Cameron Young had a very relatable question following his first PGA Tour victory
On the PGA Tour’s list of long list of nearly men, Cameron Young was at or near the top. Operative word: Was. After seven runner-up finishes in his four years on tour, Young finally broke through at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday, building an eight-stroke cushion that proved too insurmountable for even first-time jitters to upset. When Young finally tapped in on the 72nd hole, the look on his face was a mixture of relief, validation and, oddly, confusion. After the handshakes were over and the reality began to settle in, Young had just one question:
Where do I go?
We’ve all been there. Not the PGA Tour’s winner circle specifically, but in an overwhelming new place, unable to tell the entrance from the exit. The good news is that you can only be a debut winner once, and the next time Young tastes victory on the PGA Tour, he’ll know what to do with his hands (to borrow a phrase from the great Ricky Bobby).
Disoriented or not, Young’s victory made him the 1,000th different player to win a tournament on the PGA Tour and vaulted the New York native into late Ryder Cup consideration. All in all, not too shabby for a first-timer.
