The TOUR returns to the Rocket Classic in Detroit, Michigan, where there are plenty of big-name stars teeing it up alongside some of the game’s best up-and-comers. Travelers Championship winner and 2025 United States Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley is among the field heading to the Motor City, looking to drive home another win this week. Alongside Bradley, and topping the field is the world No. 5 Collin Morikawa, who lost here in a playoff in 2023 and will be looking for a different fortune this time round. Joining these two are players such as Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and Min Woo Lee. Detroit Golf Club will once again play host, and at the conclusion of this year’s event, it’s set to undergo a $16-million renovation – including all new greens.

oh that’s a good shot couldn’t draw it up any better great opening shot thought Gator yeah that wasn’t clipped properly frank but still he’s a good putter potter for birdie
oh right in the heart doesn’t get better than that
let’s watch this golf swing from Pod Gita yeah this one’s blocked out right towards the fence that hit looked like up either up on that fence or on the top of that tree so we’ll see yeah so that big wooden stake post is part of that fence that’s the big key there isn’t it Mark
so it appears right now that he’s going to be taking an unplayable and that would be his uh one stroke penalty associated with that I think he hit his line and now it’s just a matter of whether it’s going to run to the right spot that’s pretty good out right there Frank [Music] that’s pretty clutch right there Tommy yeah that should secure the five with the members driving range down the right side of the second the players are not using that practice area themselves this week has drawn a pretty decent lie the shot is a high cut over the left half of the tree closest to him
that would put it in the center of the green instead he comes up to the left and appears to be in the bunker
ups slope decent lie too hey not bad got a great break there with the ball
be a little early but I’m feeling like this is a must knocks it in now with good speed too oh going with the long iron not confident today as he was yesterday doy with the driver
not playing to what is his traditional strength agreed i don’t know if I like that
i’m with you Trev because the whole location is cut so tight to that ridge that you’d rather be up near the green
standing on a bit of a pitcher mound that sand wedge from 109 trying to skip it back there oh good job
that’s really well done yeah quite ginger out for his birdie wonderful shot in here
and very little movement in this putt that’s more like it [Applause] way to go kid
there’s a scoreboard he would have had to walk right by it to get to his birdie putt cked a huge T-OT here yesterday that one’s not bad either doy not think it’s full speed
aiming right at it as good as it
likes it that’s two great shots and massive bounces and a little work left coming back for Pocket to 12 pier for par drops it in
oh that’s nice it’s nice for the confidence has not had a three putt all week
mind you this man here has already made a hole in one on a par four did that trying to qualify for the John Deere a few years ago oh that is excellent absolutely excellent now green light for Potita 35 yds to the front hit a chaser needs to stick yeah that’s great boy that was pretty there no issues the 20-year-old now ties the 40-year-old at the top reachable par five just avoid that bunker down the right i think I felt that go by me Ian
196 the ball speed there that’s pretty crazy
i mean he cruises around 9293 but that’s uh that is elite elite
nine
nine
this is it make it count right here
1949 knock that in close make a three
certainly started on a lovely line [Applause] come on now a good amount of time making sure that line on the ball is exactly where he wants it to be even on these short ones and it’s a birdie he takes the lead outright four holes to go for the young South African
well that walkway is a nice line it’s skyrocketing that way oh
it’s way back there in fact too much for Paker [Music] chunked in wow hit right underneath it caught it so high on the face
looking right to start he’s got it set up pretty far out there [Music] [Applause] so Pater drops one at the par three
and now a threeway tie at the top at 21 under par ah that’s a nice bright shade of green doy right down the middle went very quickly to the tea as he should
oh and he got some good roll too that’ll be way out there just like the 14th nine iron that for eagle or pita is one back with two to go here [Applause] once again just an ounce more speed if you hit it you got it so he needs to birdie the last
ball is going to be held against that wind coming in from the right at 3:00 one 45 is the total
sit asking for it to get down it’s going to catch that ridge and go back doesn’t get it there pocket knocks it in does not have a three putt all week and that stat continues as he joins Kirk needs
to take a little off of it on an off the good line to start is it going to stay no just did the same thing he did in the final round
my goodness no grab at all on the second bounce oh yeah oh yeah couldn’t do much better that’s outstanding no
no pretty wicked bounce just kicked straight right on him that’s clutch right there for Puck Eater yeah that really is beautiful putt [Music] green on that one too
yeah big time do way up there one more club than in regulation eight ah this one’s good too for Puck Eater two Eagle putts coming on the fourth playoff hole for the win baby gee did that look good but it now means as he knocks this in for the birdie that that three-footer for Max just gets that little bit longer just to the right of it all right he didn’t go long [Applause] took enough off of it this time really was such an easy swing [Applause] pop Gator pours it in and he’s got his first PGA Tour victory [Applause] razorman three times a runner up a year ago but today belongs to Pot Keeper
yeah in his 20th start on the PGA Tour the 20-year-old gets it done when I met him for the first time in 2022 he told me “My dream is to win on the PGA Tour.” Young man your dreams just came true another sensational South African aldrich Pocket wins the Rocket Classic doesn’t turn 21 until midepptember for his dad hine going nuts after the fifth playoff hole finally puts this one to bed a tough one for Graser pot ger the champion for Trevor Imlman and the entire CBS Golf team this is Andrew Catalan saying so long from Detroit and thanks for watching the Rocket Classic [Music] thanks for watching the PJ Tour on YouTube for more videos click here
