Thursday Night Recap - Rocket Mortgage Classic
Hello members,
Birdies were everywhere today, as expected. 8-under 64s were shot by two players today - Peter Kuest and Taylor Moore. They lead by one stroke over seven players at 7-under, including Adam Schenk, One Putts pick this week Justin Suh, Sam Bennett, Dylan Wu, Aaron Rai, Sam Ryder, and Ludvig Aberg.
Albatross alert on the Par 5 14th from 262 yards out by Dylan Wu. Talk about incredible, but apparently no video evidence of it? Hmm. He, also, almost hit for the golf cycle today - he had an albatross, eagle, birdie, par, and bogey.
More birdies expected tomorrow. Happy Friday eve everyone!
Oh, P.S. Capital One’s The Match is happening right now on TNT. Check it out if you want to see some professional athletes play golf poorly.
Not afraid to go low.
@taylormooregolf owns the co-lead after a hot start @RocketClassic.

Weather
A little hotter tomorrow with the high of 88. Low around 69 with a slight chance of a storm coming through.
Updated Betting Odds
My pre-tournament picks:
Rickie Fowler - +1000 - 5-under 67 to be T14. He didn’t lose it on the first day, so that’s good.
Tony Finau - +12500 - defending champ struggled today to shoot Even. He’s currently T107.
Justin Suh - +1400 - T3 after a 7-under 65. Lookin’ good baby!

Reminder: for every birdie I make, playing with @RickieFowler, I’ve got 10 @thelongdrink’s waiting at J’s Penalty Box.
