Thorbjorn Olesen comes into the British Masters on a steady roll. The Dane has made six cuts in a row and has finished top 20 in six of the last seven events.

Add in his dominating singles win over Jordan Spieth and it’s easy to see why life’s good for the Thunder Bear.

Olesen won this year against a strong field at the Italian Open and has six top-10s overall.

If the course plays wet and soft, Olesen will benefit. He’s not a straight hitter but is aggressive (eighth in birdies). Plus, at 11th in scrambling, he can work around his mistakes well.

Olesen skipped last week’s Alfred Dunhill Links, so he should be ready to roll this week. Plus, he has good vibes from qualifying for the 2016 U.S. Open from Walton Heath.
