A fortnight ago, the Kiwi golfer had his first missed cut at a major championship since 2022 when he found himself a shot beyond the cut line at The Open in Northern Ireland. That came after he finished in a tie for 65th at the Scottish Open the week prior.

Cameron Young made two straight birdies to move ahead of defending champion Aaron Rai and then stuffed his tee shot on the par-3 16th into 6 feet when storm clouds gathered and halted play Friday in the Wyndham Championship.
