Aaron Rai and Akshay Bhatia are currently tied for the lead in the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit with a score of 17 under. Rai, a 29-year-old from England, shot a four-under-par 68 on Saturday to secure his position at the top of the leaderboard. Bhatia, an American, also shot a 68 in the third round to join Rai in the lead.
Rai, who has two career wins on the DP World Tour, will be looking to maintain his form in the final round to secure a victory. However, the competition is close with players like Cameron Davis and Cameron Young just one shot behind at 16 under. The top nine players are within three strokes of each other, setting the stage for an exciting finish to the tournament.
Other notable players include Sam Stevens from America and Erik van Rooyen from South Africa, who are both within striking distance of the lead. Additionally, amateur Luke Clanton made a strong showing with a seven-under-par 65 to stay in contention heading into the final round. The tournament is shaping up to be a competitive battle among the top players on the leaderboard.
