It took until the penultimate event of the regular season for Rasmus Hojgaard to finish inside the top 5 this season, but never late than never. His week in Detroit felt mundane for the first couple of days before the 25-year-old went crazy in round three, shooting a -9 under, 61. It was the third consecutive day that score had been posted by someone, but he was the only one who nearly won the tournament because of it. His length off the tee was a great advantage to have, but it was the nearly seven and a half strokes he gained on the greens that were the difference. He'll hope to continue that this week at Sedgefield CC, but the accuracy woes that plague him are more concerning here. The Dane is hitting less than 50% of fairways this season and ranks 102nd in strokes gained on approach (-0.046). That alone makes him a scary option, even with his bright week up north.

After a T9 finish last week in Detroit, Ryan Gerard has now posted back to back top 10 performances, the fourth in his last seven starts. Mostly all of this recent success comes from a putter that can make putts in bunches, while not really doing anything to separate himself from tee to green. Even with how well he scored last week, he still ranked outside the top 40 in both strokes gained ball striking metrics. The good news is that he's one of the more accurate players from tee to green, which Sedgefield demands. The bad news is he's missed the cut here in two career appearances. Expect him to play all four days this time around, but he'll need to have better production with the iron play to be a real DFS asset.

Last week in Detroit was better than the end result for Michael Brennan, who began Sunday one shot back of the lead and birdied two of his first three holes of the day to take it early. However, he would go on to shoot three over for the day after two doubles and a bogey on the card to finish T15. The iron play was fantastic for the 24-year-old, averaging 1.21 strokes gained on approach over the four rounds. He also ranked third in the field in strokes gained putting for the week (1.87). He's in the field this week at the Wyndham Championship, his first appearance in this event. After what he showed at a similar looking Detroit Golf Club, he should again be a decent DFS option. Even though his incredible length off the tee won't help him much around Sedgefield CC.

Ben Griffin is normally solid off the driver's tee. The American golfer could not get out of his own way in Detroit. missing tee shots left and right. Griffin lost 1.27 shots and then missed the cut in Detroit as a result. Griffin showed he can drive well enough and make putts at the Travelers Championship and John Deere Classic. The problem is that -17% driver accuracy. Griffin has done that twice before in 2026 and that was only a couple months ago. Sticking approaches greater than 200 yards has been a sore spot (ranked 156th) but worse may be that 3.72 birdie average which is only 102nd. The key for Griffin will be keeping the ball in the fairway to set up easier putts.
