Davis Thompson shoots 63, takes lead at PGA Tour's Rocket Classic

DETROIT -- Davis Thompson, in his third PGA Tour event as a professional, is leading the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

He's not excited about that fact. Yet.

"Sounds good on Sunday," Thompson said after matching a Detroit Golf Club record with a 9-under 63 to take the early first-round lead. "It's only Thursday. I know I've got a long way to go."

Brandon Hagy, Tom Lewis and Joaquin Niemann were two shots back. Seamus Power and J.J. Spaun shot 66, putting them another stroke behind the surprising leader.
