Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen eyeing the Nordea Masters, it will not be easy for the 22-year-old!
Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen is among the players competing in the Nordea Masters in the hopes of marking their presence in the European Tour.
Olesen started his professional career in 2008 and the European Tour has been his bliss.
He has total of 6 professional wins to his name that includes a European Tour victory and a Challenge Tour win.
His participation in major championships has been negligible as he has not been active in the major circuit. He did participate in the 2011 Open Championship but missed the cut and took an early exit from the prestigious title chase.
Olesen is only 22 years old at this moment of time and has started his professional career on the right note. The Nordea Classic is the proving ground these days, as he is facing players who possess experience and raw talent from all corners of the globe.
The best part of the European Tour remains the same, diversity. Players from every nation and race compete and give the best of golf under one tour.
Olesen is facing numerous players in the Nordea Classic, yet, there is one name that remains the biggest threat to every player in the tournament, Lee Westwood.
The World number 3 has taken on the Nordea Classic to craft his skill set for the U.S Open. He is considered as the most consistent golfer in the world for a reason. His form has never fallen short to a point where he is out of major championships.
Olesen has to gear up against the British golfer in order to stay in the Nordea Classic, as his bag of experience is much heavier than any other player on the tour.
The Danish golfer may have aggressiveness as he is young, yet, the key factor in the world of golf remains the same, precision play.
If Olesen remains consistent with his precision, he may do wonders. If he fails to do so, he may become a victim of experience and consistency himself at the hands of Westwood.
Olesen should consider players like Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald as primary examples of success and glory. Being less experienced has nothing to do with greatness, it is the drive to win that leads golfers towards glory.
