**U.S. Open Contender Overcame Homelessness**
Michael Thorbjornsen will make his U.S. Open debut on Thursday, but his journey to the championship has been far from ordinary.
Just four years ago, Thorbjornsen was living in his Ford Explorer, struggling to make ends meet. His mother was unaware of his situation.
Despite the adversity, Thorbjornsen’s passion for golf never wavered. He practiced on makeshift greens and honed his skills on public courses.
Hard work and perseverance have paid off for the 25-year-old. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2022 and has since recorded two top-10 finishes.
Thorbjornsen’s story is an inspiration to all who face challenges in life. His resilience and determination are a testament to the power of the human spirit.
