Vincent Norman vs Andrew Putnam Prediction: A closely contest matchup ahead

The Sentry Tournament of Champions 2024 is scheduled to take place from January 3–7, 2024, at the Kapalua Resort (The Plantation Course) in Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii, featuring a prize purse of $15,000,000. In the 3rd Round 2 Balls matchup today, Vincent Norman will compete against Andrew Putnam. Who will emerge victorious in this match?

Vincent Oliver Norrman, a Swedish professional golfer, is a prominent figure on the PGA Tour. During his amateur career, he contributed to the success of the Swedish team in winning the 2019 European Amateur Team Championship. Vincent Norrman transitioned to the professional ranks in June 2021, becoming an affiliate member of the European Tour. His debut as a professional took place at the BMW International Open at Golf Club München Eichenried in Munich, Germany, from June 24 to 27, where he impressively secured a tied fifth position, earning €38,122.

In July 2023, Vincent Norrman achieved his inaugural professional victory by triumphing in the Barbasol Championship, a tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the European Tour. He emerged victorious in a playoff against Nathan Kimsey. Adding to his success, in September of the same year, Vincent Norrman claimed his second European Tour victory at the Horizon Irish Open. A final-round 65 allowed him to secure a one-shot victory over Hurly Long, showcasing his prowess on the golf course.

Andrew David Putnam, an American professional golfer, competes on the PGA Tour. During his amateur years, Putnam played college golf at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, from 2007 to 2011. Throughout this period, he achieved notable success by winning two tournaments and earning the title of a three-time All-American.

In 2011, Andrew Putnam transitioned to professional golf, initially participating in the eGolf Professional Tour in 2012. He made his debut on the Web.com Tour in 2013, securing the 49th spot on the money list, which fell short of earning him a PGA Tour card. However, his breakthrough as a professional came in April 2014 when he clinched his first victory at the WNB Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour.

Notably, Andrew Putnam achieved his maiden PGA Tour win in August 2018 at the Barracuda Championship, an alternate event held near Reno, Nevada. His successful 2017-18 PGA Tour Season included five Top 10 finishes, contributing to his impressive earnings of $2,387,382.

These two exceptional golfers have a strong track record and find themselves in favorable positions for victory. Although I am inclined to support Vincent Norman, Andrew Putnam has consistently performed exceptionally well throughout this tournament, making it challenging to predict a clear winner. Consequently, after careful consideration, a draw appears to be the most plausible outcome in this situation.
