Hojgaard shot a three-under 68 in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open to finish in a share of third place.
ANALYSISIt was certainly not the start you hope for coming into Sunday in the final group as Hojgaard made a triple-bogey on the par-4 2nd hole. To his credit he got right back to even-par for the round with birdies on three of the next four holes. Hojgaard then clawed even further forward with an eagle at the par-5 13th and a birdie at the par-4 17th. He ultimately would come up just one shot shy of joining a playoff between
Chris Gotterup and
Hideki Matsuyama. Hojgaard showed a lot of game this week ranking third in SG: Off-the-Tee and first in scrambling. The Dane is a three-time winner on the DP World Tour and it wouldn't surprise anyone if he picked up his first PGA Tour win in the near future.
