Nicolai Hojgaard Looking To Keep Momentum Going At Cognizant Classic
6 mins agoNicolai Hojgaard had an impressive week at the Mexico Open, finishing eighth while gaining 4.571 strokes on approach and a career-best 10.463 strokes from tee to green. He now turns his attention to the Cognizant Classic, a tournament he has played in only once, missing the cut in 2022. PGA National is an unforgiving course that demands precision on approach, an area where Hojgaard excels, ranking third on tour with an average of 1.184 strokes gained approach per round. He also ranks in the 91st percentile for proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 48.1% of approach shots at this course. In addition to his strong approach play, avoiding around-the-green work will be key to success, and Hojgaard leads the tour in greens in regulation at 77.08%. Given his elite play early in the season, fantasy managers can confidently insert Hojgaard into their lineups at his price tag of $7,400 on DraftKings.
