The first round of the penultimate event on the PGA Tour schedule is in the books.

This week’s stop is in Detroit, Michigan, for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. The course is a par-72 layout measuring 7,370 yards.

After winning the 3M Open just four days ago, Tony Finau picked up right where he left off and fired an 8-under 64 on Thursday. For the first time in his career, Finau hit all 18 greens in regulation. Webb Simpson, like Finau, played in the morning wave and took advantage of easier conditions. He’s 6 under after day one.

Photos: 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club

Some of the best shots from the week in Detroit.

We are two weeks away from the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs and this week is one of the last opportunities for players on the bubble to earn their way into the postseason.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit is being played at the Detroit Golf Club, a track designed by Donald Ross.

Big names in the field include last week’s winner, Tony Finau, as well as Will Zalatoris, Webb Simpson, Cameron Young, Jason Day and Rickie Fowler.

The defending champion is Cam Davis, who is coming off a top-20 performance at the 3M Open (T-16).

Check out some of the best photos from the week in Detroit:

2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic: Tony Finau still feeling it after 3M Open win, claims share of early lead

For the first time in his PGA Tour career – 728 stroke-play rounds – Finau hit all 18 greens in regulation.

DETROIT – With his big infectious grin, Tony Finau tried to downplay his recent good form. The winner of last week’s 3M Open said that it’s a different week, which technically it is, but before long he finally conceded what is becoming crystal clear: his game is dialed in at the moment.

“I was riding the high off of last week,” Finau said.

Was he ever. For the first time in his PGA Tour career – 728 stroke-play rounds – Finau hit all 18 greens in regulation en route to shooting an 8-under 64 at Detroit Golf Club to share the first-round lead among the early finishers at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

“I didn’t know that fact before today, that I haven’t hit all 18 greens, so to be able to do that here today is pretty cool,” he said.

Starting his round on No. 10, Finau opened with an 8-foot birdie to pick up where he left off last Sunday, shooting 67 in Blaine, Minnesota to erase a five-stroke deficit at the start of the final round and earn his third career Tour title. On Thursday, Finau toured his first nine in 31 and tacked on three more birdies coming home, including drilling a 4-iron from 250 yards at the par-5 seventh to 42 feet.

“I had to get all of it to get it to the hole and hit it right in the middle of the green and was able to two-putt that to kind of keep the momentum up on a solid round,” Finau said.

One hole later, at the par 3, he drained a 41-foot birdie putt, his eighth circle on the card of the day. Finau’s bogey-free 64 was one stroke off the tournament course record. While he wasn’t aware of having never hit all 18 greens in a competitive round, he said he knew the course’s 18-hole scoring mark was on the line as he stood over a 20-foot birdie putt at the last.

“My last shot lacked a lot of conviction,” he said. “I wanted to at least get it to the hole, give it a shot.”

Rookie Taylor Pendrith birdied five holes in a seven-hole stretch on the front nine, starting at No. 1, and matched Finau’s score of 64. Pendrith, 31, is making just his third start since the Players Championship in March. He was sidelined with a fractured rib and then had to withdraw from the John Deere Classic earlier this month when he tested positive for COVID.

“When I’m healthy, I can compete with the best,” Pendrith said. “Other than the injury, it’s been a great rookie year so far and just nice to be back.”

The Canadian made the 3½-hour drive across the border from Ontario with his wife on Monday and said he’s got a bunch of family and friends following him this week.

“It feels like a home game,” he said.

Webb Simpson was among five golfers two strokes behind after posting 6-under 66.

“I know Detroit got a bunch of rain Sunday, a little bit yesterday, but it’s firmed out,” he said. “If we continue to see wind like we’ll have this afternoon and dry conditions, it will be really fast come Saturday, Sunday.”

Why Max Homa’s wife committed theft at a Detroit hotel (spoiler — she didn’t mean it)

He and his wife, Lacey, like to eat at The Henry hotel, but their latest trip to the restaurant could’ve ended with an arrest.

Max Homa, PGA Tour Twitter’s resident funny guy, had a new story to tell on social media after arriving in Michigan for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

He and his wife, Lacey, like to eat at The Henry hotel in Dearborn, but their latest trip to the hotel and restaurant could’ve ended with an arrest. Lacey is pregnant with their first child, and Max knew her “pregnancy brain” had kicked in when she went into the establishment looking for water.

She walked straight to The Henry’s fridge and took a water bottle without paying for it, but, luckily, she remembered where she was before leaving the premises.

“I was like, ‘All right, I guess I might need to apologize to somebody.’ We’ll figure it out,” Max said of the unwitting theft. “But yeah, it’s been fun. Yesterday was the first baby appointment I’ve missed. But the rest has been really cool to see, and seeing that part of life, it’s a reminder that golf isn’t everything. There’s a lot of things that will make you happier and have a lot more fun.”

