DETROIT — There was a better than decent chance Peter Kuest could have been spending Thursday fishing.
Instead of baiting a hook, however, Kuest found himself leading the Rocket Mortgage Classic after firing an 8-under 64 in the first round at Detroit Golf Club, joined late in the day by Taylor Moore, who matched Kuest's 64 with five birdies on the back nine. The leaders enjoyed a one-shot cushion over a pack of seven golfers and two better than a group that included World No. 20 Collin Morikawa.
Kuest's round was especially impressive for a guy who qualified for the tournament on Monday and is playing in just his fourth PGA Tour event this season.
