He made one of the great 2s on a 72nd hole in major championship history two weeks ago at The Old Course to tie Cam Smith's lead before Smith made a birdie to beat him by one, and he has four (!!) top-three finishes in his last seven events. 14 in the world in total strokes gained and is one of just three in that top 14 without a worldwide win (Shane Lowry and Will Zalatoris are the other two). Nobody deserves anything in golf, but if they did when Cameron Young would deserve to win very soon. This angle of tee shot on 15 😍 /oUhqYeJOGS- PGA TOUR JOther contenders That's definitely been true of the fields he's played in over the last two weeks (he's gained nearly 32 strokes in his last seven rounds), and if he reaches it again Sunday he will have won as many events in the last eight days as he did in his first eight years as a pro. Obviously there are better players and much more prolific winners, but when he's loping out in front, it certainly feels like he's got the simplest, most attainable top gear in the world. It was a day that reminded me of how easy Finau's best often looks. Everything else was a run at birdie or better. Finau was second in the field off the tee and third from tee to green on Saturday and only needed one putt of any substantial length for par. He had a putt for the round of the day on the 18th on Saturday that narrowly missed, but he was in complete control throughout the day. His last win (and his only two wins) came in 2019 on PGA Tour Canada so he'll feel some things he's unaccustomed to feeling on Sunday next to Finau as both strive to win the second to last PGA Tour event of the regular season.įinau, on the other hand, is looking for his second victory in a row after taking the 3M Open last week.
5 in the field in driving distance (which normally is a strong suit). He's been incredible with his iron play - not normally a strong suit - and ranks No. Pendrith has been awesome all week and ranks No. Now those two take a four-stroke lead on the rest of the field and have a 92% of producing this year's winner, according to Data Golf. Pendrith birdied the last to shoot 66, and Finau had a look at shooting 64 (which he missed) just after him. Taylor Pendrith, Tony Finau (-21): There were just 11 rounds of 65 or 66 on Saturday, and two of them came from the two guys who were leading the tournament coming into Saturday. Let's take a look at how Saturday set up what should be a fabulous finale at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. That group includes last year's PGA Tour Player of the Year, Patrick Cantlay, and the near Champion Golf of the Year, Cameron Young. They won't be the only two in contention over the final 18 holes though as a handful of big names and guys who are having terrific 2021-22 seasons positioned themselves nicely to make a run at this tournament title on Sunday after taking it deep on Saturday in Round 3. Tony Finau and Taylor Pendrith shot a best ball 60 on Saturday to set up a Sunday showdown between two of the longest players in the world.
Moving Day at the Rocket Mortgage Classic lived up to the hype as the Round 2 leaders extended their dominance at Detroit Golf Club.
