What happened to Cameron Young's driver at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic? Bizarre incident explored
The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic ended in a rather bizzare way for Cameron Young. While Cameron Young did not crack under pressure over the four days, his putter seemingly broke apart during the 14th hole of the final round.
With pressure to stay on top of his game going into the final few holes, Cameron Young took a moment to read the 14th hole after a snap hook shot. Frustrated with himself, he put his driver on the ground and leaned on it. The pressure he put on the driver caused the shaft to crack and break, putting his driver out of use.
According to Golf.com, the tournament official said that since the driver was broken due to Cameron Young's anger, he would not be able to replace it. Young ended up with two bogeys in the last four holes of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, eventually finishing T6.
Cameron Young is still in search of his first PGA Tour victory since joining the tour in 2021-22. Just last week, Young wrote his name in the history books after shooting a 59 during round 3 of the 2024 Travelers Championship.
