In his 20th start on the PGA Tour, 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter found his way into the winner's circle at the 2025 Rocket Classic. The young South African fended off a crowded leaderboard at Detroit Golf Club to snag his first trophy in the big leagues as he finished the tournament at 22 under before he made birdie on the fifth playoff hole to defeat 40-year-old Chris Kirk and playing partner Max Greyserman.

As a grueling playoff unfolded in the Rocket Classic, South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter was determined to have enough pace on what became the final putt Sunday.
