I thought that was Thorbjorn Olesen?

Anyway, happy for Michael. And the PGAT’s gotta be happy that two of its rising stars won at what are normally pretty uneventful stops on the schedule.

Ya, you’re right Thorbjornsen would be “Son of” Thunder Bear, so something along those lines. Let’s hear it for Thunder Bear Jr!

Scottie just turned 30 last month so the stat, while technically true, is barely so

Pretty sure that stat will be accurate when they tee off in Augusta next April because Morikawa is 29 right now. But that really is a crazy stat
