The first round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic produced a crowded leaderboard with Kevin Kisner, Doc Redman and Scott Stallings finishing the day tied for first place.
Each leader finished seven strokes under par with a 65 Thursday at Detroit Country Club in Michigan, although Kisner was the only one of the three who avoided birdies. Redman and Stallings each had eight birdies and one bogey.
Despite their strong starts, the next three days of the tournament should remain competitive with seven golfers sitting just one stroke off the lead, including a red-hot Bryson DeChambeau. Rickie Fowler and Adam Hadwin are among the notable competitors two strokes back, reaming within striking distance after Day 1.
