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.

Former MSU golfer Ryan Brehm has rollercoaster first round at Rocket Classic
With the PGA Tour returning for their annual trip to Detroit, the seventh edition of the Rocket Classic began on Thursday at the Detroit Golf Club. Former Spartan Ryan Brehm, a 2008 Michigan State graduate, has been a mainstay on the PGA Tour, and he made another start in Detroit. The Mt. Pleasant (MI) native, Brehm is looking to get his 2025 summer off of the ground, and is looking towards his hometown PGA Tour event to do so. On Thursday, it was an up and down affair for Brehm, who ultimately finished at a 71 (-1). At one point, late in the first round, Brehm was sitting at a very comfortable -3, but back to back bogeys to finish his round left a sour taste in his mouth. While he is a few shoots off of the number to make the weekend, he is still very much in the mix for making his first cut of 2025, but is in need for a big day on Friday. He will tee off at 7:07 a.m. on the first tee, looking for a big day to make the weekend.

Three Spartans listed in the field for the 2025 Rocket Mortgage Classic
Starting on Thursday, the PGA Tour is returning to Detroit, for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club. This will be the seventh edition of the tournament in Detroit, the PGA Tour's return to Michigan. For the event coming to Detroit, the Spartans are going to be nicely represented, with there being a trio of players from the Michigan State golf program set to play in the event. Ryan Brehm, a long time PGA Tour veteran, and a 2008 graduate of Michigan State that helped lead MSU to three Big Ten Championships, will be the Spartans headliner in the event. The one-time PGA Tour winner, and Mt. Pleasant native, will look to tally his second win while in Detroit. James Piot will also make his return to the PGA Tour. The 2021 US Amateur Champion and a 2021 MSU graduate, Piot played in the Masters Tournament and the US Open with his amateur status after winning the 2021 US Am. After turning pro, he played on the LIV Golf Tour for a year. He has joined the field as an unrestricted sponsors exemption. Ashton McCulloch is the final Spartan in the field. A 2025 graduate, McCulloch still has his amateur status, and will be making his fourth start on the PGA Tour. It is expected that he will likely turn pro following this event, where he got in with a sponsors exemption.
