He attributes it to the country\u2019s people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Danes in general have a very good mentality, a strong mentality growing up, and I think that\u2019s part of why we have success at golf,\u201d Olesen said. \u201cThere have been players in the past who made the way for us, especially Thomas, who is a good friend of mine. You see guys who have done great things, and it makes you believe that you have a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
He will aim for his 16th win worldwide \u2014 he\u2019s won eight times on the European Tour \u2014 and his first on the PGA Tour this weekend. Olesen has two top 10 PGA Tour finishes this season, a tie for fifth at the Valero Texas Open in April and a tie for seventh at Myrtle Beach in May.<\/p>\n
He has started 16 PGA Tour events, missed six of 16 cuts, has those two top 10s and has earned $761,717.<\/p>\n
At stake are a trophy, exemptions and more FedExCup points to collect.<\/p>\n
\u201cI take every week as it comes,\u201d Olesen said. \u201cEvery week is an opportunity to try and bounce back and do something special. You know, I put myself in a bit of a tough position, but there\u2019s still quite a lot of events left.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He attributes it to the country\u2019s people. \u201cThe Danes in general have a very good mentality, a strong…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":94160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-94159","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114919731708832522","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
