Thorbjornsen Claims First PGA Tour Win | Detroit News

Michael Thorbjornsen just pulled off his first PGA Tour win at the Rocket Classic, firing a blistering 7-under 63 on Sunday to finish at 18 under—two shots ahead of the field. Starting three back, he seized the moment when leader Davis Riley stumbled early, then surged with four birdies in six holes and sealed it with a clutch final putt. The victory not only locks him into the FedEx Cup playoffs but also marks the eighth first-time winner this season—and the second straight week. Hailing from Massachusetts and a Stanford alum, Thorbjornsen’s breakthrough comes as the tournament wraps up in Detroit, where sponsor Rocket Mortgage is exiting amid shifting PGA Tour structures and budget concerns.
