Players went low at Detroit Golf Club in the first two rounds of the 2025 Rocket Classic, and it stands to reason that it won’t be any different over the weekend.
Min Woo Lee broke the course record with a 63 Thursday, which lasted a few hours before Aldrich Potgeiter and Kevin Roy shot 62 later in the afternoon, and then that didn’t even last 24 hours until Jake Knapp shot 61 Friday morning.
The birdies and eagles are out there, so get ready for some fireworks this weekend. Three players share the lead at 14 under entering Saturday: Andrew Putnam, Philip Knowles, and Chris Kirk.
