PGA TOUR 2022, Rocket Mortgage Classic, Detroit GC, Michigan, 28-31 July: Day One
Tony Finau and Taylor Pendrith share a two shot lead on Day One in Detroit
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by The AP:
DETROIT — Tony Finau sent an approach from 250 yards soaring over trees and onto the seventh green at Detroit Golf Club, going for the reward and ignoring the risk with a difficult shot.

Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA TOUR, and Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Read more

Finau put together a ball-striking clinic at Detroit Golf Club as he gained over four strokes on approach and nearly another two off the tee. In fact, the 32-year-old was so in sync with his driver and irons in hand that he ranked outside the top 45 in both short-game metrics. Read more
