Alex Noren A Wild Card At FedEx St. Jude Championship
4 months agoAlex Noren is having a bit of an up-and-down Summer, and fantasy managers will likely have a tough time evaluating his potential at TPC Southwind this week. The 42-year-old Swede has racked up six top-25 finishes and three missed cuts in his ten starts dating back to May, with his most recent appearance being a T-45 in a 6-man field at the Paris Olympics. Noren also profiles as a poor course fit this week, as he ranks outside of the top-40 golfers over the last 24 rounds in several key statistical categories, including driving accuracy, approach play from 125-200 yards, opportunities gained, and par 5 scoring. He does, however, rank 11th in good drive percentage, 12th in Bermuda putting, has performed well on comp courses, and is likely to carry low ownership with a $7,200 DraftKings salary this week. Noren will likely be a coin toss for fantasy managers heading to Memphis.
