Young, Cantlay and Fishburn Share Lead After Course-Record 61s Shake Up Rocket Classic

The three-way tie at 10 under reshapes late-season FedEx Cup positioning as Rocket Companies ends its Detroit sponsorship.

Overview

  • Cameron Young shot a 9-under 61 on Friday to tie Detroit Golf Club’s lowest single-round score and vault to 10 under, joining Patrick Cantlay and Patrick Fishburn atop the leaderboard.
  • Peter Malnati opened with a matching 61 on Thursday but fell back with a 1-over 71 in Round 2 and sits at 8 under.
  • Matt Kuchar recorded a hole-in-one on the par-3 5th and invited a young fan to retrieve the ball, signing it before giving it away.
  • The projected cut after two rounds is 3 under, a mark that left several notable players on the outside of weekend play including Chris Gotterup, Wyndham Clark and defending champion Aldrich Potgieter.
  • Detroit Golf Club’s multi-million-dollar renovation has shortened the course to a par 70 and the event’s final Rocket-sponsored year adds significance as the PGA Tour confirmed a move to Napa for 2027.
