On Thursday, the Rocket Classic commenced for it seventh edition at the Detroit Golf Club, bringing the PGA Tour back to Detroit. A late addition to the field, former Spartan and United States Amateur champion James Piot was added thanks to a sponsors exemption. He took advantage of his opportunity.
After a two-under day on Thursday, the former Spartan rifled a four-under round on Friday, setting himself up at six-under. That number was good enough to make the cut and the weekend at the Rocket Classic.
The made cut for Piot is his first career made cut on the PGA Tour. A former LIV golfer, he made history by playing on the PGA Tour after playing for LIV, but now, he makes personal history for himself.
Piot will look to make another move up the leaderboard on moving day on Saturday when he tees off at 7:55 a.m., playing in a group alongside Paul Peterson.
