GREENSBORO, N.C. — Cameron Young made two straight birdies to move ahead of defending champion Aaron Rye before he packed a tee shot into 6 feet in par 3 16th place when the stormy clouds gathered to stop play on Friday at the Wyndham Championship.<\/p>\n

The second round will resume at 7:30am on Saturday, with the third round taking place in three rounds starting with both nines at Sedgefield Country Club.<\/p>\n

Young is one of the best players who have not won the Major Tour and competed twice in the final time of the Major Championship. He is seven runner-ups on the PGA Tour, including the British Open at St Andrews.<\/p>\n

Young was 14 under par. Rye, who won his first PGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship a year ago, was 13 under and just missed the green on No. 14.<\/p>\n

Mac Meissner has a 7 under 63, and Sungjae im shot a 64, posted at 12 under 128 in the morning. Mark Hubbard shot a 66 and another shot. Hubbard needs at least a three-way tie second to advance into the postseason.<\/p>\n

The Wyndham Championship is the final regular season tournament, with the top 70 making it into a lucrative postseason.<\/p>\n

The 36-hole cut went 4 under if the score deteriorated when the round resumed Saturday. That meant that several seasons were over for players like Adam Hadwin and Zach Johnson.<\/p>\n

Max Homa desperately needed a birdie at 1 under on five holes to play, then spent a big weekend to avoid missing the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Adam Scott, No. 85 of the FedEx Cup, played the 15th hole at 4 under.<\/p>\n

Young has no such concerns at the 40th FedEx Cup. He plays Greensboro – he earned a degree in economics from Wake Forest – which has built an ambitious goal before him. This starts with reaching the Tour Championship and scoring as many points as possible for consideration of the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

Young grew up in New York – his father was a longtime head pro at Sleepy Hollow – and he swirled this rider cup since the American PGA announced he was going to Beth Page Black on Long Island.<\/p>\n

Even in this week’s victory, Young was only 15th in the rankings. The top six will automatically qualify within three weeks after the BMW Championship.<\/p>\n

“For me, this week isn’t necessarily the case. I have a goal. I’d like to play for that Ryder Cup team in New York in mid-September,” Young said. \u201cIf we can achieve that, we can achieve a lot in the next four weeks, so we try to keep that in mind, not just small things along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn’t a bit of a win at the tournament here, but I think it’s like looking out into the distance like that.<\/p>\n

Meissner is No. 152 and needs to win to move forward. He also finished in the top 100 at the end of the fall event to keep his card.<\/p>\n

Gary Woodland delivered the shots of the day. It was a 7-iron with a par 5 fifth hole, heading for the rare Albatross 2.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been playing well for a while, and my coach, Randy Smith, has been bothering me to stay patient. “When you’re not getting the results you want, the hardest thing is probably a bit fun.”<\/p>\n

“I’m in a much better place than I was a year ago, so I’m trying to have a bit of fun. It was good to see some of the things I’ve been going today.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
