Alex Noren Brings Improved Short Game To Pinehurst
5 months agoAlex Noren has always been known for his strong approach play, but it's been his improved around-the-green numbers that have seen him place in the top-25 in all but one of his last 10 events on the PGA Tour. The Sweden native is typically known for firing low numbers at scoring-friendly tracks, but this new element to his game could allow him to hang around during the tough stretches in major conditions, allowing him to birdie a few important holes down the stretch to stay in contention. It would be ridiculous to hint at Noren winning this event in his Pinehurst debut at 41 years of age, but at $6,900 on DraftKings a top-10 finish would be quite valuable. Noren appears to be a strong GPP play for those who are making multiple DFS tournament lineups for the U.S. Open this week.
