The Minneapolis–St. Paul Golfweek Amateur Tour's second major championship of the season delivered everything a major should. Players faced a grueling 36-hole challenge in a single day, beginning on the Highlands Course before finishing on the Lowlands Course at Mississippi National Golf Links. With double points, double payouts, and major championship prestige on the line, competitors battled through a long day of golf where every shot mattered.

Haskins separated himself during the second round, firing a spectacular even-par 72 that included five birdies, the best round of the division. His two-round total of 148 earned him the 2026 Mississippi Major Championship title, 900 points, and the winner's payout.
Matthew Foehse stayed in contention throughout the day and finished runner-up after posting a 75 in the final round. Foehse recorded one of the highlights of the tournament with an eagle and a birdie during his closing round.
Dom Rosati completed the all-Minnesota podium with a steady 76 in round two, highlighted by three birdies, to finish third.
A Flight
A Flight belonged to Felix Scott, who put together two strong rounds to capture the major championship.
