Cam Davis is climbing the rankings every day. On Saturday, he shot a 6-under 66 to move up four spots into a tie for third place. The 2021 Rocket champion knows what it takes to finish strong at Detroit Golf Club. He started strong Saturday with birdies on the first, second, fourth and seventh holes. He only had two birdies on the back nine, closing out with a birdie on the 18th hole, where he put the ball within seven and a half feet of the pin in two strokes.
That put him in a tie with “the other Cameron,” Cameron Young, who shot a five-under 67 on Saturday. Young was a bit shaky on the first nine holes, bogeying the par-5 fifth hole and taking some of the momentum from birdies on the first, sixth and seventh holes. But he was strong down the stretch, birdieing three of four holes from the 14th through the 17th. He got off to a great start on the par-5 14th hole, which put him in third place alone. Young hit a 306-yard shot down the right side of the fairway, staying just above the bunker, then took two strokes from 251 yards to reach the green. But the long putt fell short, leaving him with only two-and-a-half feet to putt for birdie.
If Young can put together a few great holes in a row, like he did when he was runner-up in 2022, he could be a big threat to Bhatia and Rai again.
