Young Shatters Course Record at Rocket Classic | Detroit News

Cameron Young lit up the Rocket Classic with a jaw-dropping 61, tying the course record and storming into a tie for the lead at 10 under with Patrick Cantlay and Patrick Fishburn—just shy of matching Jim Furyk’s legendary 58. Young’s blistering start included seven birdies in his first eight holes and even flirted with a record-breaking 55. Despite missing chances to break Furyk’s mark, he’s already proven himself elite this season with his 59 at the Travelers Championship—and now stands as one of only two players ever to shoot multiple rounds under 60. Meanwhile, Matt Wallace and Rickie Fowler lurk just two shots back, with Fowler briefly holding the lead before bogeys derailed him—but he closed strong with an 18th-hole birdie. Peter Malnati, who led after day one, slipped back after a 71, while Xander Schauffele, Hideki Matsuyama (now at 30 straight cuts), and Tony Finau jostle for position. Matt Kuchar added drama with his seventh career ace on the fifth hole—and even invited a young fan to retrieve it. With this being the final year of the Rocket Classic, the field is stacked, though stars like Wyndham Clark and Chris Gotterup missed the cut.
