The only thing less known among American golf fans than Alex Noren (who started at Oklahoma State in 2001) might be the tournament he won on Sunday by two strokes over Francesco Molinari, the BMW PGA Championship.
The BMW PGA is the European Tour’s flagship event as well as its answer to the PGA Tour’s Players Championship. In other words, a big deal. Noren came back from seven down with a course record 62 on Sunday and made an eagle at the final hole to notch his fifth victory in the last 12 months.
The eagle was filthy.
