Cameron Young shot a closing 65 on his debut at St Andrews in 2022, and was denied the Claret Jug only by Cameron Smith’s 64 for a one-shot victory.
That came two months after he tied for third at the PGA Championship.
Young recorded another top-10 finish at Royal Liverpool 12 months later, and also at the 2023 and 2024 Masters.
After a glut of runner-up finishes, he claimed his first PGA TOUR title by romping to victory in the Wyndham Championship in August 2025 – in doing so becoming the 1,000th player to win a recognised PGA TOUR event.
He was the winner of back-to-back titles on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021 and made his PGA Championship debut was the following May. He was in contention before a double-bogey on the 16th hole dropped him to joint-third only one shot away from the play-off in which Justin Thomas beat Will Zalatoris.
Young played at the Junior Ryder Cup and Junior World Cup in 2014, and represented America again at the 2022 Presidents Cup.
