Anyone looking to back a true dark horse should consider Alex Noren. The 41-year-old Swedish professional isn’t likely to cash a +10,000 bet to win. He hasn’t won a tournament since 2018 and missed the cut in three of four majors last year.
However, Noren remains a consistent competitor who can challenge for a top-10 finish. He missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open but recorded top-25 finishes in nine of his last 10 tournaments.
That stretch included two top-10 finishes, plus a tie for 12th at the PGA Championship and a final-round 65—Noren’s best career round at a major.
“I’ve never hit it this good on the weekend and throughout a tournament and I showed to myself this weekend that I can compete up here,” Noren said, per the DP World Tour’s official website.
Though he only finished tied for 22nd at The Memorial, Noren’s steady play on and around the green could have him in contention on Sunday. At +650 for a top-10 finish, Noren represents a solid sleeper play.
