DETROIT – The inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic will be missing two of its biggest names over the weekend.
World No. 2 Dustin Johnson and newly-minted U.S. Open champ Gary Woodland received plenty of fanfare leading into the PGA Tour’s return to Detroit after a decade-long absence, but neither player could keep pace with the low scoring through the first two rounds at Detroit Golf Club. Woodland admitted that his preparation took a hit because of post-Pebble media obligations, and after playing his first 11 holes Thursday in 5 over he spent the next day and a half battling back.
