DFS Dish: Ironmen Akshay Bhatia, Tom Kim can rock on in Detroit
There’s only one way to rock at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan.
For the second week in a row, par will have the weekend off, and low scores will populate the leaderboards scattered around the grounds of the Detroit Golf Club.
Hosting for the sixth consecutive season, the 1916 Donald Ross composite course (17 holes from the North Course, and one hole from the South) has produced a champion reaching 18-under or better in five previous editions, with four winners breeching 20-under, including 24-under last season and 26-under in 2022.
The par 72 layout is 7,370 yards and ranked as one of the easiest tracks on TOUR last season to hit fairways and greens in regulation (GIR). With four gettable par 5s and the top 30 required to post double digits under par, it’s time to score and score again.
Winning in a playoff last year, Rickie Fowler broke a four-year-plus drought and returned to the winner’s circle.
