4 years agoErik Van Rooyen did not participate in the Travelers Championship in Connecticut this past week, but his performance the week before at the RBC Heritage has him in good form heading to the Rocket Mortgage Classic. EVR gained strokes in every category, including an impressive 4.2 strokes off the tee, on his way to a T21 finish at Harbour Town. The South African should have a chance to finish strong in a much weaker field at Detroit Golf Club in what will be his first appearance at the event. There should be plenty of birdies going around in this event, so Van Rooyen will need his putter to get hot at some point, similar to when he gained over four strokes on the greens and placed third at the WGC-Mexico in February before the PGA Tour took a break.--Tommy Bell
