Rocket Mortgage Classic

Detroit Golf Club | Detroit, MI | Tuesday, July 26- Sunday, July 31, 2022

PLAYER FIELD NOTES:

  • The Rocket Mortgage Classic’s 156-player field is complete after Luke Guthrie, Chris Naegel, K.K. Limbhasut and Erik Flores earned the tournament’s final four berths in the Rocket Mortgage Classic’s Monday Qualifier at The Orchards Golf Club in Washington, Michigan. Guthrie, from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and Naegel, from Wildwood, Missouri, each carded a 6-under-par 66 to share medalist honors in the 18-hole qualifier. Limbhasut, a Thailand native residing in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Flores, of Cornelius, North Carolina, came in one stroke back after rounds of 5-under 67. All four players will play in their first Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Guthrie, 32, is a PGA TOUR veteran who will only play in his second PGA TOUR tournament since 2016. Naegel, 39, making his ninth PGA TOUR start, made the cut at last month’s U.S. Open and recorded his best PGA TOUR finish three weeks ago with a T16 at the John Deere Classic. Limbhasut, who graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2019 and played college golf with Collin Morikawa, will make his second PGA TOUR start this week. Flores, 35, was a 2008 NCAA Division I team champion with UCLA and is set to play in his second PGA TOUR event, and his first in nearly 11 years.

  • Emiliano Grillo withdrew from the tournament and was replaced in the field by Robert Garrigus (third alternate).

    I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It?¦s lovely price sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before.
