Michael Thorbjornsen Looks To Keep Momentum Going In Utah
1 month agoIt was a solid week in Mississippi for Michael Thorbjornsen as the young 23-year-old rode a hot putter to a T8 finish. He ranked seventh on the week in strokes gained putting (+1.48) and fourth in strokes gained off the tee (+0.88), both of which he was very hot and cold in the seven events played in the regular season after turning pro in June. Getting acclimated to the professional circuit is an uphill battle for most players, and it certainly appears that Thorbjornsen is no different. That being said, a new venue for the PGA Tour levels the playing field for new guys going up against journeyman players with a wealth of course knowledge. It wouldn't be surprising to see someone with his talent put together another solid showing, even if the overall stats don't support it. At $10,600 on FanDuel, it's a hefty price to pay for such a wide variety of outcomes and should be viewed as a risky play with high upside should the strong play with the driver and putter continue.
