Golf’s Rising Stars Shine at the Rocket Mortgage Classic
As the golfing world descends upon the Detroit Golf Club, a new generation of stars is emerging to take the sport by storm. Akshay Bhatia, the 23-year-old American, stole the show on day one of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, finishing with an impressive eight-under-par round of 64.
Bhatia’s stunning finish
Bhatia’s remarkable round was punctuated by four birdies and an eagle in his final seven holes, leaving him a single shot ahead of fellow Americans Taylor Montgomery and Michael Kim. The young golfer’s confidence is soaring after his recent win at the Texas Open, and he’s clearly determined to make his mark on the PGA Tour.
Meanwhile, England’s Aaron Rai is hot on Bhatia’s heels, just two shots off the lead. Rai’s consistent play has earned him a reputation as one of the most promising young golfers in the world, and he’s well-positioned to make a push for the top spot.
“I’m feeling great about my game right now,” Rai said in a post-round interview. “I’ve been working hard on my swing, and it’s nice to see it paying off.”

As the tournament heats up, fans are in for a treat. With a talented field of golfers vying for the top spot, the Rocket Mortgage Classic is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events of the season.
