Lashley leads as Woodland, DJ slow to start at Rocket Mortgage Classic

Lashley (63): Career day product of 'relaxed, confident golf'

Detroit Golf Club celebrated its PGA Tour debut with a birdie-fest Thursday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but not everyone got the invite, including the recent U.S. Open champion. Here’s where thing stand after the first round in Detroit:

Leaderboard: Nate Lashley (-9), Ryan Armour (-8), Charles Howell III (-7), Talor Gooch (-7), Chez Reavie (-7), Stewart Cink (-7)

What it means: Coming off a T-28 finish at the U.S. Open, Nate Lashley is having another strong week. He failed to Monday-qualify into this week’s event in the Motor City, but he got in the field via the alternate list.
