Alex Noren A Player To Watch At PGA National
6 months agoAlex Noren should be catching the attention of fantasy managers at the Cognizant Classic. The 41-year-old Swede and OWGR No. 67 has been quietly playing solid golf and looks to be an excellent course fit for PGA National. He enters the week on the heels of nine-straight made cuts, including a T3 at the Shriners Children's Open and a solo runner-up finish at the Bermuda Championship. Noren should be able to manage the tough test awaiting at PGA National, as he ranks seventh in par-3 scoring, 22nd around-the-green, 14th in putting on Bermuda, and third in bogey avoidance over the last 36 rounds. He also gained strokes from tee-to-green in all four of his rounds en route to a T5 finish in his last start here in 2022. In the year of the longshots and first-time Tour winners, fantasy managers would not be surprised to see Noren's name at the top of the leaderboard once again on Sunday.
