Davis Thompson makes three eagles in just eight holes at Rocket Classic
The skies were clear but lightning figuratively struck twice Saturday at Detroit Golf Club as a second golfer in the 2025 Rocket Classic made three eagles in one round. Atlanta native Davis Thompson, 26, became the second golfer in two days to drop three eagles in a single round at the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic in Detroit during Saturday's action. Before Philip Knowles did it Friday in the second round, the feat had never been accomplished during the previous six years of the Rocket. It had only happened once on the PGA Tour in 2025: Chandler Phillips did it in Round 1 at the Players Championship. Thompson's three eagles were even more rare because all three came on the front nine — in his first eight holes. Thompson, who started the day at 8-under, six shots back of the leaders, had his first eagle on the first hole, where he hit a 303-yard drive. His 80-yard wedge fell in for a deuce on the short par-4. He sank a birdie on the par-5 fourth, bogeyed Nos. 5 and 6, and then made back-to-back eagles on the par-5 seventh and short par-4 eighth. No. 7 has been a popular eagle this week, and Thompson took advantage. A 316-yard drive and 234-yard approach shot gave him a 37-foot putt, which he drained to recover from the bogeys. The 352-yard par-4 eighth hole is guarded by sand traps on each side, and though many players have birdied it, Thompson defeated the hole by simply driving the ball 344 yards to 7 feet. He capitalized with his third eagle of the day to climb to 5 under par on the round and 13-under total. He bogeyed the par-3 ninth to shoot a 4-under 32 on the front. Thompson then bounced back with a birdie on the par-4 No. 10. Thompson moved up 32 spots with his performance on the front nine and inside the top 10 as the leaders teed off.

Padraig Harrington chides Roger Maltbie for not helping look for ball at U.S. Senior Open
Padraig Harrington and NBC's Roger Maltbie likely won't be exchanging Christmas cards this year. In a viral video posted on X by Colorado Springs reporter Brett Forrest, the 53-year-old Harrington took umbrage with the 73-year-old former tour player Maltbie for not helping look for a golf ball during the second round of the U.S. Senior Open at the Broadmoor's East Course. The video has already been viewed more than two million times. In the unwritten rules of golf etiquette, it's considered good form for players to help search for another competitor's lost ball. Harrington, a three-time major winner and World Golf Hall of Famer, took Maltbie to task after the second round outside of scoring for not participating in the search. 'Never on a golf course stand and look at somebody looking for a golf ball," said Harrington, pointing out to Maltbie that 'you've played golf all your life.' Maltbie, who won five PGA Tour titles between 1976 and 1986, stood his ground and voiced his opinion that he's 'not a player' and was 'trying to do my job.' It's a gray area because a reporter never wants to become part of the story, so it's understandable that Maltbie would stand back and watch and report; however, it's not uncommon to see those inside the ropes participate in a ball search. Harrington's longtime caddie Ronan Flood can be seen stepping between the two and playing peacemaker. It's unclear from the video whose ball was being looked for. Harrington did lose a ball in the first round. He shot 67 on Friday and shared the 36-hole lead with Stewart Cink.
