Cameron Young Shares 2nd-Round Lead at Rocket Classic After Cooling Off to Shoot 9-Under 61
Young’s bogey-free 61 matched the course record and gave him a 10-under lead over a star-heavy field at the Rocket Classic.
- On Friday, July 31, Cameron Young carded a course-record-tying 61 at Detroit Golf Club to reach 10-under and share the 2026 Rocket Classic lead with Patrick Cantlay.
- After a 1-under Thursday round, Young rebounded Friday, crediting the $16.1 million renovation for making the course 'far more dramatic' with expanded greens and added bunkers.
- Firing a first-nine 28 with six consecutive birdies, the 29-year-old played bogey-free, narrowly missing a 17-footer on the final hole that would have secured a 60.
- Patrick Cantlay matched Young's 10-under pace, while Rickie Fowler remained in contention and first-round leader Peter Malnati struggled after his Thursday 61.
- This final edition of the Rocket Classic serves as a critical stop for players aiming to bolster FedEx Cup standings before next month's playoffs, with Young seeking his third win this season.
