Alex Noren An Olympic Dark Horse
4 months agoAlex Noren is having a bit of an up-and-down Summer, but fantasy managers should embrace his volatility at Le Golf National this week. The 42-year-old Swede has racked up six top-25 finishes and three missed cuts in his nine events dating back to May, including a third-place result at The CJ Cup and an impressive T13 in difficult conditions at The Open Championship in his most recent start. Noren also has arguably the best course history at Le Golf National, as he won the Open de France here in 2018 after two top-10 finishes in 2016 and 2017, and he also earned two points for the victorious European Ryder Cup here later in 2018. Sweden's Ludvig Aberg may be the up-and-coming star garnering the most attention, but fantasy managers should not sleep on Noren's chances of earning a spot on the podium come Sunday.
