Alex Noren A Dark-Horse Contender This Week
2 years agoAlex Noren's WMPO history isn't extensive, though it is rock solid, with three career appearances highlighted by a T6 in last year's edition. The Swede has been off North American radars for the last few months, but we shouldn't sleep on the veteran, as he's been white hot as of late. Noren closed out his 2022 PGA Tour schedule with a T4 at the Houston Open in November, a result that he sandwiched between a pair of international runner-up finishes at the Alfred Dunhill Links and DP World Tour Championships. Noren has apparently picked up right where he left off, as he recently opened 2023 by posting a T5 in Abu Dhabi two weeks ago. His familiarity with this event, combined with his recent form, makes him a serious dark-horse contender in Phoenix.
