Rex & Lav Pod: The maddening and mystifying case of Cameron Young

Cam Davis won the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but other moments from the day will linger longer.

In this edition of the Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav, senior writers Rex Hoggard and Ryan Lavner discuss Cameron Young’s back-nine meltdown (which included a snapped driver on the 14th hole) and Akshay Bhatia’s 72nd-hole three-putt that cost him a shot at the title.

Plus, they explore how other full-field events could follow the RMC’s lead and lean into the youth movement.
