Michael Thorbjornsen Competing in His First Open Championship
Michael Thorbjornsen played well at the Genesis Scottish Open last week. The American golfer finished T-7 and had four rounds all in the 60's. Royal Birkdale is a different course to say the least compared to the Renaissance Club. However, Thorbjornsen has a little momentum and drives well off the tee (314.1 yards - 20th) and 60.51 accuracy (67th). The big concern is those birdie chances. Unfortunately, Thorbjornsen carries a birdie-or-better percentage of only 29.64% (120th). His approaches will have to be better but around the green, Thornbjornson ranks 22nd at 0.295 strokes gained. That may increase his chances from a DFS perspective especially with dry, warmer conditions expected on Thursday and even Friday.
