Talk about someone who has been playing some great golf recently, the Swede has started 2021 with a 22nd, 2nd, and 12th.

During that span, Norlander has gained with his Irons in each event, even after a slow start at the Waste Management last week he still came back to record another top-25 finish.

Henrik was 25th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and he came into that start not showing nearly the form that he has been of late.  I’m riding this incredible start by the Swede and going with Norlander at Pebble this week.

The number is a bit short for Streelman, but it is hard to argue against it this week. Kevin makes for my first real course history play this week but he also comes back to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in excellent form.

A 22nd last week was Kevin’s best showing of 2021 so far, but more importantly, was his noticeable Iron numbers, Streelman gained over 4 strokes in that department in Phoenix, indicating that his game is clicking into gear just in time for an event he has played superbly in the past.

Streelman’s history at this event the past three years read, 2nd, 7th, 6th, and he has finished inside the top 25 in his other two starts over the past five years at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
