by Greensboro, NC – The Sleepy Hollow Country Club festival, where Cameron Young learned to play the game, started Pavilion Bar early at 1:55 p.m. on Sunday. The club offered $ 3 of beer, wine and cocktails for each birdie, free drinks for an eagle and an open bar if it were to win.
About the only thing Young did not have done was an eagle, but the 28 -year -old professional, whose father, David, was a club professional for 20 years, took care of the business, pulling 2 under 68 at the Sedgefield Country Club and Blitz the field by six strokes to win the Wyndham championship. Mac Meissner closed with 66 to finish second, a better blow than Mark Hubbard and Alex Noren. Young, who played his university golf course at Wake Forest University nearby, finally tasted the victory with style after finishing finalist seven times, the greatest number of PGA Tour players without victory since 2003.
“I have been waiting for it for a while,” he said. “I was not going to let him move away from me today.”
Young had never held an advance or a co-head of 54 holes until he fired tours of 63-62-65 to build a five-stroke advantage. On Sunday, the young man has Bogey the first hole, reducing his advance with four shots momentarily, but it turned out to be an alarm clock while he was responding by paying five consecutive birdies starting to the second hole. His advance has reached up to nine years. He said he decided to go back to play a draw this week, his favorite ball flight when he was younger, and it was the key to victory.
“I might have subsided a driver who went to the right, but I think each other blow was from left to left,” he said. “I had the tendency to try to love what it was to hit something more straight and not.”
After his foggie in Rise -Tôt – he played the first nine in 18 within the week – he asserted the victory with 10 pars and Bogeys at 16 and 17, a total of 72 holes of 22 -mine of 258, and became the 1,000th winner of the PGA Tour.
“Everyone knew how good it was,” said WebB Simpson, another demon deacon. “There are a lot of guys who, in our opinion, are good enough to win, but you are still not sure until you do it. It was a little different to know, as we knew, everyone knew how good it was.”
He added Young, who has already played in the team of the Cup of the Presidents of the United States 2022, “I think it has a very high ceiling. It is long. Now, it is 10th to put this year, so I think it will be one of those situations where he will be a guy that we are talking about for 10 or 15 years.”
Young grew up at Sleepy Hollow and stacked victories on the house front. At the age of 14, he became the youngest winner of the Westchester lover. Young won the IKE championship in 2015 and 2016 and the New York State Open in 2017 at Bethpage Black, where he carded a last round 64. He was the player of the year in 2015.
And speak for the US Ryder Cup team for next month at Bethpage Black, where he has once held the course record. Young improved in n ° 15 in the United States Ryder Cup classification with two tournaments to play.
“Whenever you are about to win at 10, you have to talk about him,” said Simpson. “And he certainly has the right game for this golf course. He simply adds his name to the list of many guys who are difficult to say for us.”
The members of Sleepy Hollow will work for this.
