Detroit-Taylor Pendrith from Canada fired a 75 under 65 on Friday to take a single shot over Tony Finau at the weekend in the rocket mortgage classic. Pendrith and Finau shared the first round advantage at 8 Under and will be in the final group on Saturday, matching a 31 -year -old PGA Tour's rookie with a 32 -year -old veteran who comes from his third victory in his career. The rookie Lee Hodges was three shots. The leader of the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, Cameron Young, tied a Detroit Golf Club record with a 63 for a part of the fourth place, five shots ago, with Russell Henley and Stewart Cink. The rookie Sahith Theegala was another shot in a package that includes defending Fedexcup champion, Patrick Cantlay, who recovered from a 70 opening with a 65. Davis Love III, the captain of the Cup of the presidents of the United States of 58 years, was in Detroit partly to play and, more importantly, to know the players better inside and outside the course that can represent the country In September in Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.

He had to birdie his hole 36 to reach 3 under, the cutting line, with a couple of dull rounds. If Young does not win an automatic place in the American team, he could be an choice of the captain. "Cameron is in a trend," said Love. “Go back to Jordan Spieth. No one listened to him and the next thing you know in a year is in the president of the Cup Presidents, and Cam also went that way. No one listened to him at the Ferry Korn and here is, he almost won a specialty. " Young had a finalist in the open championship and in the PGA championship, he lost a tiebreaker for a shot. He has four results of the second place and was third in two tournaments. And in Detroit, Young showed love closely what he can do. "I hope I have done some type of case," he said. Pendrith is playing in his third tournament after being out for almost four months with a broken rib, a break that he reminded him of his youth. "We have a long long season in Canada, so I didn't touch a club all the winter, basically growing, so I guess I'm a little accustomed to a wa
