Young looked like an old pro Thursday in his debut at Hilton Head's Harbour Town Golf Links
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) -- Cameron Young showed it doesn't always take years of practice to go low at Harbour Town Golf Links, shooting an 8-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in his RBC Heritage debut.
The 24-year-old PGA Tour rookie had eight birdies in a bogey-free round, his first in the 60s in 11 rounds going back to a closing 65 at the Honda Classic more than six weeks ago.
Young was two shots in front of Chile's Joaquin Niemann and three ahead of seven others, including reigning FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay, Ireland's Shane Lowry -- who tied for third at the Masters last week -- and Canada's Corey Conners -- who was sixth at Augusta National.
