Bjorn: “Olesen Could Be The Best In The World”

The Great Dane Thomas Bjorn has said that fellow Dane Thorbjorn Olesen could be one of the greatest players in the world.

He’s not wrong, he certainly has got a lot of talent and a lot of determination and guts to go with that ,which can be a leathel combination going forward.

They both teed it up together in the first round of the Qatar Masters and Olesen shot a fantastic four under par 68 to find himself three shots off the lead.

Olesen won his first European Tour title last year at the Sicilian Open, and  has since climbed to 42nd in the world after his second place finish last week in Abu Dhabi.

Keep your eye on this young man, he will be contending a lot this season and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him up there in a major too!

Colsaerts One Step Closer To Dream

The big hitting Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts was over the moon with his start at the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles – if things were to stay as they are he would be going to Chicago with the rest of the European Team but unfortunately he still has three more rounds to negotiate and a lot of hard work in front of him.

You have to admire the start he’s made though, I know these guys get paid a hell of lot and have a great life but it takes a lot of guts and nerve to produce a great round of golf knowing you have to come in the top two to qualify for the biggest event in golf.

He managed to shoot a three under par 69 to be one behind the brilliant Thorbjørn Olesen and said: “Exactly the day I wanted – something not very stressful.”

Even if Colsaerts doesn’t manage a top two finish he must have a good chance of a wild card if necessary, but he rightly wants qualifying for the team automatically as he feels it would do his confidence the world of good heading into the match in Chicago.

He Tamed The Tiger, But Can He Tame The Lyoness?

The smiling Dane Thorbjørn Olesen was in  fantastic form today and showed no sign of taking his foot off the gas as he established a three shot lead after his second round in windy conditions at the Lyoness Open.

There are still players out on the course but none look like they will get anywhere near him at the moment. He has carried the confidence on from The Open where he finished ninth and was paired with Tiger Woods in the third round.

Olesen started the day a shot behind Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal, and having to complete four holes of the first round after lengthy rain delays on the opening day which he did in one under par courtesy of a birdie at the 17th.

Olesen looks like a young man in great form and in complete control of his game. He managed to tame Tiger last weekend but the question is can he tame the Lyoness?
