Welcome to Playing Through’s morning ritual, Golf Talk Today.
Each morning on “Golf Talk Today,” our staff discusses various elements of the PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV Golf and more.
It’s move-in day at Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai are tied for the lead at 13 under and are the only two without a bogey on their scorecards. For the second week in a row, the tournament has been a birdie fest.
With inclement weather looming at the Detroit Golf Club, the PGA Tour opted to take a precaution and have players play from split tees again for Saturday’s round. Who can take advantage of the course on Saturday and post low scores heading into the final day?
So, make some coffee, have some breakfast, and settle in for Round 3 of the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
