PGA Tour : Rocket Mortgage Classic: Leaderboard
It is stinking hot and humid in Detroit, the same weather system that soaked us to the skin at work here in Toronto by 9am yesterday, 30*c..
Adam Hadwin tied the course record -9 63 after opening 66 68 -19, Taylor Pendrith was nearly as good until he made bogey on two of his last 2 holes, for 67 after earlier 67 64 -18
Rickie Fowler has been in the lead until Sunday at the US Open and LA Open's since Butch Harmon took over his coaching ..and after a Saturday 64 when he birdied 6 of his last 8 holes, he is again, 67 65 64 -20
Adam Svensson 71 67 71 -7 is near the bottom T61.
With much needed rain, thunder and lightning in the forecast the field will be split in half off the 1st and 10th tees, with the leaders out at 9am, five hours earlier than usual to try and get the 72 holes in for TV.
Poker faced Fowler hasn't won since he got married 4 years ago, has led after 54 holes 10 times in his career, winning just twice.
His last win was in 2019 in Phoenix.
For Canada, to have 2 players in the top 3 heading into Sunday is the big story north of the border, with all due respect to the little Texan.
Both are hoping to be the 5th Canadian to win on the PGA Tour this year,
"One of the hardest things in golf is to get out of your own way when things are going well, I've been a victim of that myself. It's a fun leaderboard with Taylor and I being in the lead on Canada Day said Hadwin
Play was suspended for 90 minutes due to lightning, like will be again today with 9 players within 4 shots of the lead.
