‘I wanted to just stay at home’: PGA Tour leader details recent struggles

Davis Riley, a 29-year-old two-time PGA Tour winner, holds a one-shot lead over Michael Brennan heading into the final round of the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club after firing a seven-under 63 on Saturday. Riley has struggled throughout the 2026 season, missing cuts in half his tournaments and recording just one top-10 finish — a T6 at the Sony Open in January — leaving him mentally drained and questioning his motivation. A two-time Tour winner at the 2024 Charles Schwab Challenge and the 2023 Zurich Classic, Riley is now seeking his third PGA Tour victory.
