Youth leads in the weather-affected PGA Wyndham Championship tournament
In the final regular-season event before the FedEx Cup playoffs, Cameron Young is making a strong statement at the Wyndham Championship. The PGA Tour professional is currently leading the tournament with a score of 14-under par, setting a formidable pace at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Young's impressive round on Friday included an astonishing seven-under 63, featuring eight birdies. This outstanding performance has put him one stroke ahead of the defending champion, Aaron Rai, who is currently 13-under with just five holes left to play in the tournament.
The tournament has not been without its challenges, as thunderstorms caused play to be halted for a second time on Friday afternoon. Despite the delay, Rai views this as an opportunity to reset and refresh for the next day. He is hoping the tournament will get back on schedule quickly when play resumes on Saturday.
The Wyndham Championship offers significant FedExCup points and prize money, making it a crucial event on the PGA Tour schedule. The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings will advance to the playoffs, which will begin with the St. Jude Championship next week.
Last year, Rai had to play a marathon Sunday on the way to victory due to delays earlier in the week. He will be hoping for a smoother run this time around to defend his title. Mac Meissner, who scored six-under 64 with an eagle and four birdies, is also in contention, sitting in the clubhouse on 12-under 128.
As the tournament continues to navigate the challenges of the weather, all eyes will be on Young to see if he can maintain his impressive lead and secure a well-deserved victory.
