Cameron Young used to have wild expectations for how good he should be in golf
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Cameron Young had given up on his own expectations, and for good reason.
Seeing him pose with The Players Championship trophy makes it easy to forget that he once tied a PGA Tour record with seven runner-up finishes — all of them in a 30-month span — before winning. His Sunday stroke average for those silver medals was 67.5. Someone was always a little bit better.
Young missed winning two majors by a whisker his rookie year in 2022. He made double bogey from a bunker on the 16th hole in the PGA Championship and finished one shot out of a playoff.
"One of those times I’m going to shoot 5 under on the back and that’s going to be good enough,” he said that day at Southern Hills. Two months later he shot 5 under on the back nine at St. Andrews. Cameron Smith shot 30 and beat him by one.
