Here\u2019s a look at the initial field list for the PGA Tour\u2019s Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.<\/p>\n
Rocket Classic first-round leader <\/p>\n
Going to rinse and repeat a bit here and give one from the favorites list and a second player who should only be wagered upon with the smallest of allotments. <\/p>\n
Akshay Bhatia at +5500 to be FRL is a good bet, even if his first-round scoring average doesn\u2019t necessarily jump off the page. You know what does? Bhatia\u2019s 64 on Thursday two years ago at this very course! Additionally, he is coming off a missed cut at The Open earlier this month so we\u2019re thinking he\u2019ll be a bit under the radar amongst bettors \u2014 especially those only narrowly looking at his disappointing finishes at majors in 2026. <\/p>\n
And now to our fun play alert: Taylor Pendrith at +10000 to lead after Thursday is our favorite triple-digit recommendation this week. Like Bhata, the Canadian has runner-up experience here \u2014coming up just short in 2022. He\u2019s also coming in overlooked after a missed cut at TPC Twin Cities. Pendrith is 82nd in FedEx points so there\u2019s motivation for a stronger start at Detroit Golf Club, and we\u2019re betting on seeing just that Thursday.<\/p>\n
Rocket Classic best<\/p>\n
Chandler Phillips to T-10 is +1200, just have to get that filed and put on record after a T-3 last week at the 3M, as well as a T-13 in Detroit last year.<\/p>\n
Now that the straight forward play is out of the way, let\u2019s get a little creative here. We\u2019re going with four players to finish T-30 (including ties): Wyndham Clark (-170), Russell Henley (-168), Patrick Cantlay (-166) and Rickie Fowler (-102). Parlayed together that yields a nice, clean +700 return. <\/p>\n
