DETROIT — Akshay Bhatia closed strong enough in the opening round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic that he surged atop the leaderboard, and yet he knows no lead is safe at the Detroit Golf Club.
Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont., was three shots back and Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., was four strokes off the lead. “I was more nervous today than I have been on the golf course in forever just because I felt so unprepared,” Montgomery said, adding he had played just four times in two months. The 23-year-old Shipley, who was the low amateur at the Masters and U.S. Open, was 2 over after eight holes, then played the final 10 in 7 under. He eagled the par-4 first and had five five straight birdies on Nos. 4-8.Tom Kim, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 16, lost in a playoff to Scottie Scheffler last week and may have shown signs of fatigue in his ninth consecutive tournament.
Miles Russell is talented enough to earn a sponsor exemption after becoming the youngest player in Korn Ferry Tour history to make a cut. At 15, though, he's not old enough to drive the courtesy car provided by the tournament and technically isn't permitted to enter the men's locker room at Detroit Golf Club.
