Le golfeur américain Davis Thompson a égalé le record du Detroit Golf Club à la Classique Rocket Mortgage en remettant une carte de 63 coups (-9), jeudi, au Michigan.
La première ronde a dû être arrêtée en raison de la noirceur, mais le meneur était déjà presque assuré de terminer au sommet. Thompson s’est offert un parcours parfait en calant neuf oiselets tout en évitant les bogueys.
En 2019, Nate Lashley avait remis deux cartes de 63 pour finalement remporter le tournoi présenté à Detroit. Lors de la même édition, J.T. Poston avait égalé cette marque en deuxième ronde.
He’s not excited about that fact. Yet.
âSounds good on Sunday,” Thompson said after matching a Detroit Golf Club record with a 9-under 63 to take the early first-round lead. âItâs only Thursday. I know Iâve got a long way to go.”
Brandon Hagy, Tom Lewis and Joaquin Niemann were two shots back. Seamus Power and J.J. Spaun shot 66, putting them another stroke behind the surprising leader.
Thompson is in the field as a sponsor exemption after sending an email to tournament officials, asking for a spot. The 22-year-old former University of Georgia star missed the cut last week at the Travelers Championship after tying for 35th in his pro debut at the Palmetto Championship earlier in June.
We are going back to the well with selecting the best player on Thursday to win for us on Friday. This strategy has worked for us at a decent clip this season and I expect that to continue in the second round. Tomorrow, our selection lies with the big Swede, Norlander, who has been striking the ball beautifully over the last couple of weeks.
He finished inside the top-25 at the Palmetto Championship and made the cut last week at the Travelers Championship. Clearly trending in a nice direction, I expect Norlander to make his way into the weekend in Detroit. First, he’ll need another solid round, after posting 4-under in the first-round. Norlander gained strokes in all four major statistical categories on Thursday and should do something similar on Friday.
