Michael Thorbjornsen Looking to Bounce Back at Cognizant Classic
Michael Thorbjornsen opened Pebble Beach with a four-under 68 on Thursday but unraveled on the greens, finishing dead last in putting and losing more than 10.3 strokes with the flat stick on his way to a T78 finish. He'll look to bounce back at the Cognizant Classic, where he finished T39 last year. Thorbjornsen currently ranks 120th in total strokes gained (-0.710 per round), 106th on approach (-0.174) and 154th in putting (-0.866), though much of that is driven by his difficult week at Pebble. One encouraging sign is his proximity from 150-175 yards, where he ranks 16th (23'4") in a distance that accounted for the most approach shots here last season. After back-to-back strong finishes (T3, T18) prior to Pebble, a bounce-back from the 24-year-old would not be a surprise. If the putter improves even slightly, Thorbjornsen offers solid upside at $9,200 on DraftKings.
