HELLO ALL
Good morning, afternoon and evening all, and welcome to Golf Monthly’s final round coverage of the Rocket Classic, where a tight leaderboard is in play at Detroit Golf Club.
As of writing, we have a four-way tie for the lead at 19-under, with several players just a handful of shots behind. Among the chasing pack are Collin Morikawa, Nicolai Hojgaard and Matt Fitzpatrick.
CHANGES AT THE TOP
We have a new leader and it’s Michael Thorbjornsen, who birdies the par 5 seventh following a comfortable four. He is the first player to move to 20-under-par in Detroit.
Behind the American, Aldrich Potgieter has bogeyed the par 3 fifth following a poor tee shot and chip, with his par effort from eight-foot sliding by. He drops back to 18-under, two back of Thorbjornsen.
KIRK GETS TO 19-UNDER
Chris Kirk is searching for a seventh PGA Tour title and, at the par 5 seventh, the American makes birdie to get to 19-under, one back of Thorbjornsen.
PARS FOR THE FINAL PAIRING
Potgieter and Max Greyserman are the final pairing and, at the par 4 sixth, Potgieter just misses his birdie putt on the right-side, while Greyserman holes an excellent putt for par to remain at 19-under.
Up ahead, Thorbjornsen’s lead doesn’t last long, with the American failing to get up-and-down from the back edge of the green at the par 4 eighth. It’s his first bogey of the day and drops him back into a four-way tie for the lead.
THE CHEF SETS THE CLUBHOUSE TARGET

Min Woo Lee produced a course record 62 on Thursday and, despite following it up with two average rounds, the Aussie cards a six-under 66 final round.
He finishes 18-under for the tournament and, currently, leads in the clubhouse. It will not be enough, but it’s yet another solid week from Lee, who claimed his first PGA Tour win earlier this year.
KNAPP TAKES THE LEAD
The par 5 seventh has been playing as one of the easier holes today and, following two good shots, Jake Knapp makes birdie to lead at 20-under-par.
Up ahead, Thorbjornsen’s struggles continue, with the American making a bogey at the ninth for a front nine of 34. That’s back-to-back bogeys to close out his first nine holes, with the 23-year-old 18-under.
