Nicolai Hojgaard Poised For Strong Performance At Mexican Open
1 day agoNicolai Hojgaard has played in just one PGA Tour event this year, finishing T36 at the WM Phoenix Open. He now looks ahead to the Mexican Open, an event he has competed in twice, with results of T52 in 2024 and T33 in 2023. At 7,456 yards, Vidanta Vallarta is a course that requires length off the tee and strong long-iron play. Hojgaard fits the bill, as he ranked 25th in driving distance last year (309.1-yard average) and 30th in strokes gained on approach. This includes ranking first on tour in proximity from 175-200 yards and being in the 99th percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards. These distances accounted for 63.5% of all approach shots at this event last year. This course suits Hojgaard perfectly, and with a weaker field, he can be played with confidence by fantasy managers at his $10,100 price tag on DraftKings.
