IRELAND’S SÉAMUS POWER is just three shots off the lead after an impressive bogey-free first round at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
Six birdies helped the Waterford man to a six-under 66 after starting on the 10th hole to keep him in touch with current leader Davis Thompson, who is on nine-under for the tournament after 17 holes.

Coup d oeil sur cet article
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.
