Cameron Young feels refreshed after taking one week off following a runner-up finish at the Open Championship.<\/p>\n

No. 3 in both the FedEx Cup standings and Official World Golf Ranking, Young hopes a little bit of rest goes a long way this week when he returns to action at the Rocket Classic in Detroit.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019m going to play from here through the end of the season,\u201d Young, 29, said on Tuesday. \u201cSo I\u2019m going to play here at the Rocket Classic and then Wyndham next week and then the playoffs. I had my time off. I was two off before the (Open Championship) and then off last week. Yeah, did my best to catch up on some rest and get some practice in to kind of prepare for a long stretch at the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Young came close at the Masters (T3) and the Open Championship, he did capture two big wins this season at The Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship.<\/p>\n

In order to secure win No. 3 this weekend, he\u2019ll have to navigate a new-look North Course at Detroit Golf Club. The course underwent a $16 million renovation project that was completed in time for this week\u2019s event, playing as a par 70 at 7,328 yards after being a par 72 in the past.<\/p>\n

All in all, bunkers were added and deepened, and a pair of par-5 holes (Nos. 7 and 17) on the course were altered to long par 4s.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, 17 never struck me as a really easy par 5,\u201d Young said. \u201cThat tee shot, it\u2019s one of those that it\u2019s awkward almost in the sense that it\u2019s so straight. There really wasn\u2019t a ton visually out there, it was kind of just fairway as far as you could see. There\u2019s that pole in the distance that\u2019s kind of a good target. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I played it (Monday). I hit a really good tee shot and I had 5-iron in, so it\u2019s going to be a beast of a hole. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 I haven\u2019t seen No. 7 yet, but that between the two of them was more a hole that I feel like I should make 4. So I\u2019m curious to see. I was looking at the yardage book yesterday and I\u2019ll be curious to see how it plays. I think that the scoring will certainly see a shift, just those two holes are turned from relatively not easy par 5s but gettable par 5s and they\u2019re going to be difficult holes in relation to par.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take too much prying for Young to recall fond memories of playing at the Rocket Classic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s been a great place for me to come,\u201d he said. \u201cI finished second, I think, my first year and sixth the second year, so I\u2019ve played some nice golf here. I have good memories of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
