Rocket Mortgage Classic Tee Times - Round Three

Going into the weekend of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, it's Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai who sit at the top of the leaderboard, with both men at 13-under-par, two clear of a number of names.

Bhatia has enjoyed an excellent run of form in 2024, securing a second PGA Tour win at the Valero Texas Open, with the 22-year-old also earning a top 10 result at the Travelers Championship.

Rai, on the other hand, is yet to win on the PGA Tour circuit, but has been one of the more consistent performers in 2024, missing just four cuts in 17 events, with the Englishman carding seven top 25s in that time period.

The pair start two shots clear of the likes of Cameron Young, who became the 13th player in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59 at last week's Travelers Championship. He sits in a four-way tie for third, whilst 26 players sit within five of the leaders.

Due to expected inclement weather, Saturday’s third-round tee times at the Rocket Mortgage Classic will be slightly earlier than expected, with a two-tee start in play, as the leaders tee off at 1pm local time (EDT).
