Rickie Fowler came home with a wet sail at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Saturday, birdieing six of his last eight holes to take the lead in Detroit.<\/p>\n

The American picked up three shots on the front nine but a bogey after the turn threatened to derail his round.<\/p>\n

He righted the ship quickly however, his late flurry propelling him to 20-under par and a one stroke lead ahead of Adam Hadwin.<\/p>\n

Speaking after his round, Fowler said: \u201cWhether it happens (Sunday) or not, it\u2019s going to happen here soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been playing a lot of really good golf and been putting myself in good positions.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis definitely won\u2019t be the last.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

Fowler is tied with Wyndham Clark for the most 54-hole leads\/co-leads on Tour this season (3) and is 2-for-10 with the 54-hole lead\/co-lead in his Tour career (victories: 2017 Honda Classic, 2019 WM Phoenix Open).<\/p>\n
