Spartan golfer Ashton McCulloch has tough first round at 2025 Rocket Classic
With the PGA Tour returning to Detroit for the Rocket Classic, and the headlining sponsor being Rocket Mortgage, a major partner with MSU, recent MSU senior Ashton McCulloch was given a sponsors exemption into the field for the 2025 event.
The event, taking place at Detroit Golf Club, was McCulloch's fourth event on the PGA Tour, while still competing as an amateur. The Spartan was looking to make his first cut on the tour, narrowly missing the cut by one stroke earlier this year at the RBC Canadian Open.
Unfortunately for McCulloch, it was not his day on the course. An eight bogey, two birdie day left him at a final score of 78 (+6) on the day.
While making the cut is highly improbable, McCulloch will still play his second round on Friday with an 8:57 a.m. tee time on the first tee.

2026 5-star WR and LSU commit praises Texas A&M WR coach Holmon Wiggins
Texas A&M's third-ranked 2026 recruiting class features elite talent at nearly every position. After landing four-star tackles Avery Morcho and Zaden Krempin on Wednesday afternoon, coach Mike Elko and his staff are still in the running for several elite prospects in the cycle, which includes five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, who is presently committed to LSU. Highly regarded as one of the best athletes in the class due to his eltie route running skill set, downfield speed and 6-3 frame, Keys understads that despite his LSU commitment, his recent official visits to Texas A&M (June 5), Auburn (June 10), Tennessee (June 13) and Alabama (June 17) are all being taken into account before he potentially signs with the Tigers. On Thursday, Keys, who was taking part in the annual OT7 Overtime event, sat down with the 247Sports recruiting staff to discuss his recent OVs, and what may be surprising to some, after the host asked what Keys likes the most about Texas A&M, the facilities, coach Mike Elko, and WR coach Holmon Wiggins led the way. "Everything, man; It's a business school, they do a great job from business standpoint, a lot of connectons, networking, etc." Keys stated. "But the main part for me would be coach (Holmon) Wiggins, man. He's got a great resume, and is one of the best." Wiggins' impact after one full offseason with Texas A&M included landing 2025 five-star WR Jerome Myles, and securing commitments from veteran receivers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver from the transfer portal. During his five-year coaching career at Alabama, Wiggins helped develop several first-round wide receivers, including DeVonta Smith, who won the Heisman Trophy after the 2020 season. While Texas A&M has not had a 1,000-yard receiver since Josh Reynolds hauled in 1,039 yards and 12 touchdowns during the 2016 season, Wiggins has proven his worth as a recruiter/developer heading into his second season with the Aggies. During his 2024 junior season, Tristen Keys recorded 58 receptions for 1,275 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, leading Hattiesburg High School to the MHSAA Class 6A title game.

PGA Tour Fans Want 'Media Training' for Collin Morikawa Amid Reporter Feud
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 PGA Tour is in Detroit this week for the Rocket Classic. The weather is expected to be warm, but the course is not the only thing heated. Collin Morikawa still has not recovered his cool from his heated exchange with a reporter during his pre-tournament press conference. After his first-round performance, a (different) member of the press covering the event asked him to expand on the topic, and the two-time major champion jumped at the chance. Morikawa elaborated on the reasons that led him to speak the way he did during Wednesday's press conference. "I have to stand up for myself because I'm not going to let someone throw little jabs at me and just make me into someone I'm not, because I know who I am and that's all that matters." 'I think I have to stand up for myself because I'm not going to let someone throw little jabs at me…' Collin Morikawa follows up on the exchange he had with a reporter during his pre-tournament press conference. — (@GOLF_com) June 26, 2025 "I know my people, my team, my family know who I am, but this whole perception out there right now is just, it's a little ridiculous." The 28-year-old player also revealed details about his relationship with this particular reporter. "Look, this has happened twice between the same -- between me and Alan. It hasn't happened between anyone else. A lot of other reporters, media, I respect everyone." Fans have shown no mercy to Morikawa for returning to this topic, leaving both criticism and advice on social media: "Dude DEFINITELY needs to hire a PR consultant," @johnshewchuk said. "The irony is if he hadn't have raised this issue, nobody would even be aware of it. He needs to defend himself from himself, first and foremost. Desperately needs a PR person to advise him," @thisguy290 posted. "What the f**k is this dude doing, this is an elite level of owning yourself," @jonhawks317 wrote. "He's trying to create drama bc he feels that golfers are treated unfairly. If you read the article, there are literally no jabs thrown. He should just worry about putting honestly," @tushpush4L posted.

