Sleeper Picks for the Rocket Mortgage Classic

06/25/2024

The Rocket Mortgage Classic is this upcoming weekend and it's a pretty strong tournament. Rickie Fowler is the defending champ, but there was already a whole new list of favorites for the upcoming weekend. To see those, click Favorites for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. In this article though, we will be going over some of the sleeper picks for this tournament.

Nick Dunlap

Nick Dunlap could do very good this weekend in Detroit. He's currently 69th in OWGR and 93rd in FedEx Cup points and with already a win on his belt as just a 20 year old, he has the potential to finish top-10 at this tournament. He also has 10/18 cuts made, so there is a strong chance that he will make the cut this week as it is seen as a weaker field.

Nicolai Højgaard

Nicolai Højgaard has done farely well so far this season, with making the cut at every single major tournament so far and even getting T-16 at The Masters. He also got runner-up at the Farmers Insurance Open only losing to Matthieu Pavon. Now, Højgaard can come into an easier course like this one and light the place up, just like how he's been doing all year.

Adam Svennson

In 20 events this year, Svennson has 15 cuts made, three top 25 and a top-10. He's on a streak right now as he hasn't had a missed cut since March 17 at THE PLAYERS Championship, and had a T-16 at the Travelers Championship and a T-10 at the Genesis Invitational. We all know this guy can win this week, it's just a matter on how much he wants it.