Amid LIV Golf’s controversial rise to prominence, Homa’s one to remain focused on more pleasant matters, like becoming a first-time dad. He has six top-25 finishes in his last eight starts on Tour. He also soaked up playing with Tiger Woods at The British Open two weeks ago and took in a Detroit Tigers game for the second straight year on Tuesday.

Homa, No. 11 in the FedEx Cup standings, didn’t initially plan to play the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the third time in four years. But his hopes of pushing into the top 10 ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship made for a trip to Detroit. Before Michigan, though, he enjoyed eyeing one of golf’s greatest while chasing down leaders Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Smith at St. Andrews.

“The thing I’ll remember the most probably was the 18th (hole) walk, just because it was a historic moment,” Homa said of being grouped with Woods at The Open. “One of those things I feel like people will say, ‘I’ll never forget where I was when…’ and, like, I was there. So I thought that was neat. And it was cool to see the fans just show him the utmost respect that he has earned.”

The die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan — and part-time Detroit Lions supporter since his friend Jared Goff was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in January 2021 — enthused about the energy during the Tigers’ 10-inning, 6-4 loss to the San Diego Padres: “The energy is good. I mean, they haven’t been very great for a bit, but they’ve got Miguel Cabrera, so it was cool to hear everybody go nuts when he got up to bat. … I got to go to root against the Padres, so that’s always a joy to have a dog in the fight.”

Rocket Mortgage Classic: What’s in a name? How Cameron Davis became Cam

On the PGA Tour, it is almost a weekly battle to be low-Cam or Cameron in the field

Call it the year of Cam.

On the PGA Tour, it is almost a weekly battle to be low-Cam or Cameron in the field. After all, Cameron Smith has won the Players Championship and British Open and ranks second in the world, Cameron Young contended in two majors and is a favorite for PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and Cameron Tringale keeps banking paychecks and hanging around the top 50 in the world. Cameron Percy and Cameron Champ are the outliers, who aren’t exactly tearing it up this season, but Rocket Mortgage Classic defending champion Cam Davis seems to have found his stride, finishing T-16 or better in his last three starts.

“I don’t know, something in the name. I’m proud that the Camerons are doing well. It’s nice to be one of them,” he said in a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be a popular name in a certain age range at the moment. We’ll see if any more turn up. I think there’s still a few more in the pipeline on their way up here, so we’ll see.”

Sometime last year, Davis said he noticed something different when his name flashed on leaderboards.

“My name got changed to Cam just out of nowhere, so I think I know why. I think we needed something to start defining us a little bit more as individuals because we all just seem to be collecting out here,” he said. “I wasn’t notified or anything, just all of a sudden my name started turning up on the leaderboard as Cam instead of Cameron. I’m like I guess someone’s made the executive decision because there’s too many of us now, so I don’t know. I’m fine with it, it’s all good.”

He added: “Cam’s fine, Cam’s on my bag. I really don’t mind, to be honest. For a long time, Cam was what my family called me. So I’m happy to feel like family out here now, so Cam’s good.”

Max Homa on going from Tiger Woods pairing at 150th Open to Joel Dahmen at Rocket Mortgage Classic: ‘What a contrast…I’ve been humbled.’

“It’s like the opposite. What a contrast. They say you have to be humbled in this game, so I’ve been humbled.”

DETROIT – Max Homa still can’t get over being paired with Tiger Woods, his childhood idol, for the first two rounds of the 150th British Open at St. Andrews. He called witnessing Woods make the walk across the Swilcan Burn Bridge at 18 during the second round, potentially for the final as a competitor, a “historic moment.”

“One of those things I feel like people say, ‘I’ll never forget where I was when’ and like, I was there,” said Homa, who didn’t seem to mind that his missed cut at the Open was his first weekend off in his last 14 starts.

This week, Homa is part of a threesome for the first two rounds of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club with one of his closest friends on the PGA Tour, Joel Dahmen. Same thing, right?

“It’s like the opposite,” he said. “What a contrast. They say you have to be humbled in this game, so I’ve been humbled, went from Tiger to Joel. What a world this golf is. We talk a lot more, I know that.”

Homa said he planned to rest for the three weeks between the British Open and the start of the three-event FedEx Cup Playoffs, but added the Motor City stop to his schedule in order to see if he can improve his position in among other things the Comcast Business Top 10, which pays bonus money to the top 10 in the regular season FedEx Cup points standings – he’s No. 11, which pays squat while 10th rakes a cool $500,000 – and the U.S. Presidents Cup standings, which will help determine the 12-man squad – he’s No. 9.

“He makes it a point that he is wanting to make the team and you love to hear that,” said U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Davis Love III, adding that a rookie could bring some energy and excitement to the team.

The chance to improve his standing was enough reason for Homa to hit the road, even if it meant missing a doctor’s appointment for the baby he and wife, Lacey, are expecting. On Tuesday, he took in a Detroit Tigers game and between innings his mug was flashed on the giant screen in left field as one of the celebrities in attendance.

