Rocket Mortgage Classic: Dylan Wu 1 back after albatross; Taylor Moore, Peter Kuest lead
The HinduTaylor Moore and qualifier Peter Kuest shot 8-under 64s to share the first-round lead in the Rocket Mortgage Classic, with a slew of players chasing in what’s expected to be a shootout. Dylan Wu had the third albatross on the PGA Tour this season and shot 65, joining Sam Ryder, Aaron Rai, Ludvig Aberg, Sam Bennett, Justin Suh and Adam Schenk. 66 in the FedEx Cup standings, Thomas, who won his second PGA Championship last year, is in danger of missing a postseason that will include the top 70 players. Wu didn’t see it go in because he lost the ball in flight on a hazy day due to smoky air from Canada’s wildfires that have given Detroit some of the worst air quality in the U.S. Kuest, a 25-year-old former BYU player who turned pro in 2020, is playing in his 10th career PGA Tour event.
