2026 Tour Championship: Cameron Young makes quick turnaround at East Lake, shoots 62

Cameron Young birdied seven out of nine holes during the middle of Friday's second round in Atlanta, charging up the Tour Championship leaderboard a day removed after being tied in last place .

He eagled at par-5 18th to complete an 8-under 62 and temporarily catch first round leader Min Woo Lee , who completed his first hole a few minutes before Young's day ended.

It was a remarkable turn of event for Young, who was just three players in the field to card an opening round 70. He bogeyed three of his first five holes and never recovered Thursday, despite a Round 1 scoring average that dipped below 67.

Round 2 was the complete opposite for the 2026 Players champ , who was the first player off the tee and posted a 30 on his front nine behind a string of three straight birdies from holes Nos. 4 through 6.

He went birdie-birdie to open his back nine — opening the possibility for a 60 or sub-60 score — before running into trouble at the par-4 12th. His first bogey of the round dropped Young to 6 under, where he stayed for more than an hour thanks to five consecutive pars.

The TOUR Championship brings this season's top players to East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta to crown the 2026 FedExCup champion.

Then came the big moment to finish the round — an eagle putt, perhaps his best of the season.

Young played alone Friday, just like Lee did a day earlier. Lee was playing with J.J. Spaun on the front nine, when the 2025 U.S. Open champ withdrew due to a right shoulder injury .

Lee went on to play well without him, tying a career-low mark for a single round with an 8-under 62.

He went par-par to open his second round, leaving him tied at 8 under with Young as of 2:30 p.m. Friday.
