he got his first win on the DP World Tour and I was fortunate enough to watch him play a little bit at the PGA Championship. "Guy hits it absolute miles, cruising around that 190 mile an hour ball speed. CrBig, tall guy. This guy is uber, uber talented. I think he might be the Ludvig Aberg of this iteration of the Ryder Cup here. "He's going to be one of those guys that's going to play his way close and give Luke Donald a difficult decision to make.'

Ferguson takes charge of Soudal Open with brilliant 64
Scotland's Ewen Ferguson shot a stunning second-round 64 to move into a three-shot halfway lead at the Soudal Open in Antwerp. The 28-year-old Scot carded seven birdies at Rinkven International GC as he completed a second successive bogey-free round for an 11-under-par total. It carried him three shots clear of England's Marco Penge, with Dutch pair Joost Luiten and Darius Van Driel, American Troy Merritt and English trio John Parry, Brandon Robinson Thompson and Andrew Wilson sharing third on seven under. Ferguson said: "I quite enjoy when a par is a good score. I find it tough sometimes when you just need to make birdies and there's a lot of pressure on to make birdies. "So when it's quite tough like that to grind out pars, I feel comfortable with that because that's how I was brought up playing and in Scotland par is a brilliant score." Jason Scrivener, the lone Australian at the Belgian tournament, was six shots behind the leader in a share of ninth place, after a second-round 68.
