Impact Hojgaard barely made the three-under cut line after opening rounds of 69-68, but he surged up the leaderboard Saturday with a bogey-free, nine-under 61 score. He found himself at the top of the leaderboard Sunday after going four-under through his first 10 holes, but he ended up losing two strokes over the last eight, including a bogey on the par-4 18th. Still, Hojgaard came away with his first top-5 of the season and his best finish since his T3 at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship in October. He led the field at Detroit Golf Club in driving distance while ranking fourth in SG: Putting, eighth in scrambling, T10 in birdies and 17th in SG: Off-the-Tee, though he also ranked 59th in SG: Approach and 65th in driving accuracy. Hojgaard jumped 22 spots up to 103rd in the FedExCup Standings, but he'll need another big performance next week at the Wyndham Championship to move into the top-70 for a spot in the playoffs. He finished T34 in his debut at the Wyndham last year.
