The tournament has a cutline after 36 holes, but Young struggled to qualify for the weekend round. He was playing at 2-over, the cutline for the Major, on the 15th hole during the second round of the event on Friday, April 11. But on par-3 16th, he had a tough time on the greens.

He was close to making a par on the hole but had a terrible time. After two shots, his tee ball was pretty close to the hole. But he struggled on the green and ended up taking six strokes in total on the par-3 hole, for a triple bogey. With that, his score moved to 5-over, below the cutline.

Cameron Young's struggle did not stop there as on the 17th, he made a bogey followed by another on the 18th. He wrapped up with an overall score of 7-over, missing the cut in the Major.
