Syndication: Detroit Free PressPGA Tour pro Chris Kirk reads his line during the second round of the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit on Friday, June 27, 2025.

Chris Kirk, Philip Knowles and Andrew Putnam share the lead after two rounds of the Rocket Classic, while the course record fell for the second straight day Friday at Detroit Golf Club.

Kirk posted a 65 Friday, Knowles a 64 and Putnam a 66. They sit at 14-under-par 130 halfway through the tournament, one shot clear of Jackson Suber (65).

Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa (70) and Mark Hubbard (69) are tied for fifth at 12 under.

Meanwhile, Jake Knapp shot 123 spots up the leaderboard by following an even-par 72 with an 11-under 61. One day after Potgieter and Kevin Roy posted rounds of 62 to break the course record, Knapp took it for himself by making nine birdies and one eagle in a bogey-free round.

Knapp is one of 14 players tied at 11 under, a logjam that also includes Roy (71), Ben Griffin (67), Gary Woodland (66) and Hideki Matsuyama (66).

Scoring conditions in Detroit were so favorable for the first two days that the projected cut as of 5:30 p.m. was 6 under par. Wyndham Clark (4 under), Max Homa (3 under), South Korea’s Tom Kim (1 under), defending champion Cam Davis of Australia (even par) and 2023 champ Rickie Fowler (1 under, two holes to play) were all on the wrong side of the cut line.

Wilder stops Herndon to claim first win since 2022 – who is next?

Deontay Wilder made a winning return to the ring and claimed his first victory since 2022 after completing a dominant seventh-round TKO of Tyrrell Herndon in Kansas.Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) had been beaten in four of his previous five encounters, including back-to-back losses against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, although he ended that run at the Charles Koch Arena. 'The Bronze Bomber' scored an unconvincing knockdown in the second when an off-balance Herndon was caught by a left hook, with Wilder on top in the early rounds despite not hurting his opponent with his scoring shots.

2025 MLB Mock Draft: Kade Anderson jumps into No. 1 spot, Ethan Holliday remains in top 5

The 2025 MLB Draft is a little over two weeks away. Four years ago, MLB pushed the draft back from the first week of June to the All-Star break in an effort to better market the event, and it will remain there moving forward, even though many executives don't like it. The two-day draft begins Sunday, July 13, this year. This is the third year of MLB's draft lottery system. In the past, the draft order was the reverse order of the previous year's standings, which was nice and easy. Now picks 1-6 are assigned via lottery, picks 7-18 are the remaining non-postseason teams in the reverse order of the previous year's standings, and picks 19-30 are postseason teams in order of their playoff finish. At 71-91, the Nationals had baseball's sixth-worst record last season, yet Washington won the lottery […]