“Getting recognized is weird,” Homa said. “Do I like it? It kind of depends. It’s one of those things that you like why it’s happening and sometimes you don’t like that it’s happening. A lot of time I’m with my wife and it’s just awkward.”

Take, for instance, the time he was at a friend’s wedding and was washing his hands at an outdoor bathroom when the guy next to him asked for a picture.
“I don’t think it will ever not feel bizarre because I don’t feel like people should be taking pictures with me,” he said. “It’s not something you picture when you’re putting on your home putting green when you’re a kid to win the Masters, you don’t think you’re going to be taking pictures at a Detroit Tigers game with a bunch of strangers, but it is what it is.”

Homa, 31, is winding up the best season of his career, notching two of his four career Tour wins and eight other top-20 finishes. He’s climbed to No. 20 in the Official World Golf Ranking and is poised to qualify for the Tour Championship, which is reserved for the top-30 in the FedEx Cup point standings after the BMW Championship, the second leg of the three-event playoffs, for the first time.

“It’s obviously been a very big goal of mine,” he said. “I felt like three weeks off at home, it’s a billion degrees in Arizona, it would be better to practice on a great golf course and get ready to try to peak at the right time at the end of the season.”

Photos: Why the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic has arguably the best merchandise of the year

Which one is your favorite?

DETROIT – Of all the PGA Tour events I’ve been to this year, the Rocket Mortgage Classic wins the award for best merchandise shop.

I don’t know if there is such an award, but there should be one. The Merch tents, including the majors, can be very hit and miss with their gear.

For starters, the Rocket Mortgage Classic positioned its shop a short distance from the main spectator entrance. You can’t miss it. You don’t have to hike five miles to get to it. That alone is a win. But what the RMC does best is lean into the legacy of the city with lots of music and Motor City references, area code 313 – also the nickname for the three-hole loop of Nos. 14-16 at Detroit Golf Club – as well as the John Shippen, its pre-tournament qualifier for aspiring minority golfers.

Trap Golf, a brand started by veteran Tour caddie Wayne Birch (A.K.A. Wayne-O Drain-O) and golf influencer Roger Steele are part of the team that launched the brand. Birch was hawking gear in the merch shop on Tuesday.

There is also apparel from Eastside Golf, a lifestyle brand that has its roots right here in the Motor City. Of course, the shop also has got your Nike, Puma and Greyson too (LevelWear also top shelf but a little pricey). It just felt as if the apparel brands invested some serious time and effort into making gear that will have tournament attendees stylin’ and profilin’ all year long.

Here’s a look at some of the best merchandise from the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

‘We are the best tour’: Will Zalatoris believes when the dust settles, the PGA Tour will be just fine

“I think that we just need to let the dust settle if you will and we’ll be just fine.”

As big names started to move on from the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed, Greg Norman-led LIV Golf Series, rumors began to fly on which star would be next.

Will Zalatoris’ name was thrown in the mix.

However, he immediately shot down the notion with a social media post on June 30th: “I have dreamed of winning on the PGA Tour and winning majors since I was a little kid. I love where the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour and their associated tours are headed.”

Fast forward a month and he’s still being asked questions about LIV, but this time it’s about the potential distraction the newly-born league is causing.

Rocket Mortgage: Thursday tee times | Expert picks | PGA Tour Live on ESPN+

“I’m a Player Advisory Council member, so we talk about it internally a lot,” he said Tuesday ahead of this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. “It’s a wild time for the PGA Tour and I guess golf as a whole, but the changes that I think are going to happen and everything that’s going to come down the road is only going to make us stronger.”

“And we are the best tour. Every week we’re playing the best courses on the planet…I just think that just let time come and let everything kind of settle and it will be very clear, but right now with all the changes and how everything has been just so wild and a lot of hearsay, I think that we just need to let the dust settle if you will, and we’ll be just fine.”

As for this week, the 25-year-old has his sights set on getting his first win.

“Yeah, obviously I’ve been really close to getting that first win, knocked on the door a bunch,” he said. “Just got to keep doing what we’re doing. Game’s been feeling really good. I think everything has been really starting to click, especially after this week off.”

Zalatoris has lost in two playoffs already this season. One to Luke List at the Farmers Insurance Open and another at the PGA Championship to Justin Thomas. In all, the Wake Forest product has eight top 10s, including another heart-breaking defeat at the U.S. Open.

Despite the winless 2021-22 campaign, Zalatoris sits ninth in the FedEx Cup standings. Last year, despite having enough points to make the playoffs, he was ineligible due to his lack of PGA Tour status. This season is a different story, as his spot at East Lake is all but locked up.

“You know, I don’t play this game for money,” he said when asked what he’d do with the $18 million dollars that goes to the winner of the Tour Championship. “Obviously, like I said, my career goal is to be a PGA Tour winner and a major champion at some point and the money comes with it.”

Zalatoris finished 77th at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage, stumbling over the weekend (74-76) after playing his first 36 holes 6 under. He enters as one of the favorites sitting at +1500, behind only Patrick Cantlay (+1000).
