For PGA Tour star Cameron Young, the Rocket Mortgage Classic of the PGA Tour, held from July 27 to 30 in Detroit, Michigan, could have been a complete success. Before the final day, Young was in a promising position in the fight for the title. However, the final day did not go as planned, which his driver felt shortly before the end of the round.
PGA Tour: Cameron Young Breaks Driver After Missing Fairway
Looking at the scorecard of the 27 year-old, one might have thought that he could still be somewhat satisfied with his round up to his outburst on the 14th hole, as he was still 1-under-par at that point. However, it could have gone significantly better if Young had managed to get his driver under control. The American found only 3 of 10 fairways up to that point, which is why, after another miss on the 14th, he had had enough. On the par 5, he hooked the ball and once again missed the fairway. As a result, he put his weight on the driver, causing the shaft to break and rendering the club unusable for the remaining four holes. He finished his final round with a bogey-par-bogey finish, ultimately sharing 6th place.
