The 2026 Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club has produced a high-scoring second round. Cameron Young posted a course-record-tying 61, bringing him to 10 under for the tournament. He now shares the lead with Patrick Cantlay and Patrick Fishburn as the field navigates the Detroit layout.
Young started his round with seven birdies in his first eight holes. While he noted his disappointment in not breaking the PGA Tour record of 58, he remains in prime position for the weekend. The scoring conditions in Detroit allowed many players to stay within striking distance.
Rickie Fowler, the 2023 tournament winner, sits two shots off the pace at 8 under. Despite a late-round wobble with bogeys on the back nine, his birdie on 18 kept him in contention. Matt Wallace matches his position, also two shots back.
First-round leader Peter Malnati followed his opening 61 with a 71. He remains in the mix alongside a large group of players, including Xander Schauffele. Hideki Matsuyama secured his 30th consecutive cut made, while Tony Finau continues to fight for position in the FedEx Cup standings.
Notable results include Matt Kuchar, who recorded his seventh career hole-in-one on the 5th hole. Meanwhile, several high-profile players including U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and Chris Gotterup failed to make the cut. The tournament moves into the weekend with a tight leaderboard and scoring records within reach.
