Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024 Round 2 Friday tee times and groupings
Day 2 gives the players a chance to jockey for position ahead of the weekend at the Detroit Golf Club in the latest PGA Tour event.
After Day 1 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club, Akshay Bhatia topped the leaderboard with an impressive 8-under-par 64. The 22-year-old, who is aiming for his third PGA Tour victory in less than a year, had a flawless round and finished strongly as he birdied the 16th, chipped in for an eagle on the 17th, and capped it with a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th. That gave him a one-stroke lead over Taylor Montgomery and Michael Kim, who each shot 65.
Defending champion Rickie Fowler, along with Will Zalatoris, Eric Cole, Matti Schmid, and Aaron Rai, posted 6-under 66s, tied for fourth. Fowler’s round was also bogey-free and featured birdies on four of his last five holes, continuing his momentum from last week’s solid performance.
Notably, Cameron Young, who recently carded a 59 at the Travelers Championship, was among those who finished at 5-under 67. Meanwhile, 15-year-old amateur Miles Russell, the world’s top-ranked junior, shot a 2-over 74 in his PGA Tour debut.
