The final edition of the Rocket Cl<\/a>assic concludes Sunday at Detroit Golf Club, and there will be no shortage of drama in the Motor City. <\/p>\n

Davis Riley enters the final round with a one-shot lead<\/a> over Michael Brennan and a three-shot lead over a pack of challengers that includes Rickie Fowler and Cameron Young. <\/p>\n

It has been a difficult year for Riley. He has made just 10 of 20 cuts and has just one top-10 finish, which came in the season-opening event in Hawaii at the Sony Open. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough season to say the least,\u201d Riley said on Saturday. \u201cBut it\u2019s funny, I was in the last \u2014 the last time I was in the last group of a tournament was in Hawaii, and it\u2019s all the way at the end of the season, so there\u2019s been a lot of average golf in between. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just super excited for the opportunity tomorrow. Grateful. There\u2019s been a lot of ups and downs. I\u2019m just excited that I\u2019ve started to put the things together and have a chance tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riley will have to fold off Fowler, Young and other notable pros looking to go low to steal the trophy and $1.8 million winner\u2019s check on Sunday. If he can do that, he\u2019ll secure his third-career win and be able to exhale after a difficult season on the course. <\/p>\n

The Rocket Classic purse is $10 million, with $1.8 million going to the champion. You can check out the entire payout breakdown below.<\/p>\n
