Golf: Redman, Stallings and Kisner share one-shot lead at Rocket Mortgage Classic

Doc Redman took a step toward remaining among those to make the cut in every event since the PGA Tour resumed, opening with a 7-under 65 to share the early lead Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Redman closed with four straight birdies and seven over the last eight holes. Scott Stallings birdied his last two holes. They had a one-shot lead among early starters over Peter Malnati, Emiliano Grillo and Chase Seiffert. Rickie Fowler, who has missed the cut in the two tournaments he has played since the restart, was among those at 67. Redman went from being a Monday qualifier last year at the Detroit Golf Club to finishing second at the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic. He is hoping to take the next step on Sunday with his first PGA Tour victory. Bryson DeChambeau, who was among the players with afternoon tee times, joins Redman, Lucas Glover, Tyler Duncan, Viktor Hovland, Mark Hubbard and Brian Stuard who have made the cut in all three events since the PGA Tour returned from the COVID-19 shutdown. At last week's Travelers Championship, Redman closed with a 63 to tie for 11th - his best performance this season - after tying for 21st the RBC Heritage.
