After the third round, the 25-year-old golfer was asked what it would mean to him if he won the 2023 FedEx Cup. 

The Norwegian star had a pretty honest answer. Of course, it would mean a lot to him and it would be extremely special. He said that the names on the FedEx Cup trophy are very “special”. Being into the winning mix feels like a “sprint” to him, but making his way to the week was definitely not less than a “marathon.” 

The golfer said that it is hard to win the FedEx Cup if the golfer’s game hasn’t been well in the past few weeks. Sharing about the importance of winning the Cup, he said, “It’s just a great list of names that’s won the tournament, and it would be awesome to have my name on there.”
