sarahgibson+FollowPotgieter vs. Knapp: Rocket Classic DramaWhat a wild Rocket Classic this year! Young gun Aldrich Potgieter held the 54-hole lead, but Jake Knapp’s Friday course record made things spicy. Potgieter showed real grit Sunday after some early nerves, fighting off Knapp and Chris Kirk to chase that $1.728M winner’s share. With 86 players making the cut (crazy, right?), the payout got tight at the bottom, but the top dogs still cashed big. This rivalry could be one to watch all season! #RocketClassic #PGATour #GolfRivalry #Sports #Golf00Share

Could this be the boost the Motor City needs to keep its PGA stop? #RocketClassic #PGATour #GolfNews #Sports #Golf00Share
swall+FollowMorikawa vs. Media: Press Room TensionsWow, things got heated between Collin Morikawa and reporter Adam Schupak at the Rocket Classic presser! Morikawa, aka the two-time major champ, called out Schupak for using a quote he felt made him look bad about his caddie situation and focus during the pro-am. Morikawa stressed how important those pro-am partners are and didn’t appreciate the way the story was framed. Schupak ended up editing the article, but this isn’t the first time Morikawa’s had a run-in with the press this season. Thoughts on how King Collin handled it? #Morikawa #GolfDrama #RocketClassic #Sports #Golf00Share
sarahgibson+FollowPotgieter’s Power Surge: Can He Hold Off Morikawa?Aldrich Potgieter, the Tour’s youngest bomber, just lit up Detroit with a front-nine birdie blitz to grab a 2-shot Rocket Classic lead.

Potgieter’s mix of power and finesse is turning heads—will it be enough for his first PGA Tour win? #RocketClassic #Potgieter #Morikawa #Sports #Golf00Share

He told Amanda Balionis this switch was a long time coming, and now he’s just a few shots off the lead. Could this be the move that gets the two-time major champ back in the winner’s circle? Let’s hear your takes on this gutsy mid-tourney change! #Morikawa #RocketClassic #GolfTalk #Sports #Golf10Share
Gabriella Gonzalez+FollowBen Griffin’s Wild Jib Cart Ruling!Did anyone catch Ben Griffin’s crazy break at the Rocket Classic? On 14, his ball actually landed in the TV camera cart—yep, the one with the giant crane! The rules official treated it like a fan’s lap, so Ben got a free drop (and maybe a better lie thanks to the matted grass). He saved par and kept his hot streak alive. With two wins and a Ryder Cup spot in sight, is Griffin the breakout star of 2025? #RocketClassic #BenGriffin #GolfRules #Sports #Golf00Share
