Akshay Bhatia leads the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club with a 13-under total after two rounds, highlighted by a bizarre incident where his ball landed in a drain on the par-5 17th hole. Bhatia, who shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 in the second round, was granted a free drop and managed to save par, maintaining his lead. He is tied with Aaron Rai, who shot 65 in the second round. Other notable players close behind include Taylor Montgomery, Troy Merritt, Erik van Rooyen, and Cameron Young. Bhatia, who turned pro at 17, is seeking his third PGA Tour victory.
