As a paid spokesperson for Rocket Mortgage, Rickie Fowler has been plenty busy leading into the opening round of this week's event at Detroit Golf Club. He assisted in charitable and philanthropic endeavors, toured downtown Detroit, Michigan, and played in the pro-am with Kid Rock.

But Thursday, it was game time at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and he showed no signs of fatigue.

Beginning on the back nine, Fowler took advantage of the two par 5s. He made his first birdie of the day a the par-5 14th and then holed this approach shot for eagle at the par-5 17th.

Fowler turned in 3-under 33, one off the early lead.
