Cam Young fires 61 at Rocket Classic but rues missed eagle chance

Cam Young followed his Open Championship runner-up with a scintillating 61 in the second round of the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club, carding nine birdies and nine pars. He lamented a left-drive on his 17th hole (the par-4 eighth) that spoiled an eagle chance, though he still birdied the hole. He said most holes felt like birdie opportunities, but his putter cooled on the back nine. With Friday’s form, he’s positioned to contend for a fourth PGA Tour win this season.
