DETROIT — Here's a quick look at Saturday's third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club:
Round 3 recap
Here we go. Rickie Fowler, by far the most popular golfer in Detroit since the city landed the Rocket Mortgage Classic, will head into Sunday as the sole leader, at 20 under, after reeling off birdies on six of his final eight holes for a third-round, 8-under 64. Fowler was playing steady through the front nine, then hooked his tee shot so far left on the par-4 10th, he had to take an unplayable lie. He still salvaged bogey, then birdied the par-3 11th, the toughest hole on the course, and it was off to the races. He enters Sunday's early tee times — pushed up because of anticipated bad weather — one stroke ahead of Adam Hadwin (course-record 63) and two clear of Taylor Pendrith.