Collin Morikawa of the United States looks on from the 16th green during the first round of the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 26, 2025 in Detroit, it was precisely the putting that was the core issue in Morikawa's poor first round at the Rocket Classic, golf-wise. The six-time PGA Tour winner lost 4.7 strokes with his putting, the worst record of the 156 players in the field. "I've been so focused on hitting my irons better that I haven't put enough honestly time into putting. The last couple weeks haven't been great, but they haven't felt as bad," he said. Morikawa carded an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys on Thursday for a 3-under 69. That score keeps him tied for 66th place. He will tee off at 12:54 pm ET on Friday.

Pair of Surprising PGA Tour Pros Set Course Record at Rocket Classic
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 PGA Tour shifted from the pressure-packed Travelers Championship last week to the Rocket Classic in Detroit this week. And in the opening round itself, the golf world witnessed not only low scores but some record-breaking performances. In just 18 minutes apart from each other, two PGA Tour professionals, Kevin Roy and Aldrich Potgieter, torched Detroit Golf Club with matching 10-under 62s, setting a new 18-hole course record.

(Image Collage | Getty images) Getty Images Roy, 35, and Potgieter, 20, couldn't be more different in age or experience, but they now share a similar slice of memory from the Rocket Classic. Roy began on the front nine and closed with an eagle-birdie finish, including a chip-in from 30 feet on the par-5 17th. "I was shocked my 5-wood went that far," Roy said. "I had 279 pin, I don't hit a 5-wood that far but maybe a little adrenaline or something going on. Luckily just trickled off the back... rolled in like a two-footer. Certainly a bonus." It's not Roy's first 62 this season, he also opened with the same number at the Puerto Rico Open. But this one, he said, meant more. "This is a much harder golf course... Puerto Rico's a lot more wedges. This one, you're going to have more 9, 8, 7, 6-irons into some holes. This one definitely I'll put on top of Puerto Rico for sure." A pair of course record 62s, carded 8 minutes apart (!) Aldrich Potgieter and Kevin Roy share the lead @RocketClassic. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 26, 2025 Potgieter, on the other hand, scorched the course with a 7-under 29 going out. He nearly stole the outright lead on his final hole, but his 12-foot birdie putt on No. 9 grazed the edge. "I did, I started walking after it," he said after his round. "But it was a good putt, I'm happy with it... just a little unfortunate but I'll take the 62 still." This marks Potgieter's first career 18-hole lead/co-lead in just his 20th PGA Tour start. He's already had a breakout season, with a playoff loss at the Mexico Open and a T6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Interestingly, he currently leads the Tour in driving distance at 326.6 yards. He admitted he was amazed to see Roy's name at 10-under. "I was standing on the last hole and I looked at the leaderboard and saw someone else at 10, so I was real eager to make that putt on the last." "But it's impressive... I saw [Min Woo Lee's] score at 9 under so I knew there were some opportunities out there," he stated.

More Photo byThe previous 18-hole scoring record at Detroit Golf Club was 63, tied 10 times since the tournament's inception in 2019. That mark was matched earlier in the day by Min Woo Lee, Mark Hubbard, and Max Greyserman, before Roy and Potgieter rewrote the number. Lee, who won the Texas Children's Houston Open in March, carded 10 birdies in his round of 63. Hubbard and Greyserman also posted bogey-free rounds to stay within striking distance. In round 2, Roy and Potgieter will tee off early on Friday, with Roy scheduled for 6:45 a.m. ET and Potgieter at 6:56 a.m. ET.
