DETROIT – Consider Cameron Champ a fan of the front nine at Detroit Golf Club.
Champ was one of the last finishers Thursday afternoon at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and after a slow start he birdied five of the last seven holes on the front side, his second nine, to come home in 32. But that was barely noteworthy compared to his second-round effort, where Champ torched the outward half to the tune of an 8-under 28 that helped him take the tournament lead at 13 under.
Champ’s front side included a six-hole stretch of five birdies and an eagle from Nos.
