Former MSU golfer Ryan Brehm has rollercoaster first round at Rocket Classic
With the PGA Tour returning for their annual trip to Detroit, the seventh edition of the Rocket Classic began on Thursday at the Detroit Golf Club. Former Spartan Ryan Brehm, a 2008 Michigan State graduate, has been a mainstay on the PGA Tour, and he made another start in Detroit.
The Mt. Pleasant (MI) native, Brehm is looking to get his 2025 summer off of the ground, and is looking towards his hometown PGA Tour event to do so.
On Thursday, it was an up and down affair for Brehm, who ultimately finished at a 71 (-1). At one point, late in the first round, Brehm was sitting at a very comfortable -3, but back to back bogeys to finish his round left a sour taste in his mouth.
While he is a few shoots off of the number to make the weekend, he is still very much in the mix for making his first cut of 2025, but is in need for a big day on Friday.
He will tee off at 7:07 a.m. on the first tee, looking for a big day to make the weekend.

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.
