Rocket Recap: Michael Thorbjornsen won from off the radar, and Davis Riley finished 3rd after everyone had him buried near the bottom, while consensus darling Wyndham Clark missed the cut entirely. Even so, Andy graded out as the most accurate of the group at a 35.01 MAE, nipping Ryan Noonan by a whisker and topping the field again on the top-20 contenders.
