I like Joel Dahmen this week despite how sore his hand must be from knocking on the door.

The 30-year-old Washingtonian has come into his own with five top-25s all in a row in the last five weeks.

Here’s his results in case you’ve missed them: T23 at the Quicken Loans National, T5 at the Greenbrier, T2 at the John Deere Classic, T15 at the Barbasol Championship and T8 last week at the RBC Canadian Open.

He went from wondering if he was going to make the FedEx Cup playoffs at summer’s beginning to wondering how far he can go at No. 61 entering this week.

Dahmen has been solid tee to green, sitting at 42nd in strokes gained on Tour. He hits tons of fairways and greens and is also 10th in proximity from the rough.

His putter has improved in recent weeks, but it’ll be the key club to watch to differentiate between another high finish and his first career win.

Dahmen tied for 68th in his Barracuda Championship debut last year, but it’s clear he’s on another level right now.
