Cameron Young eyes win at revamped Detroit Rocket Classic
Cameron Young, 29, ranked No. 3 in both the FedExCup standings and the Official World Golf Ranking, took a week off after finishing runner‑up at the Open Championship. He said he will play the Rocket Classic in Detroit, then the Wyndham event next week and aims to finish the season in the playoffs.
The Rocket Classic will be held on the North Course of Detroit Golf Club, which recently completed a $16 million renovation. The redesign shifted the layout from a par‑72 to a par‑70, extending it to 7,328 yards, added deeper bunkers and converted holes 7 and 17 from par‑5s into long par‑4s.
Young has a strong recent record, including a tie for third at the Masters and wins at The Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship. He also recalled previous good memories at the Rocket Classic, having finished second in his first appearance and sixth the following year.
