Doc Redman collected seven birdies in his last eight holes to grab a share of the first-round lead at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Thursday | IOLsport

DETROIT - Doc Redman collected seven birdies in his last eight holes to grab a share of the first-round lead with Scott Stallings and Kevin Kisner at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Thursday.

But after taking his only bogey of the round at the 10th, the 22-year-old caught fire by carding birdies the rest of the way home except the par-five 14th for a seven-under 65."I've got a lot of experience and I feel very comfortable around the guys and around the courses," he said.Stallings got off to a birdie/bogey start but was error free the rest of the way, capping his round with back-to-back birdies to join fellow American Redman atop the leaderboard.

Lurking one back on six-under 66 are seven players, including Bryson DeChambeau, who had a rollercoaster round that included an eagle, eight birdies and four bogeys."There was obviously a lot of highs and a lot of lows," said the 26-year-old American, who has been crushing balls since adding muscle during the PGA Tour's three-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Rickie Fowler headlines a group two behind at five-under, while World No 6 Webb Simpson, the highest-ranked player in the field, returned a four-under 68 to sit three off the pace.
