The posted first-round lineup includes groups beginning in the morning, with players such as Brendon Todd, Lanto Griffin and Eric Cole listed together in one of the early tee times. Another early group features Emiliano Grillo and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, according to the released schedule.
As the Rocket Classic gets under way, the tee sheet sets the stage for the opening round and gives a first look at how the field will be grouped for Thursday play in Detroit. With a deep lineup and the event’s final edition on the calendar, the first round is expected to draw significant interest.
