PGA News: Cameron Young on top as Wyndham Championship halted by lightning

Cameron Young held a one-stroke lead over defending champion Aaron Rai of England when the second round of the Wyndham Championship was suspended due to lightning on Friday in Greensboro, N.C.

The PGA Tour’s regular-season finale was halted at 4:32 p.m. local time with lightning in the area of Sedgefield Country Club. Two hours later, the tour said play would resume Saturday at 7:30 a.m.

Once the second round is completed, the third round will tee off in threesomes at Nos. 1 and 10 in order to fit in the next 18 holes.

Young and Rai were among those still on the course when play was called. Young had just birdied Nos. 14 and 15 to get to 7 under for the round and 14 under for the tournament. Rai had six birdies through 13 holes completed.

“Obviously I played some nice golf through 32-33 holes, whatever it is,” said Young, who’s seeking his first win on the PGA Tour. “Yeah, I’m really just trying to build on what I’ve done throughout the course of the year. Nothing really changes (on the weekend).”

Rai is in a familiar position after earning his first PGA Tour win at the Wyndham last year, when weather delays early in the week meant he and others had to play 36 holes on Sunday.

“I don’t think it’s quite going to be the same situation this year,” Rai said. “I hope not, anyway. That was a lot of golf.”

South Korea’s Sungjae Im shot 64 for the second straight day and shares the clubhouse lead with Mac Meissner at 12 under. Meissner fired a 7-under 63 to climb the leaderboard.

Mark Hubbard is alone in fifth at 11 under following a 66.

It is the final week for PGA Tour players to secure a spot in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings to qualify for the playoffs. Meissner, for instance, is a distant No. 152 in the standings and must win in order to crack the top 70. Meissner feels he’s in a “not much to lose” sort of scenario.

“If I happen to win this week, then I’ll be able to play the playoffs and that would be a dream,” he said. “If not, I’ll get to take some time off, some much needed time off, recoup and get ready for the fall. There’s obviously always pressure, always pressure to have good finishes to help my position a little bit more. I’m kind of in that position where I don’t really have much to lose at this point so that’s kind of nice.”

Another name to watch is former major winner Gary Woodland, who is attempting to make the playoffs for the first time since taking time away in 2023 to have a brain tumor removed.

Woodland entered the week No. 75 in the FedEx Cup standings and has a great chance of entering the top 70. He is 9 under par thanks to a 64 on Friday that featured an albatross from 190 yards away at the par-5 fifth hole.

“I hit a nice drive, had 186 (yards to the) hole, we were trying to land it 183 and the wind was a little in so we thought it was a perfect 7-iron and it came off right where we were looking, landed 183, landed three short,” Woodland said. “Nice to see the crowd go nuts to make sure it went in.”

Joel Dahmen, the first-round leader thanks to a white-hot 61, was even par through 10 holes Friday to remain at 9 under.

Notables include Tony Finau at 5 under following a 65, Rickie Fowler at 3 under after a 68 and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley likely to miss the cut after a 72 dropped him to even par. The projected cut line is 3 under par, but subject to change Saturday morning.
