Augusta: Cameron Young said that his recent rise up the golf rankings has shown that he can put himself in a position to win major honours -- but it has not changed his life.
Young heads into the Masters at a career-high number three after his win at The Players Championship last month for his second PGA Tour triumph. The first came last August in Greensboro.
With two top-10 Masters showings in the past three years and second place at the 2022 British Open, Young feels comfortable amongst the sport’s elite as he chases a first major title. “I have no idea what the stats would say, but I feel like I’ve played really consistent golf over the course of almost the last year really,” Young said.
“It has been a long road to get to number three. I spent a lot of time between 15 and 20 over the course of the last few years and then had a big dip (at) the beginning of last year. “So it has really been kind of a long march back up and to finally be, for the first time in my career, a top-10 player in the world is pretty cool -- never mind top-five. “It’s where I want to be. I feel like the golf I’ve played over the last year has really been good proof of that.”
