I know I will be rooting for him Sunday afternoon.Ĭopyright 2019 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit - All rights reserved. You may have never heard his name, but he is certainly worthy of winning his first PGA tournament. He’s 23-under for the tournament and he has a six-stroke lead heading into Sunday. Lashley has golfed two rounds of 63 and one round of 67 at Detroit Golf Club. BUT… as the third alternate, he got the call to play and accepted when some others dropped out. He almost didn’t golf in this tournament. Monday, he went to the qualifier for the Rocket Mortgage Classic and didn’t qualify. He fought to get himself on the tour at 35. He got into real estate and almost didn’t look back. Understandably, Lashley had to walk away from golf.
The plane crashed, and all three were killed. In 2004, his parents, Rod and Char, and his girlfriend, Leslie Hofmeister, were flying back from Oregon after watching one of his NCAA tournaments.

Look for the 313 patch on his arm Sunday. Tony Finau tees for the par-3 9th hole, his final hole after starting on No. He’s from California, but he’s wearing Greyson clothing, a brand founded by a metro Detroiter.

The 32-year-old loves the Kansas City Royals and he wears royal blue on Sundays because of it.

I would argue, once you look up the names on the leaderboard, you might find some great backgrounds and stories. We'll get a glimpse on Saturday in Round 3 of the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic. It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when we all didn’t know a guy by the name of Tiger Woods either.
