Cameron Young 'excited' for a chance to chase victory at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic - "I haven't had that many this year"

The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic is heading into the final day with two joint leaders. After carding a total score of -17, Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai find themselves atop the leaderboard. However, right behind them is Cameron Young, sitting one shot behind and in contention to pick up victory this weekend.

Young currently shares T3 with Cameron Davis and is looking forward to picking up a win at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Cameron Young has had a lackluster year so far, finding himself in contention only a few times. His second-place finish at the 2024 Valspar Championship has been the highlight of his season.

Now, Young is under pressure to produce a victory at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Speaking after the third round via the PGA Tour, he said:

“I feel like I've been playing well and I'm just excited to have a chance to win. I haven't had that many this year, so I feel like my game's in a good spot and mentally I’m in a really nice place, so I’m just excited to come out and play.”

Cameron Young shot a 5 under 67 during the third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, making 6 birdies and one bogey.
