Matt Brown took a flier on Thorbjorn Olesen due to compelling statistical modeling results despite some issues with driving accuracy (90th in good drive percentage but top-30 in driving distance). Olesen still ranked ninth overall in Brown’s model, even with the accuracy concerns, highlighting recent strong performances on the European Tour (T2, T7, and T3 finishes). Brown believes his form in Europe signals potential for significant upside and is optimistic about Olesen making a splash stateside at Memorial Park.

Brandon Gdula mentioned Thorbjorn Olesen as an intriguing low-cost DFS selection, noting he uniquely ranks positive across all four strokes-gained categories (off-the-tee, approach, around-the-green, putting) over the last 50 rounds among golfers priced below $9,300. Despite limited recent event history, Olesen's solid putting within 15 feet boosts his value significantly, presenting DFS lineup flexibility at a modest $8,500 salary.
