With the PGA Tour returning to Detroit for the Rocket Classic, and the headlining sponsor being Rocket Mortgage, a major partner with MSU, recent MSU senior Ashton McCulloch was given a sponsors exemption into the field for the 2025 event.
The event, taking place at Detroit Golf Club, was McCulloch’s fourth event on the PGA Tour, while still competing as an amateur. The Spartan was looking to make his first cut on the tour, narrowly missing the cut by one stroke earlier this year at the RBC Canadian Open.
Unfortunately for McCulloch, it was not his day on the course. An eight bogey, two birdie day left him at a final score of 78 (+6) on the day.
While making the cut is highly improbable, McCulloch will still play his second round on Friday with an 8:57 a.m. tee time on the first tee.
