Sun Jun 29 18:10:00 UTC 2025: **Knapp’s Historic Round Shakes Up Rocket Classic**
**DETROIT** – Jake Knapp delivered a stunning performance at the Detroit Golf Club on Friday, firing an 11-under 61 to shatter the course record at the Rocket Classic. This follows the previous day’s record of 10-under shared by Kevin Roy and Aldrich Potgieter, previously the best score was 9-under.
Knapp’s spectacular round propelled him from 130th place to contention. Despite a slow start on Thursday with an even-par 72, Knapp unleashed a barrage of birdies on Friday, briefly eyeing a potential 59.
“I’m definitely not afraid of shooting a low number,” Knapp said. “I feel like when I start making birdies, I want to make more.”
This is not the first time Knapp has made history. Earlier this year, he carded a 59 at the Cognizant Classic, one of only 15 sub-60 rounds in PGA Tour history.
While Knapp’s 2024 season has been solid, he’s hoping to secure his second career win at the Rocket Classic, solidifying his position as a rising star on the PGA Tour.
