Cameron Young was sitting dead last on Thursday after carding a 70, but then Friday happened. The man dropped a dazzling 62 and suddenly, he’s just two shots off the lead at the Tour Championship! Talk about a wild ride; this guy went from the bottom of the barrel to legitimate contender faster than you can say “FedEx Cup.” With only 29 players left in the field, anything can truly happen and this move just blew the whole thing wide open.
The Top Is Absolute Chaos Heading Into Saturday
While Young stole the show, let’s not forget our leaders. Ryan Gerard and Viktor Hovland are tied at 10 under heading into the weekend. Gerard has been steady, firing matching 65s in his first two rounds, while Hovland backed up a Thursday 64 with a 66 on Friday. But it’s super bunched up there. Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup are right on their heels, both looking for another win this season. And you can’t count out World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who’s lurking just two back. He’s looking for another Tour Championship crown, and you know he’s got that killer instinct. It’s anybody’s guess who walks away with the title and that massive $10 million winner’s purse.
$10 Million On The Line For The FedEx Cup Champion
This isn’t just about a tournament win; it’s about the FedEx Cup title and a whopping $10 million from the $40 million total purse. Tommy Fleetwood proved in 2025 that a hot week at the right time is all you need under this new format, where staggered starting strokes are a thing of the past. Cameron Young’s incredible climb from last place after day one just perfectly illustrates how quickly fortunes can change in a field this small. It’s a high-stakes, all-out sprint to Sunday, and every shot matters.
Round 3 on Saturday kicks off at 11:55 a.m. ET. You can catch the early action on Golf Channel from 1-3 p.m. ET, or stream it on GolfChannel.com. Then, the main event hits CBS and Paramount+ from 3-7 p.m. ET. Don’t miss a second of this, because if Friday was any indication, Saturday is going to be absolutely electric as these guys battle for that insane $10 million prize and the FedEx Cup championship.
