Thorbjorn Olesen appears to be the clear favorite this week. The Dane won the Rolex Series event the Italian Open in June and has five total top-10s.

Since that Italian Open win, Olesen finished T2 at the BMW International Open, T6 at the Irish Open, T12 at the Open, T3 at the WGC-Bridgestone and T56 at the PGA Championship.

Olesen’s stats are pretty balanced so far this season. He’s been a good scrambler (32nd) and solid with the irons (56th in strokes gained on approaches).

He’s a birdie-making machine (15th with 4.31 per round) and can go very low if his game’s on point. Even a “B” effort could get the job done.

Olesen is in contention for a European Tour Ryder Cup spot. A win here could help his cause in the final hours.

Let’s just hope his luggage snafu gets taken care of.

Another week, another set of missing golf clubs and lost baggage with @AmericanAir & @British_Airways. Any chance you could help find all of my luggage and send it to me before my tournament this week?! Need them for work!! Thanks
