Aldrich Potgieter and Kevin Roy fired course-record 62s at Detroit Golf Club on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the US PGA Tour Rocket Classic.

Roy, a 35-year-old American chasing a first PGA Tour title, followed his eagle at the 17th with his eighth birdie of the day to be the first in the clubhouse on IO-under.

Less than 10 minutes later South Africa's Potgieter put the finishing touches on a round that also included an eagle and eight birdies.

Potgieter and Roy both broke the previous course record of 63 -- matched Thursday by Australian Min Woo Lee and Americans Max Greyserman and Mark Hubbard.
