Cameron Young birdied seven out of nine holes during the middle of Friday's second round in Atlanta, charging up the Tour Championship leaderboard a day removed after being tied in last place.
He eagled at par-5 18th to complete an 8-under 62 and temporarily catch first round leader Min Woo Lee, who completed his first hole a few minutes before Young's day ended.
It was a remarkable turn of event for Young, who was just three players in the field to card an opening round 70. He bogeyed three of his first five holes and never recovered Thursday, despite a Round 1 scoring average that dipped below 67.
The difference a day makes.
Round 2 was the complete opposite for the 2026 Players champ, who was the first player off the tee and posted a 30 on his front nine behind a string of three straight birdies from holes Nos. 4 through 6.
