by Cameron Young has scar tissue from the last Ryder Cup process.
Ninth in points yet bypassed for a place in the 2023 American team which was finally convincingly beaten in Rome, Young was frustrated, he admitted, being left at home.
“Define the year to give our captain no choice,” said Young, “and I don’t know if I am able to do it or not, but it would take a very good golf course by then.”
At least this week, nobody plays a better golf course.
Not even close, because Young is 20 years old under three Wyndham championship cycles, five clear shots entering the last Tour of Sunday at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, in North Carolina. Seven times by finalist, but no victory in his career as a PGA Tour, the 28 -year -old would love to open the valves entering the Fedexcup playoffs.
At n ° 19 points of the US Ryder Cup, he will probably not invent enough land to crack for the six automatic selections, which are determined after the BMW championship. But if he wins on Sunday, a victory that should bring him down well in the top 20 in points, he will probably go to the Tour championship, which means that after this week, his late hearing for Captain Keegan Bradley is three events.
A product by Scarborough, New York, Young makes its debut in a Black Bethpage Ryder Cup is particularly significant.
“I think this location is, first of all, one of my favorite golf courses in the world,” said Young. “I have a lot of good memories that play New York State open, and I’m sure that a New York crowd would be, at least, for my part to some extent. So yes, it was a goal all year round. I try to look at this to take all the little things that are going on day -to -day because it comes …
“In the bottom of my mind, I try to imagine myself in this team.”
So how does Young compare himself to the other potential choices of American captain?
He has 74th in total of the blows won, which is well behind names such as Patrick Cantlay (11), Ben Griffin (14), Jordan Spieth (16), Sam Burns (23), Daniel Berger (24), Chris Gotterup (28) and Maverick Mcnely (32).
But it is 10th in the blows that have gained in place, a better career.
“I have the impression that mechanically, I am just a better putter than I am at any other moment in my career,” said Young.
And then he is 157th in stroke acquired an approach, although he apparently discovered something last week. During the week off, he was watching through old swing videos when he noticed that his best iron oscillations had more print bias. He decided to undertake to hit prints to, hope, to build a feeling that seems to have since rooted.
Young has the 13th row in stroke acquired an approach through 54 holes in the Wyndham, while he is also in the lead on the field by putting and secondly.
“I had the tendency to try to love what it was to hit something more straight and did not do it,” said Young. “Yeah, safe to say that I will probably do that tomorrow, see what it does to me.”
It could be the first title of PGA Tour de Young.
And it could ultimately be his first sign of Ryder Cup, just as Young was imagined.
