Heading into Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, one thing is clear. It’s anyone’s tournament to win. With 14 players within four-strokes of the lead, this week’s final round has an eerily similar feel to last week’s Travelers Championship. While I don’t envision another eight-hole playoff in our future, there is a decent chance extra golf may be required.

Le Chilien Joaquin Niemann et l’Anglais Tom Lewis entameront les rondes de la fin de semaine au sommet du classement de la Classique Rocket Mortgage. Les deux hommes ont complété la deuxième journée d’activités, vendredi, avec un cumulatif de 134 (-10).
Chacun des deux golfeurs a retranché trois coups à la normale de 72 du Detroit Golf Club lors de la deuxième ronde. Les deux ont réussi un sans-faute de trois oiselets.
Ils entameront la troisième ronde avec une mince priorité d’une seule frappe sur un trio de participants, dont fait partie l’Américain Max Homa, codétenteur du meilleur pointage de la journée.
