Knowles Soars with Eagles to Share PGA Detroit Lead

On June 28, 2025, Chris Kirk, Philip Knowles, and Andrew Putnam were tied for the top position after two rounds of the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
Knowles regained form after missing five straight cuts by eagling three of four par fives en route to a 64 and 14-under total.
Kirk fired a 65 starting with three straight birdies while Putnam carded a bogey-free 66 under tougher conditions to join the lead.
Knowles expressed that successfully chipping in for eagle three times is something he doubts will happen again, while Putnam remarked that his round didn’t feel completely bogey-free.
The three Americans lead a competitive field into the weekend, suggesting an intense fight for the title at the relatively easy Detroit Golf Club.
