SEO is puzzling!!!
This SEO thing is really puzzling, i am trying to rank for a medium competition keyword, i am seeing a new website rank number 1 with zero backlinks and the DA and PR is very poor. The other websites in the top 5 have very strong metrics, how could this happen? How could they use a new website with little metrics to rank number 1 ahead of these other established websites? I am puzzled!!!

Probably a hidden pbn or a 301 redirect from a strong expired domain
new website rank number 1 with zero backlinks and the DA and PR is very poor
1) Behind this site could be solid PBN's or redirect.
2) DA don't have any influence on Google ranking.
3) PR you don't know, except old one which is useless.

Because they care about metrics, not ranking.

Which tool can i use to discover this redirects or hidden PBN's? Ahrefs, Moz, Semrush are showing zero backlinks.
What does their content look like?

I have come across this a few times now and the site had really good content. These sites had a few backlinks but nothing that would even move the needle. They had a few web 2.0's, comment and forum backlinks, less than 10 in total.

It was for a low completion niche and I wouldn't expect to see someone using a hidden PBN but I guess anything is possible.

It mean that behind this site is enough bright person.
And you have no chance to find linking pages using popular BL tools.
Plot twist: no PBN was used. The algorithm uses different metrics to establish the #1 authority for a keyword. Two of the known ones are authorship and visitors time spent on the site.

Maybe the other top websites aren't targetting that specific keyword. Maybe they have a powerful pbn behind them. Maybe their on page is on point. Just lots of maybees

But you don't know if PBNs were used or not. I would assume hidden PBN. If it is a new site, I strongly doubt that anything else than links would help ...

But then again, we don't know the niche, website, keyword(s) targeted so all our assumptions are just that.

The guy who owns the site is a SEO guy for real, i wonder if he is using Google Properties like Docs, Spreadsheets etc? These backlinks do not usually show up on backlink checkers.

The other websites are targeting this keyword and they have very high metrics and they have quality articles too.
