Rocket Mortgage Classic Thursday tee times..https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/rocket-mortgage-classic/tee-times.html
The travelling troop of the PGA Tour have moved into their COVID bubble in Detroit this July 4th weekend, as the pandemic spikes dangerously in a country that has 50 different states with 50 different attitudes regarding containment. Dr Anthony Fauci, their head of infectious diseases warns their could be 100,000 new cases per day if Americans don't take the re-surgence of the virus seriously.
There are 4 Canadians in the field, Mac Hughes will not play this week. Michael Gligic, Roger Sloan, Adam Hadwin and David Hearn who is in the first group at 6.45am will take on the par 72 Donald Ross designed Detroit Golf Club.
Webb Simpson the highest ranked player at #6, Rickie Fowler and Nate Lashley are the early waves feature pairing at 7.45. Patrick Reed, Bryson DeChambeau and Hideki Matsuyama are off at 1pm
Only 3 of the world's top 10 are playing as many of the top pros have gone home.,Guys like Rory, Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka are all off for the long weekend, so this is the weakest field of the last 3.
Nate Lashley who was a Wednesday alternative last year, is the defending champion. He won the inaugural event last year by 6 shots at 263 over Doc Redman.
With a T5 here last year and 6 top 10's since February Bryson DeChambeauis the favourite to win this week.
