Michael Thorbjornsen Trending in Wrong Direction Entering Colonial
Michael Thorbjornsen opened the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with a bogey-free 64 before following it up with a two-over 73 on Friday to miss the cut. He now turns to the Charles Schwab Challenge, where his only previous appearance ended in a withdrawal due to a wrist injury. Colonial typically rewards accurate driving, short-iron play, and hot putting. Thorbjornsen ranks 103rd in total strokes gained (-0.120 per round), 115th on approach (-0.169), 140th in putting (-0.418), and 62nd in driving accuracy. He also sits in just the 49th percentile in proximity from 100-150 yards, a range that accounted for more than 34% of approach shots here last year. At $8,200 on DraftKings, Thorbjornsen appears to be trending in the wrong direction and profiles as a risky fantasy option this week.
