Final Rocket Classic Set for Detroit Golf Club
The Rocket Classic’s last edition will conclude on Sunday at Detroit Golf Club in the Motor City. Entering the final round, Davis Riley holds a one-shot advantage over Michael Brennan and a three-shot cushion ahead of a leading pack that includes Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young.
