Two former Spartans fail to make the cut at the 2025 Rocket Classic
Two former Michigan State golfers had high hopes for their time at their hometown PGA Tour event, the Rocket Classic, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Ryan Brehm, a longtime PGA Tour veteran, and Ashton McCulloch, an amateur on the tour, both failed to make the cut at Detroit's PGA Tour event at the Detroit Golf Club.
For Brehm, things were looking promising. After a one-under round on Thursday, he was four-under in his second round on Friday. A terrible finish ensued for Brehm, though, who ended the day even par.
McCulloch had a week to forget. A six-over round on Thursday was parlayed with a two-over Friday round, making him eight-over on the tournament.
Both former Spartans will not see the weekend in Detroit.

The two then stepped closer to each other and continued to argue, and Harrington was heard telling Maltbie, 'You've played golf all your life. You understand.' At one point during the argument, Maltbie says, 'I'm not a player,' to Harrington.

He is definitely a partner I would choose to play with.' Cink, who is playing in his first U.S. Senior Open, hit all 18 greens in regulation on Friday, a stat that he has called overrated. 'You don't want to be chipping downhill on this course, it's not a secret,' said the 52-year-old Cink.
