The Rocket's a wrap: Check out The News' complete coverage of the 2021 RMC in Detroit
Detroit — The Rocket Mortgage Classic was back in town last week, for the third year, led by heavy hitters like defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson.

Here's a look back at the week that was, with drama on and off the course — and some holiday overtime.
