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.
