Watch: Ludvig Aberg gets a bloody nose, buries a 53-foot bomb at 2024 BMW Championship

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — U2 once recorded the album "Under a Blood Red Sky" not far from Castle Pines Golf Club at famed Red Rocks. Instead of Sunday, Bloody, Sunday, it was Saturday, bloody, Saturday for Ludvig Aberg at the BMW Championship.

The Swede got a bloody nose from the high altitude but he didn't let it bother him. Located east of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is known as the Mile High City because its elevation is exactly one mile or 5,280 feet above sea level. Castle Pines is even higher, reaching a peak of 6,305 feet. The thin, mountain air gave Aberg a nose bleed on the first hole, but he wiped it away and then stepped up and buried a 53-foot birdie putt at the par 5 and smiled with glee.

Who said golfers never bleed?
