The fourth and final round of the 2026 Rocket Classic gets underway on Sunday at Detroit Golf Club in Detroit, Michigan.

Davis Riley holds a one-stroke lead over the rest of the field at 15-under par. With one day remaining, this tournament remains wide open.

Here are my picks and Rocket Classic Round 4 best bets.

Rocket Classic Round 4 Best Bets

Ryan Gerard Top-20 (-112 at DraftKings)

Ryan Gerard is already in the green in this market, sitting T17 at 9-under par. At -112, he is worth backing to maintain that pace on Sunday.

Detroit Golf Club is a bomber’s course. Stretching nearly 7,400 yards with relatively few penalties for missed fairways, this venue allows golfers to grip and rip.

Last year, each of the top five finishers ranked inside the top five in the field in strokes gained: off the tee. No other strokes-gained category showed the same trend.

This setup makes Gerard a strong target in this market.

Entering this week, he ranks in the 87th percentile in strokes gained: off the tee and in the 61st percentile in driving distance. Gerard is coming off his T9 finish at The Open Championship, and another strong finish is likely this week in Michigan.


Rico Hoey Top-20 (+138 at DraftKings)

Another golfer worth targeting in this market is Rico Hoey. Producing an equally strong start to the tournament, Hoey is also T17 entering Sunday.

At +138, it's also worth taking a shot on Hoey to maintain this momentum on Sunday.

Like Gerard, Hoey fits this course well.

This season, he ranks in the 82nd percentile in strokes gained: off the tee and in the 73rd percentile in driving distance. A well-rounded golfer, Hoey's primary weakness is his scrambling around the green.

However, that is not a major concern at Detroit Golf Club, where greens are relatively easy to hit, and past winners have not needed to rely heavily on scrambling.
