No one has seen Alex Noren compete in this PGA title.
How can you?
Yes, he won 10 titles on the DP World Tour, yes, he's sign The PGA Tour event, held at Philadelphia Cricket Club a week ago, ranked 51st in the 69th Championship, but his last start was 7 month Previously, at the Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
Noren has been on vacation to heal the tendons in the hamstrings. No golf, no running, no squat racks. Just extended downtime with family, this is not a lot of things the 42-year-old Swedes enjoyed in their careers.
“It's good to take a break sometimes,” Noren said on Saturday night at Quail Hollow Club, who posted the spectacular Seven Birds 66 on the Quail Hollow Club, which brought him to eight o'clock in the race and eventually tied him with the last pair on Sunday, with two-thirds, Scottie Scottie Scheffler. “I missed it, but I also liked the stuff at that time, which helped me realize that if you break it, I don’t think it’s the end of the world.”
These are amazing things Noren heard because he is not the one who can roll up the sofa with an Afghan blanket people Magazine. In fact, Noren is known for being one of the toughest workers on professional golf courses, or at least that's how Rory McIlroy once described Noren. He just pursues it. In the course, in the gym, within the scope of the Ryder Cup. Especially within range. It became clear to golf fans when they started to tour on social media in 2017.
As Noren said, the image was first released by his Swedish Kristoffer Broberg after Noren finished his hard practice at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships. The social team at the DP World Tour then reposted the image with the title, which read: “Noren is one of the toughest workers on the tour and he often wears two sets of gloves during practice to protect his hands from the day's impact.”
In 2022, Noren talked about the photo on a podcast hosted by Mike McGraw, Oklahoma. He said in explaining how his hands became so weird, “It was a mix of hard training and dedication – but also anxious. If I hit it like Rory McIlroy, it wouldn’t be like that.”
He added: “I need to hit a lot of balls to be competitive, maybe the club slipped a little bit. [in my grip]maybe there is friction, I don't know. But that's the truth. ”
Noren said that shortly after posting the photo, Tiger Woods approached him in the locker room during the tour and said, “'Alex, can I see your hand?” I was like, “Yes,” and I showed him and he said, 'Yes,'”
Noren will hold the biggest round of his life on Sunday at Quail Hollow, against the world's No. 1 toes and toes and quirky.
Schefler may outperform Noren, but he will not be tired.
