GOLF.com: Cameron Young Fires 61 to Share Lead at 2026 Rocket Classic — Round 3 Tee Times

Source: GOLF.com·Aug 1, 2026·📖 Read original

Cameron Young is making a compelling case for another PGA Tour victory as the 2026 regular season winds down. At the Rocket Classic held at Detroit Golf Club, Young posted a stunning 9-under 61 in Round 2 to reach 10-under par and share the lead heading into the weekend.

Young's 2026 Season So Far

Young has already claimed two wins this season — at the Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship — and finished solo second at The Open Championship just two weeks ago. A victory at the Rocket Classic would give him three wins and a memorable close to the regular season.

Round 2 Highlights

Young was on fire from the start, going seven-under through his first eight holes before signing for a 61. He'll tee off for Round 3 at 1:50 p.m. ET Saturday alongside Patrick Cantlay. Rickie Fowler sits T4, one shot back, making the weekend a must-watch.

TV & Streaming

Round 3 airs on Golf Channel (1–3 p.m. ET) then CBS (3–6 p.m. ET). PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ streams coverage from 7:30 a.m. ET.

Strokeslab Take

From a Strokes Gained perspective, going seven-under in eight holes points to dominant SG: Approach and SG: Putting in tandem — the combination that separates week-winners from contenders. With FedEx Cup Playoffs looming, Young's timing looks impeccable.

💬Strokeslab コメント

Young co-leading with a 61 after already winning twice this season is a textbook example of peak-timing — his SG data almost certainly shows elite approach and putting numbers converging at exactly the right moment before the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
