Jack Mirko Jack Mirko has been playing golf since he was 5 years old. Though he hasn’t yet scored a goal, he’s earning a master’s degree in sports journalism from St. Bonaventure University. After three weeks of continuous actions in the memorial, US Open and the PGA Tour travelers go to the Middle West for Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Ricky Fowler prevailed in playoffs because of Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikava a year ago, while the three players finished at 24 mm-mm. Expect the Donald Ross-designed Birdie Volleyball, which PGA Tour pros attack every year, to return to the Detroit Golf Club this year.

Since the tournament began in 2019, winners have averaged 23.2 strokes under par, and only one player has finished 20 under par or better: Cameron Davis, who won a playoff at 18 under par in 2021. Like TPC River Highlands in Connecticut, this golf course will challenge the hitter, but unlike what we saw at the Travelers Championship, this course doesn’t have many secondary obstacles or penalty areas. The Bomber can use his length to create better opportunities and bomb without hesitation to destroy property, which helps explain why Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau and Davis have all won here. But this event ultimately comes down to putting. You have to hit the ball well to get a low score, and whoever can do that consistently over four days will win in Detroit.
But I like the fact that he’s playing even better this week. Thorbjornsen exudes confidence, just like Ludvig Åberg did this time a year ago. If you recall, Oberg played alongside Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald in last year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic. The young Sweden was impressed to the European captain, as Donald compared him with the young Rolly Mciloy. Of course, a few months later, Donald chose åberg to participate in the team. This is a stunning testimony of the top 10 in the world. Of course, that doesn’t mean Thorbjornsen will have the same experience, but he has tremendous talent, he can hit the ball a mile and has a great short game. This is why we think he will enter the top 10 for the first time as a pro, and at +500.
