DETROIT – U.S. Presidents Cup Captain Davis Love III may have found America’s next winning tandem.
It was by no accident that Love was grouped for the first two rounds of the Rocket Mortgage Classic with young stars Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris. The former Wake Forest University teammates put on a show, especially Young who fired a 9-under 63 on Friday to grab the lead during the second round at Detroit Golf Club.
“Well, if they made the team, they’re a natural. It’s like Xander (Schauffele) and Patrick (Cantlay), they’re like peas in a pod,” Love said. “The only thing I asked them, you know, we’ve had guys before that hang out together all the time and do everything together but they don’t really want to play together. I said, ‘Do you want to play together? ‘No, no, no, we do everything together.’
