Open Extended ReactionsDETROIT -- Jake Knapp shot an 11-under 61 to break a Rocket Classic record that stood for less than a day, becoming the first PGA Tour player to break 60 and shoot a 61 or lower in the same season. Knapp started the second round 130th in the 156-player field after opening with a 72. 99 in the world, is the only player on the tour to shoot 61 or better in two rounds this season. He shot a 59 -- one off the tour scoring record of 58 set by Jim Furyk in 2016 -- at the Cognizant Classic four months ago, when he broke the tournament scoring record before cooling off and finishing tied for sixth. Knapp broke the 18-hole record at Detroit Golf Club that was set Thursday in the first round when Aldrich Potgieter and Kevin Roy both shot a 62.
