Hovland ended the Pacific Palisades PGA with a 69, recording 70 strokes on Saturday and 69 on Sunday, including four birdies and two bogeys, but he fell short of the cut line. He finished with a birdie on the final hole, securing a respectable placement despite a weak second‑round finish.
Meanwhile, American Jacob Bridgeman entered the final round with a clear lead after two consecutive 64s, and many players were just starting their last round when Hovland completed his play.
