In Charlotte, PGA TOUR standout Cameron Young captures attention with a blazing performance at Quail Hollow, carding a stunning 8-under 63. This leaves him just two shots behind leader Alex Fitzpatrick at the Truist Championship.
Fitzpatrick, newly minted on the PGA TOUR, leads at 14-under 199, narrowly ahead of Kristoffer Reitan from Norway, who sits one shot behind.
Having won the Cadillac Championship decisively, Young nearly matched Rory McIlroy's 2015 course record but closed with a single bogey, despite an exciting 43-foot putt from off the green on No. 16.
Young's play included an exceptional eagle on No. 7, setting up a surge of six birdies over nine holes. After a slip on the 17th and 18th, Young remains in striking distance.
Alex Fitzpatrick, with elder brother Matt's support, recovered from his sole bogey. Reitan capitalized on late momentum to surge within reach.
Elsewhere, Sungjae Im and other key players struggled to maintain their standing, while Rory McIlroy fell 13 shots adrift.
