CaddyBytes ⛳ 2026 Rocket Classic Final Round Highlights: Michael Thorbjornsen charged from four shots behind with a bogey-free, career-low-tying 7-under 63 Sunday at Detroit Golf Club, finishing at 18-under 262 to capture his first PGA TOUR victory. Thorbjornsen stayed aggressive down the stretch, controlled his approach shots under final-round pressure, and capped the week with a confident birdie putt at the 18th to win the Rocket Classic by two strokes.
Xander Schauffele made the strongest run among the other contenders, closing with a 5-under 65 to finish alone in second at 16-under 264. Third-round leader Davis Riley battled through a difficult opening stretch before recovering with several birdies, but a final-round 70 left him third at 15-under 265. Rasmus Hojgaard followed Saturday’s spectacular 61 with a steady 68 to take fourth at 14-under 266.
Hideki Matsuyama fired a closing 64 to join Kristoffer Ventura and Matt Wallace in a tie for fifth at 13-under 267. Rickie Fowler received another huge ovation from the Detroit galleries after competing in every edition of the event, while Thorbjornsen’s breakthrough victory brought the eighth and final Rocket Classic to a memorable close.
