US EditionNoren Was Out of Golf for 7 Months and Now in the Final Group at a Major
- Alex Noren, a 42-year-old Swedish golfer, returned to play after a 31-week break and stands in the final group at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
- Noren missed the season since October due to a 90% tear in his hamstring tendon attached to his sit bone, requiring a long recovery without surgery.
- He spent three months in the offseason and four months fighting back, expressing that time off gave good perspective though he wished he played more golf beforehand.
- Noren shot a five-under 66 on Saturday, birdied his last two holes, and stood three strokes behind leader Scottie Scheffler, who is also his playing partner Sunday.
- His successful return suggests mental benefits from the break may prolong his career, and he is fortunate to compete this early after a severe injury.
