Cameron Young is a lock for PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.

The 25-year-old Wake Forest product made sure of it this weekend at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where he fired 65-68 to tie for second at Detroit Golf Club.

Young was solo second at The Open and shared second at the Genesis Invitational among those runners-up, and one of his two T-3’s came in another major, the PGA Championship. In fact, Young has been so dominant compared to other rookies that he began the week having earn 203 OWGR points this season, about 107 more than Sahith Theegala, thought to be Young’s top ROY competition before the past few weeks.
