The PGA TOUR heads to Detroit this week for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. Rickie Fowler returns to defend his title after breaking his four-year win drought last year. The victory is his most recent top-15 finish anywhere, but he placed T12 here in 2020 and is also fresh off a T20 at the 2024 Travelers Championship last week at TPC Highlands. Fowler would be the first back-to-back winner in Rocket Mortgage’s history. Tom Kim will tee it up in Detroit after falling to Scottie Scheffler in a playoff at the Travelers Championship last week. The World No. 16 has claimed two top-five finishes in his last four events and finished T7 here two years ago. Cameron Young, who finished runner-up here in 2022, will also be in the field this week. He became the 12th player on the PGA TOUR to post a sub-60 score with 59 in Round 3 of the Travelers last week. A T9 finish on Sunday of Travelers was his sixth top-10 worldwide this year. Others to look for include Akshay Bhatia, Will Zalatoris, Min Woo Lee and Robert MacIntyre.

three pass champions in the event the guy won the inaugural Edition back in 2019 Nate Lashley third group out his second hole what a ground draw I knew you had to do that on the PO threes afterwards right Rico Hoy just a lob Legend played as college golf of USC was a stand out there oh what hoping Hoops it it’s the Canadian Roger Sloan with his third shot to the par five 14th made it back a long way but you can see by doing that can spin [Applause] it the Big Bird P out for Eagle he’s three under some of the other names on that first page of the leaderboard how about Cameron young L that move trying to get home at two to 14 on Hall with a big L in front of it oh he’s more than dry though what L that was special that’s a Canadian speaking for you yeah light North Wind 62 63° absolutely epic out there oh look at this start we saw him save his par at the 11th this now for Birdie on a good line sure is wow backto back long putts made by Davis Riley taking this around the tree yeah he’s just H this kind of just a high soft draw goes middle trajectory draw but we know he can sling it watch his turn on the ground oh my gosh how good is that yeah this also flighted down and much more aggressive this is pin high if it stays I can guarantee that was a 56 or his his middle wedge gets that right elbow folding quicker in the back swing this looks to be aggressive sure does looks good beautiful shot nearly had that hole in [Applause] one this one doesn’t do a whole lot in the middle might lose and go right at the end and it oh no it stayed straight right in the center how about that one for lonto 37 ft for birdie going to a of course as Taylor Moore out of the bunker look at this one Dro Taylor Moore now a four under should be a just a really comfortable nineiron maybe uh maybe wedge monina using the putter from off the green at the third man D it beautifully oh look look at Mady gets to two under look at the fifth great little hole 175 yards oh my goodness nearly our second ACE also with 99 yards this coming in much lower than Robert mck tires yeah like Graham said if you sit there and watch Tom Kim and of course the leader Aaron Ry part three he’s posing for a reason just hold that finish what a great shot see how Bobby Mack does here plenty of speed there you go he’s like really that’s how it’s going to end this you got to be kidding me I expect this one as well he’s playing to be pretty close that was a mighty thump that was solid look at this right behind the hole controls a spin up underneath the hole love to clean up and finish with the birdie here and get it to 70 he’s got a chance M hit it off the T got away with it and capitalizes with the birdie to shoot a first round 70 at two under par he signs a gazillion autographs even when he’s playing portly he’s won the PLAYERS Championship the Crown Jewel he’s been on a zillion Ridder Cup teams because he’s that good but I’ve always been fascinated like why did Americana pick him but I would have loved two weeks ago at pinus give me all those options because I love them all where guys I actually think and I’d love to get your opinion beautiful birdie there from menw guys don’t like chipping from Short Grass anymore as well out tus from the Fairway at the second good solid strike there staring at it as he should come back a little bit beautiful shot it’s right in between a little Edge there just that soft little curve in there it’s a cool little hole cuz it these guys want to hit driver and then they have this kind of awkward little shot especially if they get too far like cooch did oh what a shot right there by Nico etaria that’s a tap in for birdie Keith Mitchell cashmir Keith come on cashmere oh gets that friendly forward kick you see how it land it lands firm right there it’s a little down slope coming off that front bunker next thing you know you just you get so caught up in the golf Ricky Fowler again pouring one in so if if Ricky is not going to make Ricky Romano carry that big heavy jug he has he carries it in his own hand salur saw the birdie attempt by Fowler come up well short got a good read and took advantage oh [Applause] yes at 15 he likes it with a club twirl oh this could go that could have been 10,000 the non-traditional route is he’s playing his third shot his front right hole location I don’t know how he got over there but and I don’t even know how he makes three some Mysteries are better left to UNS solve cooch will take the circle on the card makes the turn and over 37 Michael Thor bson recent recipient of the PGA Tour U automatic spot to the PGA Tour there we go I thought it was a tough read from over there but Michael had no problem three 217 Ys Chris gup R hole location setting up for a big fade he’s got some P Johnson strong strong play and bringing it down softly like that too Frank it’s actually incredible how well he’s striking it not being able to move this looks really good dude he’s in fuo right now three in a row baby tell you he’s got the Feeling think Gotti decided to stay as the precursor to the rocket mortgage classic birdie putt on the front of the 10th Jam putting up the hill yeah poor wedge to this position why not [Applause] wow to 17 on the te at 15 is Dylan woo yeah these guys I believe yeah they yeah they started on the first a wonderful shot there and got a chance for three straight Ries the rookie out of Stanford [Applause] yeah 217 yards and that hole tucked on that right hand side yeah this ball coming in very high good line here Johnson I’m not sure it’s enough though oh wow that came down like a butterfly with sore feet very similar to the G up shot we saw in groups back here’s Neil Shipley couple over second shot to the 18th played last week on the Americas tour in a top 10 what a wonderful shot at 18 now second Matty Schmid from way right off the te golf course there’s a lot of trees but gives you options to get creative like that like that landay is short bouncing it up on the correct level great shot this group is on fire out there perfect position in the middle of the Fairway four underpar six underpar Matty Schmidt and two underpar oh Wesley Bryan looking to make it back to back making the turn probably going to try to drive this in low and skip it that’s exactly what he’s done oh wow willot Torus I like that guys that was so beautiful I just watching his mannerism we had a long look at him Anders Albertson here on the 17th playing his third shot product of Georgia Tech playing on a medical extension this year get in there that’s how it’s done right there Anders real crowd pleaser [Applause] is that aggressive enough for you wow you said 10t he hit about 4 feet short of the hole that was really solidly struck just trying to figure out if he can fly it up on top of this slope or not follow three yards closer than Sloan that from 76 coming in really low oh put a little Sizzle on it rick not very happy with that pitch shot walking up to the green it perfectly and zator to three on look like a four theway from one Lefty to another AA batia at the 16th going once again with the three4 shot FL it down a little trying and force it back to that flag tremendous I guess they were taking it out of C look at this Wills aloris for three straight right there miles Russell just 110 yards a second shot to the third can he pepper one of these pins trying and get it all the way back oh this time he does so he might just make his first birdie now a now on 17 playing his third really creative around the greens yes o sh baa with an eagle at 177 that’s going to climb him up to the top of the lead board seven under par what a back nine Andie Schmid second at seven just an iron in oh flies it on to the front and we go back on the T at 15 Ben Griffin who’s three Unown his round today [Applause] with a great opportunity to get to four a very similar line here for will zor just gets it going it’s going good zat Tores buries it round to 66 boing at the opening Hall the leaderboard as stands OE Batio with that 8 under 64 Michael Kim on the course speaking of the John de classic his loan win on the PGA tour 1
