On a day of incredibly low scoring in Detroit, Kevin Roy and Aldrich Potgieter both tied the course record with 10-under 62s to co-lead the Rocket Mortgage Classic after round one.


ROCKET MORTGAGE CLASSIC: DETROIT SHOOTOUT
  • Soft conditions led to a birdie barrage, where the course record of 62 was tied twice by co-leaders Kevin Roy and Aldrich Potgieter, who found redemption at the site of his pro debut.
  • Supporting stat or quote: Roy felt his 62 was more impressive than a previous one, calling Detroit a "much harder golf course," while Potgieter admitted he played with a "chip on his shoulder."
  • Human angle or fun fact: Potgieter shot his 62 using new irons, nearly making it a 61 with a birdie putt that lipped out on the 18th green.


MIN WOO'S SISTER ACT
  • Min Woo Lee fired a career-best 63 after an inspiring pre-round phone call with his major-winning sister, Minjee Lee, who he says has her "swagger" back and that he tries to "learn off her."
  • Supporting stat or quote: "I try to learn off her... she's a great role model," Min Woo said, after admitting his own recent form has been "honestly very bad."
  • Human angle or fun fact: The sibling pep talk propelled Min Woo to just one shot off the lead, showcasing one of golf's most talented families.


WYNDHAM'S PUTTER SWAP
  • After struggling on the greens, Wyndham Clark made a significant equipment change, shelving his famous "Jailbird" putter for a LAB model and immediately shooting a bogey-free 66.
  • Supporting stat or quote: The switch was a direct response to poor putting stats, a calculated risk for the major champion to find his form.
  • Human angle or fun fact: Clark's bold move paid off in round one, proving that even major champions aren't afraid to make a big change when something isn't working.
