Akshay Bhatia loses Rocket Mortgage Classic with 3-putt on final hole
Akshay Bhatia didn't have a single three-putt at the Rocket Mortgage Classic until the final hole of the tournament, giving Cam Davis the win.
Cam Davis is the undisputed king of the Rocket Classic. The Australian is the only person to ever win the tournament twice. It's also the only place he's ever won on the PGA Tour.
Davis will look for a third title and his second in a row at the 2025 Rocket Classic, when the PGA Tour returns to Detroit Golf Club for the seventh time June 26-29.
Though the tournament has only existed since 2019, it has already featured two playoffs.
In 2021, Davis defeated Tony Merritt and Joaquín Niemann to claim his first title. In 2023, Rickie Fowler birdied the first hole of the playoff to hold off Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin.
All prior champions of the tournament, with the exception of Bryson DeChambeau, who joined LIV Golf, have announced their participation in the tournament. Collin Morikawa is the highest-ranked player in the field, No. 4 in the world.
The PGA Tour has been announcing new entrants as we get closer to tournament time. Among the commitments is Ryan Brehm, from Mount Pleasant, who helped Michigan State win three Big Ten championships from 2004-08.
Another Spartan also received a berth in the field as senior Ashton McCullough earned a sponsor's exemption to play in the tournament. McCullough is the career leader in scoring average for the Spartans with a mark of 71.59.
Fans can purchase tickets at RocketClassic.com. Grounds tickets start at $65 per day. Children ages 15 and under are free with ticketed adult (no more than four per adult).

LIV Golf's Marc Leishman returns to majors, gets in the mix at U.S. Open
Marc Leishman's bunker shot splashed out of the sand, took four quick bounces and rolled straight into the hole for birdie on the long, par-3 eighth hole at Oakmont. Suddenly, a name that was once no stranger to leaderboards at majors was up there once again. Not bad for a player who had every reason to wonder if he'd ever get another chance to play in one, let alone contend. The 41-year-old Australian, whose departure to LIV Golf three years ago generated few headlines but changed his life completely, shot 2-under 68 at the U.S. Open on Saturday. He made five birdies over his first 12 holes to briefly get on the leaderboard before leaving the course six shots off the lead. "I've been playing some of the best golf of my career this year," said Leishman, who is coming off his first LIV win, at Doral in April, then earned one of four spots at a U.S. Open qualifier in Maryland this month. "The schedule sort of lends itself to be able to work on your game between tournaments, and I was really able to prepare for this tournament." This is Leishman's first major since the 2022 British Open. He is already exempt for this year's British Open based on a third-place finish at the Australian Open in December. His move to LIV, where tournaments do not qualify for points in the world ranking that help decide large chunks of the field in major events, left the six-time winner on the PGA Tour in limbo when it came to ever playing in golf's biggest events again. "You wonder, of course, if you're ever going to get in," Leishman said. "But there was certainly no regret. My life is as good as I've ever been right now." The $24.8 million Leishman has won since heading to LIV, to say nothing of the reduced schedule and the 54-hole tournaments, help explain that. What went missing were the all-but-automatic spots in golf's biggest tournaments that go to the PGA Tour's top performers. Leishman played in 39 of 41 majors between 2012-22. For a time, he had a knack for getting in the mix. His three top-10s at the British Open in the 2010s included a three-way tie for the lead after 72 holes in 2015, before losing in a playoff eventually captured by Zach Johnson. The Aussie played in the second-to-last group on Sunday at the 2013 Masters (with fellow Aussie and eventual winner Adam Scott). "I like tough courses," Leishman said. "I like courses that separate the field, when it really punishes bad shots and rewards good shots." He had his share of both on Saturday. Good: the bunker shot on 8, and a 300-yard fairway wood on the par-5 12th that set up birdie and got him to 2-over par. Bad: Three straight bogeys on 14-16, though he came back with a birdie on the drivable par-4 17th and par on No. 18. Leishman left the course tied for 15th, six shots out of first, with the leaders still early in their rounds Saturday. He's well aware that a top-four finish here would add the Masters to his 2026 schedule. Either way, he is at peace with the choices he made, and where that left him — which in this case is with a late starting time in the final round of a major again. "I really enjoyed sitting down with my kids and my mates watching the Masters and the PGA," Leishman said of the year's first two majors. "I'd be more happy if people were sitting down watching me."

Oakmont Claims Next Victim as U.S. Open Favorite Withdraws
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2025 U.S. Open has wreaked havoc all week, with more players finishing 20-over par or worse than in red figures. That is because Oakmont Country Club has been a beast, and has even left some literally feeling the pain. Corey Conners came into the 125th U.S. Open ranked among the Top 30 players in the field at Oakmont Country Club. Instead of being among those who get a cut of the $21.5 million purse, he heads home early. The Canadian golfer withdrew from a tournament for the first time in his PGA Tour career. BREAKING: Corey Conners has withdrawn from the U.S. Open due to the wrist injury — Adam Stanley (@adam_stanley) June 15, 2025 He pulled out of the competition due to a wrist injury during the first round when he hit a television cable at Oakmont Country Club, per Sports Net reporter Adam Stanley. Conners shot 72-74 in the first two rounds and got off to a hot start on Saturday. He was 3-under through five holes, but once he got to the 11th, disaster happened. OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 14: Corey Conners of Canada get treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.... OAKMONT, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 14: Corey Conners of Canada get treatment on the 12th tee during the third round of the 125th U.S. OPEN at Oakmont Country Club on June 14, 2025 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. More Photo byStanley first reported that Conners hurt his wrist on his approach shot on 11, where he had a plugged lie. He hacked it out, but came up holding his wrist. At this point, Conners radioed to get a medical person out on the course so that they could check him out. The 33-year-old received treatment from Dr. Stuart Love, the Canadian sports chiropractor, on the 12th tee because they had to keep up the pace. Conners pushed through, but came home 5-over on the back nine. He finished the third round at 8-over heading into the last day of play. Sunday morning, Conners showed up and began his warm-up, but quickly realized playing golf was not happening. "I'm told Corey hit six pitch shots this morning and hurt on every one. Done and out," Stanley wrote in a tweet update after he announced Conners would withdraw. I'm told Corey hit six pitch shots this morning and hurt on every one. Done and out. Unfortunate as he was playing so well through Saturday morning before the plugged lie hack. — Adam Stanley (@adam_stanley) June 15, 2025 Conners and Ryan Fox were slated for the 10:20 a.m. ET tee time. Instead, the RBC Canadian Open winner will have to play as a solo for the final 18 holes at Oakmont. The two-time PGA Tour winner has played some strong golf in 2025, with five top-10s in 15 starts. He only missed one cut ahead of this third major, the Sony Open in Hawaii. His best finish came at the Arnold Palmer Invitational when he claimed solo third. Since that finish, Conners went T6, T8, T18 and left The Masters with his fourth top 10 in five starts. Conners capped off the PGA Championship with a T19. Hopefully, the two-time Presidents Cup team member will recover quickly before the fourth and final major, The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Conners clinched his spot at Portrush earlier this year after his incredible performance at Bay Hill. More Golf: Wyndham Clark Loses Temper, Goes Berserk in U.S. Open Locker Room
